The Reanimation Experiment | H. P. Lovecraft ASMR

You meet with a particularly infamous Arkham doctor who plans on performing an experiment which is a matter of life and death.
Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's story: Herbert West - Reanimator

If you are new to "ASMR" and/or my channel, welcome aboard and thanks for dropping by! The majority of videos I create, often in an unorthodox manner, are meant to help you relax, sleep, hopefully experience ASMR, and any other use that might help you find some peace of mind, concentrate, study, decompress, etc.
What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's just a non-scientific, made-up term that a layperson came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasant tingling sensation felt in various parts of the body (head, scalp, back, legs, etc.) in response to various visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles". However, the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming, comforting and soothing experience for people beyond ASMR purposes. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy these videos. I experienced ASMR throughout my life, but no longer do.

I'd like to see a "last meal" video where "we" are on our last legs and a few of the characters(Corvus, Dave, Yuri, The Professor, etc) stop by each bringing their own parcel to add to the meal. At the end it could be revealed that "we" were actually one of the characters who didn't show up, like Grandpa, only for a sequel video being an "outside looking in" style video where Cthulhu or someone equally arcane performs a ritual of sorts over a vaguely human shaped figure under a sheet. At the end there's a fade to black as we hear the figure sit up from under the sheet, and we hear a brief exchange between the two of them. A follow up video might be a checkup of sorts where The Professor tests to see if there are any unforseen side affects of the ritual, say *memory loss.* Turns out this particular story arc is a set-up to how Grandpa becomes Al Z. Heimer.

Herbert West has always been one of my favourites by Lovecraft, so an ASMR on it is always welcome! Have you ever thought of doing some ASMR videos based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe or Arthur Machen? They were Lovecraft's inspiration and have some great stories you could draw inspiration from.

[@redsoulheart5040]

Your videos and the lore behind them (from what I’ve seen) is both intriguing yet teetering on the edge of disturbing. It goes without saying that your videos/lore could become very dark, VERY fast considering the context of Lovecrafts work, Cuthulu and the general stigma about sanitariums/Asylums. However I rarely feel creeped out by your videos, Corvus is to me the most relaxing and comforting of the characters. It’s pretty amazing how you balance out this stuff. Cause again, can go very horror,dark and creepy very quickly. I’m still not convince Corvus and the other ‘doctors’ aren’t performing highly illegal and life ruining painful experiments on me or that the Arkam Sanatarium isn’t secretly a cult. But for the most part your videos are light hearted and good. Just, please don’t let Corvus or Margret or Professor Clemens sacrifice me to the dark lord :...)
