Thomas & Friends - Duncan Gets Spooked

[@fuse2943]

25 years later and that bridge sequence still gives me the shivers... 10/10

[@sodorflubbs5000]

That last bit was scarier than the whole story. Seeing the driver coming towards me really got me. Good jump scare.

No it was terrible and I didn't flinch the first time watching

0:42. That wail of the Piccolo sends chills up my spine every time.

[@amarko52]

It's like the engine's whistle echoing as it falls into the swamp

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

Same. It's haunting.

[@traingoddess]

"Haunted bridge, pah" Said Duncan "It's as tame as a pet rabbit"

[@calebc.2290]

But all the same, he kept thinking about Rusty's story.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

I remember him saying "rubbish" but it may have been because I watched the American releases instead of the British releases for most of the episodes.

[@zackiechan1008]

When night fell, they set off. The mists were rising around the Old Iron Bridge. Duncan whistled and the sound echoed everywhere. Then, ahead, he saw flickering lights. His Driver knew that they were only insects that shine brightly at night, but to Duncan they looked like an engine. Next, His Driver secretly threw a rock from the cab into the ravine below. “It's the ghost! Take me back! Take me back, please!”😮🟡🚂

[@calebc.2290]

Spooked are you duncan?

[@rensenseproductions9900]

@@calebc.2290 “Nooo, I’m asleep!” And Duncan refused to open his eyes.

He did though when he thought his driver wasn’t looking. Just to make sure that he was still there.👻🚂

[@FutureRailProductions]

I love it when people do this.

[@AaronHodson94]

This was such a traumatic episode to watch as a child! But now as an adult I appreciate it’s brilliant and unique musical score so much, it fits the mood perfectly! Great adaptation Luke!! 👏👏👏 I’d love to see the same for Haunted Henry this time next year! 🤞🎶

[@InstrumentManiac]

Totally! Mike and Junior are genius. Thanks Aaron!

[@callumhaigh8233]

I’d love to hear Thomas Percy and the Dragon music.

[@nickgeisel9600]

i agree with that one also

[@reimufan205]

That would be so awesome to hear!!!

[@biggallcaps]

This is a very good song and has been represented well! Good job as always

[@monster56619]

That harp strum literally gave me goosebumps, but dang that cover was creepy in a great way. Nice work man. And got me with that ending jump scare, I let my guard down hahaha

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha glad to hear!

[@Douglas57647]

This was the perfect theme to cover for sp00ky season! Of all the dark/scary episodes in Thomas, I think this one is the scariest of all. Even though we know Duncan's crew is really playing a trick on him, the music throughout is absolutely chilling. It's dark and ominous yet also depressing at the same time, befitting the tragic accident that happened to the unknown engine that night. It never fails to send a chill down my spine!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Totally agree! It's kind of a silly story but the music really makes the whole ordeal feel terrifying 😱

[@uberkukui3212]

You should do an extended version of the triumphant theme from season 4 I believe. Its a really immersive orchestral piece that ive been dying to hear remade

[@InstrumentManiac]

I'll check it out!

[@Gmk4667]

This episode scared the HELL out of me as a kid. If I were to make a list of the things that scared me as a kid, this episode would easily take number 1. Your rendition gives me chills, man. I love it!

[@thegoddessa6429]

SAME!!!! I woke up in the middle of the night and this episode was on. Had never seen the episode before. Been scared for years; then I had to decide whether or not I was dreaming.

[@nicholasozorak2931]

Phenomenal job Luke. I love the depth you provide with the strings, the flourishes with the harp, and the "Riders on the Storm" twinkle around 0:17. It's all here and wonderfully mixed, especially with the wind instruments at 0:35. I confess that you *might* have startled me at the end. Happy Halloween!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha glad to hear the jump-scare worked 😂 thanks Nick I really appreciate it!

[@Arr0wzWii]

1:46 Duncan's Driver: Spooked, are you, Viewers? :D

[@InstrumentManiac]

😱😱

[@Lukedolan33]

That was awesome Luke! I can’t wait to hear possibly hear Haunted Henry next year.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks Luke - same here!

[@UsefulEngine11]

Now this definitely feels like a cinematic version of Duncan gets spooked theme. You didn't awesome job with it Luke. Happy Halloween

[@rickytownfuntown7582]

The end freaked me out … I love it !!!!!!

[@nickgeisel9600]

i would be looking forward to the haunted Henry theme when entering the branchline the first time and then the rapid scary moment theme as Henry approaches the same area again

[@mercury7590]

Ngl that jumpscare at the end got me 😂

[@neikowilburn101]

Duncan Gets Spooked is the most bone-chilling and intriguing episodes in season 5 with the most disturbing music ever for halloween 🎃 🎃 🎃

[@jonathanadair6847]

How about Stepney Gets Lost with its ominous music and red lighting in the smelters?

[@FlyingTooFast]

And every year on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others… plunging into the gap shrieking like a lost soul!

[@nicoferguson1215]

Spot on! Hell, I could easily mistake it as a remaster if I was only listening

[@blueythomas1268]

That jumpscare of the driver though. That got me going. 😳😳

[@InstrumentManiac]

mission accomplished! 😂

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

"A long time ago, a Little Engine was returning home." "It was a misty moonlit night." "Suddenly, the engine lost control, and plunged over the side into the swamps below." "He was never found again." "But many a Workman will tell you that when the moon is full, they have seen the engine trying to get home." *"But he never reaches the other side."*

[@SaltyVan]

Happy Duncan gets spooked fan noises

[@bleentrean5849]

Yes, I also think that shot of Duncan's driver looked a little unnerving. His tilted head always makes me think of the Family of Blood from Doctor Who.

[@NOLJAK101]

Rusty: now I’ll tell you a story that will make your funnel quiver… (Starting @ 0:00)

[@FrankieBonsignoreMusic]

IT’S THE GHOOOOOOST TAKE ME BAAAAAAACK TAKE ME BACK PLEEEASE Great work Luke!!

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

What a great theme Duncan gets spooked!, this episode is chilling especially since the adaptation captures the story of the ghost engine.

[@rikipondi]

Duncan: I'm a plain speakin' engine and I believe in plain' speakin, speak up! After hearing this theme: This isn't fair, Peter Sam gets a new funnel, Sir handel gets special wheels, passengers get ice cream, and I get some music? Me: No, you get the spookiest Thomas Episode of all time...

[@cameronkaminski6035]

Haunted Henry would sound amazing.

😂😂

[@saulgodinez3667]

Awesome video and here’s a quote from rusty 1 night a little engine was trying to get home ( meaning the railway) but suddenly it got lost control and plunging in the muddy swamp he was never found again but many workmen tell you when the moon was full you see the engine on the bridge trying to get across but it never made it to the other side

[@yellownotmellow]

this was horrifying to watch at the age of 5 holy crap only now can i appreciate the visuals and score

[@InstrumentManiac]

It's a fantastic score!

[@brandonprokop4935]

"Fancy not securing your trucks on the hill, they'll come back to spook you and your special funnel. Wooo-wooo-wooo." "And who's to say that you're not afraid of ghosts?" Snapped Rusty. "Pah, ghosts, things that go bump in the night, rubbish!"

[@brandonprokop4935]

"Well I'll tell you a story that'll make your funnel quiver," said Rusty. "A long time ago, a little engine was returning home. It was a misty moonlit night. As the engine crossed the old iron bridge he suddenly lost control, and plunged over the side, into the swamps below. He was never found again, but many of workmen will tell you, that when the moon is full they have seen the little engine trying to get home, but he never reaches the other side. So what did you think of that Duncan?" "Pah, nonsense." Replied Duncan, and he puffed away. "Nevermind him Peter Sam, he'd be frightened of he really saw a ghost."

[@liamde-maine3088]

I think this was the most emotional theme the little engine that couldn’t get to the other side of the bridge so sad

[@JJKAIJU]

It’s not easy to forget that we literally see a living train fall off a bridge and drown in a swamp!

As the engine was travelling across the Old Iron Bridge, he suddenly lost control and fell off the bridge, plunging into the Cattle Creek ravine below. No one was able to find his remains. However, in the light of the full moon, several workmen claimed to have seen his ghost repeatedly trying to cross the bridge, only to disappear half way every time."

As the engine across the old iron bridge, then suddenly ran over the dangling rail. And plunged over the side, fell into the swamp below. He and his crew never to be seen and heard from again. When many workmen will tell you that when the moon is full, you can see the little engine was trying to get home. But he never reaches to the over side.
