Ocean man, take me by the hand to a spooky land I won’t understand…

[@symantares9171]

Fun fact: in the earliest (that we know) myths, sirens were actually birdlike, closer to harpies than mermaids

[@Rixec2]

In space, no one may hear you scream, but under the sea, you will drown in them.

[@gorvarhadgarson5227]

Wow...I knew The Little Mermaid reboot made some changes but jeez!

[@mesektet5776]

Under the sea, under the sea,
Darling, it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me…

[@rachelh2816]

really good bumper. It's amazing how creepy you can get with lower tech video.

[@Rexaura888]

1:14 Remember that time Linkara had to sit through an infomercial on Mylar with Sunny Jim?

[@dylantyree6327]

Not to be confused with the underrated Alice In Chains song.

[@keiththompson9435]

*Cue a dark rock cover ( Can we get Halestorm on it) of Under the Sea*

[@Canadamus_Prime]

So the creature was like a giant angler fish.

[@ninjaman1986]

Oh man, that Sunny Jim joke. 😂 Pretty sure Moarte hit bone on that deep cut.

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.

[@zeroryoko999]

And my bumper got in! You have made my night! Thank you and congrats to those that also got their bumpers in.

[@louisduarte8763]

Huh. When I think of the words "U-boats" and "German bars of gold", I don't think of World War I. Feels like a rewrite.

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

They were first called U-boats in WWI and Lovecraft’s “The Temple” is an actual interwar-written horror story about a WWI U-boat crew meeting a horrible fate.

[@OrpheusSpyros5]

As I sit by my Window watching as All Hallows comes closer & closer like The Demeter did in Dracula, I'm reminded that sometimes those "Old Sailors Yarn's" aren't always just Stories to tell....
Wonderful pic Morate. Well done.

[@captainteutonica5474]

Just got done watching an Angry Video Game Nerd video, that actually reminded me to swing back in here. Glad you're still going strong Linkara!

[@DeathofInk]

Now that's a pretty creepy ending bumper!

[@lucithana23]

"Probably a Spice Girls song."
...
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta feed me your friends!

[@mesektet5776]

Under the sea, under the sea,
Darling, it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me…

[@asalways1504]

People say that the sea divides us, but on the contrary, it connects us.

[@jamesmoss3424]

It just like The Abyss. 😀👍

[@djquinn4825]

I know this is pedantic, but I'd like to mention that while they've overlapped in how they're depicted at times, Mermaids and Sirens are supposed to be separate mythological creatures. In fact, Sirens were depicted as bird women by the Ancient Greeks and it wasn't until much later that depictions of them as fish women became prevalent.

[@mattr75]

I was about to post a similar comment. Thanks for doing that. Glad to see someone else acknowledge that mermaids and sirens are not the same thing

[@TheSpawnfan]

I was going to post something similar, but you did, good to see someone also knows sirens and mermaids are different, trivia is not pedantic though.

[@EmperorSeth]

Look, the harpies had a better union, you know how these things go.

[@mikegates8993]

That explains their design in the Witcher games.

[@satinthrone]

Great video! Really enjoy this season every year.
*loudly sings Alice in Chains*

[@92Mutu]

I think this is my favorite comic from this years Longbox. Amazingly creepy and athmospheric. And brings a smile to hear Moartes laugh!

[@giorgioguolo7196]

The art of this comic is so bloody beautiful

[@neogotham2k395]

I guess Ariel from original Little Mermaid got mad at the remake to become a monster and lashing out everything

[@baliyae]

I’ll never look at Ariel the same way again after this.

[@DanBrizuela]

Moarte knows about the Spice Girls but not Christmas

[@johnsesia9050]

Early-to-mid or late 1926?

[@kobysarna]

Yay new Lod episode ^^

[@brendakrieger7000]

Long live LOTD👻💀

[@Jemini4228]

So basically you need to send a crew of all het women or ace people after this sunken boat. They won't be captivated by the song.

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

Or gay guys or deaf people, I guess.

[@JaguarCats]

*Sings* Under the sea! Under the sea! Darling it's better down where it's wetter take it from me!
Up on the shore they work all day! Out in the sun they slave away! while we be devoting full time to floating! Under the Sea!...

[@thejimg]

Apparently UA-cam thinks this is a song, lol...

[@ProfessM]

By Lord Beerus' deadly tail! I'm not sure which amazes me more that you're covering a comic that takes places near me or that you didn't butcher the name is Newfoundland like so many mainlanders do! And what a fantastic monster the siren be. Personally I feel she's singing Saltwater Joys. You know thinking about it Moarte would like it here, some say we're the most haunted island in all of Canada. Sure someone could make a nice graphic novel about our ghosts and monsters.

[@bleakautomaton4808]

Shark sirens of the u-boat wreck

[@crithon]

wow

[@171QA]

XD

[@djkehoe4480]

Geez Linkara you really aren't going to do any Eerie or Creepy this year. Not that this isnt a good book

[@michaelkostas6717]

Well the month isn’t over yet
