I like how ‘Becca’s videos are starting to have a trend of starting with an interaction with the audience. Like those screens on theme parks while you wait in line for the ride. It fits ‘Becca PERFECTLY!
Yea it just really feels like a friend inviting you for pie and telling stories its really nice :D
Are we not gonna talk about the fact that Becca managed to bake pumpkin pie for 1.7 million people?
I don’t feel cozy and warm at the end of this video and I’m watching this at night so yea love it totally mabey
3.96**
and lets not forget how there's sOo much room in her lil tree cottage to fit everyone
She did order 426 pumpkins in the running away video so yeah :D

“Selling Your Soul for Fame”
There’s definitely a reason for why this channel is called Let Me Explain Studios
@Lotus shut
Ur everywhere now
People made up these stories to feel good about themselves and hate on those who are rich and famous for their talents. These old and narrow minded jealous people still comment on videos of celebrities that shit to feel better about themselves. It’s ridiculous.

I’m living for these spooky treehouse vibes
Hi
jelly jess im a huge fan
Me to
Yooooo jelly jess
I was just wachting a vid of yours before this
Wow, you're just a good story teller! This was amazing and left a quite spooky message. Although, this does teach me not to sell my soul to be famous or rich.
I just got it. Rebecca’s the little girl in the story. That’s why she’s worried at the beginning of the video. She knows the man is after her
Also at the very end at 5:35 if you look very closely you can see a shadow following her.
@@secretchicken3579 …Well, that’s creepy! 😰
That’s what I thought too
I agree with you I do think maybe just maybe she is the little girl please someone agree with me
“You will hear a second set of footsteps behind you”
Me: gets freaked out after hearing my dog coming behind me for food
Also Me: 👁👄👁
"Oh you scared me I I thought you were something else"
-rebeca
Tragically beautiful. That’s all I can say.
OMG I USED TO WATCH YOU A COUPLE YEARS AGO!!!
Well hello there
Agree
You here, a Vyond guy comments a real animate
@@SumreetSMastered Okay.
DID YOU HAVE TO ADD THAT PART AT THE END?!
"Oh, yeah, almost forgot! HES REAL AND HES COMIN' FOR YA!"
now ill have plenty of fun walking by myself...
5:11
Rebecca: If you hear a second set of footsteps when you walk alone, be care the mad musician doesn't take you instead.
Me: THE HELL he wants with me he needs his daughter to make the deal.
Maybe he needs any kid?
Bruh I am almost a teenager, what does the mad musician do then??
Listen, evil ghosts eternally cursed by satan aren't particularly known for being smart, ok?
Pun intended?
@@MechagojiVR no
satan really out here sayin "no take backsies"
That's the thing if you were to make a deal with the Devil. You can't go back and change your decision once you figure out it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and there will always be a loophole - something you didn't think of, or thought would be too miniscule for it to even make a difference - to exploit and turn against you.
@@EmiPlayzMC Indeed! I mean the Devil isn't one to be fair. Evil tends to be manipulative and deceptive. Can never climb out of the pit that is evil once you sign your life away.
@@kellmedd4925 Exactly - it'll pretend it's going to be good for you, help you in some way. That's why you never want to deal with evil, it may bring you what you asked for, but never in the way you'd expect or want. "Be careful what you wish for."
“There are no take-backsies in my kingdom.”

Bro I saw the word chan and died but I didn't mean to make your name feel bad I just have bad memories very bad
I swear to god her animation just got better and better over these years

Agreed
thats how it goes
Practice makes perfect
Agreed-
I love the design of the musician in the illustrations, especially how his clothes are thicker and the ends of his sleeve and at the ends of his trousers (yes I am British if you’re wondering) I also really like the design for his spirit at 4:52 especially his back and hat with it looking like a wispy flame
Is it just me or is Rebecca really good at having a Halloween vibe with her fellow subscribers and of course having my soul feel very stressed. Well way worse then stressed
This story got me really thinking - I wasn't expecting something so intense. You're doing BEAUTIFUL Becca (alongside your team) in your animations on top of it - the audio and style of the art really set the tone of your haunting story. Wonderful job on the effort for this animation.. it shows the amount of work you and your team put into it, and thank you for letting us in on a message so important this Halloween.
@Lotus stop
Yup
WOAH! THAT'S A LOT OF LIKES LMFAO
I feel like Becca is either trying to make a story and lore with her animations, or is just... doin her Becca thing. Either way, I'm very happy with whatever direction this is going in.
you know what they say..
*Lore means war*
Ikr that would be interesting if the story related to her animations
@@MythicalLoaf This is now my discord status
Its a Halloween Special
Hello fellow non binary
What really gave me the thought of Rebecca being the girl in the story is because she said “This story just came to me” insinuating she was the one who made it up, but then she said “They say ------“ meaning she’s not the only one who’s heard this story. Yes, people can make up things said in stories, however, it’s not a common thing, and even though she could’ve made up the story and put in her own “they say this and that” it’s not really likely for her kind of character. I didn’t think she was the girl because of her thinking we were someone else, or the pair of footsteps. I listened closely. And that’s what set off the trigger for me. If you had the same thought, please share!
2:49 I'm sorry but I'm not sorry... that musician got invited to join smash.
😔
"They didn't like him they liked his daughter"
....I don't like where this is going
ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html….
Mhm wait is that EDP in the crowd
For some reason I thought that they would like his daughter so much that people would start to stalk her and then kidnap her
@@mediatorraptor3349fr kinda glad it was her father chasing her instead of the entire world
“There’s pumpkin pie cooling in the kitchen, should be enough for everyone.”
Hey, when the 3 million of y’all are done, could you save the last slice for someone who’s just subscribed?
oh if it isn't enough i can cut mine in half for you :>
Here let me give you slice 🎂
🥧
Here, i'll share half my slice with you too!
@@savyluwiii dont worry i just made another batch! You can get half a slice of mine
Hehe, this is one of my favorite scary stories, and I’ve used this for MANY killer/hunter ocs! It’s so cool the way you tell it! It really adds atmosphere!!!
I LOVE this! It's such a cool and creepy story!!!! If you can, maybe you can do more of these on your channel or even your second channel. Even if it's not animated, I love hearing your voice. The tone of it really made the story that much better!!!!!!!
I love how she’s still following the tree house setting her art and backgrounds are always so fun

“Besides, you don’t want my soul. It’s really small. I don’t use it much. I doubt it even works anymore.” ~Rick Riordan
Uncle Rick is an icon to aspire to
Iconic 😌
the ending when she says "stupid storm, man there's broken glass everywhere. Now I gotta go get a broom too." added the perfect dash of humor to the spooky mood 🤌
Ikr?! But did you see she was being followed by a silhouette right as she finished those lines 😱
@@BettimusFrostCafe SAME I SAW THAT TOO
Wind came when that happend
When a second shadow followed behind her 😅😅
@@BettimusFrostCafe OH-
Becca your content is chefs kiss, there timing is just right and I’m upsessed with drawing. And your drawings are sweet like any story, keep doing what you love

No joke, the power suddenly going out at the end made me jump. And the spooky shadow at the end was the icing on the cake 😱
What spooky shadow at the end?
@@williamwhere1603 turn ur brightness up if u cant see it
@@williamwhere1603 After Becca's shadow exits the room, & even fainter shadow passes by the pumpkin lights.
@@williamwhere1603 the shadow of the musician can be seen after becca walks off screen
same o_o
I remember in Ross Scott's Ross's Game Dungeon: Go to Hell episode he told a story where he and a buddy made soul contracts where they saw how many people where willing to sell their soul for a candy bar. It's was quite a lot. With one guy going "Sure I'm hungry".
Trust me, Satan wouldn't need much to take peoples' soul.
Most people our age (including me) don't beleive in souls or hell or anything, so yeah free food.
It would be different if the devil actually appeared to make this deal, however in this senario say no, BUY A CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM and seek medical help.
@@thehoodiewitharudy9020 I believe in souls but not an after life.
I don’t mean this in a offensive way I’m just curious then what happens to your soul when you die ?
Okay guys calm down, this just a joke.
@@beelinespasm6822 The most common belief is that you (your soul) go to either heaven or hell when you die. Like, your good vs bad actions are judged (or you believe God intervened with Jesus Christ to save us because none of us are good enough to go to heaven) and you get sent somewhere.
This is just my biased religious opinion though XD, and there's a lot of other things people believe you can find on the internet without any definite answer.
Hell yeah spooky stories! I really hope you do more in the future
This is one of my favorite videos to watch every, and I still watch it even though Halloween is over.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful yet spoopy glow on the entire treehouse. Truly magnificent.
P. S awesome story I was truly spooped
Welp Rebecca now has lore.
I like where this is going.
😎😎😎ua-cam.com/video/KQDjfjRtMsM/v-deo.html
Fun fact: Rebecca goes around America in a red dress carrying a 🔪 and taking innocent little American children to her treehouse to become her pumpkins in that treehouse
@@rachael5099 hey STOP PROMOTING THAT CHANNEL!!!
But hey thats just a theory
@@badbel9426 a Film Theory !!!!!
Your videos are so atmospheric and I’m living for it-
You're really good at telling scary spooky stories like this
"When will you learn that they are your legacy?! We are your legacy!"
Sorry, couldn't think of anything else besides that in the story you told.
WAIT YESSSSSS
If you thought you were
M I N E
D O N T!
Omg hamifam yes
Hamilsquad we here!!!!
Rebecca’s “oh!!” at the end was so genuine
Yup it implied that she was the girl who ran away from her dad so the story she told was her own father’s
Yes
So her dad selled his soul and wanted fame for Becca and him but then he ended up deciding to kill her after his deal with the Devil went wrong and Becca running away and not remembering writing the note in the tree house because maybe it was her past life who ran away from the dad so adult Becca could find it but didn't know her past life self was being haunted by her dads ghost and now us haunting Becca?
Word vomited there.😅
I love how you tell these stories
I've been watching Rebecca for years, and she's always made a good video so this is just another good video
As much as I am in love with becca’s animation, can we take a moment to acknowledge her voice acting? OOOOOO MAN I got chills at the end 👏👏👏
Aww, shucks! Thanks! ^_^
Let Me Explain Studios I love u!
@@LetMeExplainStudios nice work
Gotta say your merch advertisment at the beginning was wonderful! You looked amazing in it. Might have to get on myself
Who thinks that Rebecca should make a book of her spooky stories? I’d buy it.
Yes. Yes
Beluga you sussy baka
And I buy it too and read it to night a
I mean it's not really original. The premise is about Faust. Nice story though.
Same
That Shadow at the end, gave me the chills great story.5:35
Thank you so much for including the strobe warning! I wish more people would do that - so important for your seizure-prone viewers :)
That was SO good . Rebecca's voice is perfect for spooky story telling . We want MORE !
I correct, YOU want more
@@GreenPoint_one well u may be right , but i am also talking for the people who want more ✨🤷✨
@@noteglitch5032 if ur lucky She will make a vote on yt how many wanna see it and how .any dont
@@GreenPoint_one maybe ! I hope so
It's the twisting of goods into evils that always makes stories like this, where the Devil's involved, hit all the more harder. The thing a parent should want most for their children is to see them prosper and succeed. But, without a soul, there is no love. Only selfishness and greed that overwhelm and consume.
Now where's my slice of pie!?
I hope I never find a Creeper dangling from my balcony. Can you imagine hearing a spider hissing outside your door only to look down over the side and see a giant Pete Moss monster getting ready to explode in your face. No thank you.
I don't ....I don't think it means that kind of creeper
Me: _opens door_
Creeper: Hello th--
Me: *_SLAMS DOOR_*
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 😜
@@aloevera3317 AW MAN
I see you’re a fellow Game Theory watcher, and know that Creepers are sentient plants.
The musician waking behind you was so cool and scary
I like how your speaking like we are there. it is a very interesting start to the video, which i think is unique, and cool. keep up the great work! :D
Honestly, I would be like "Dude, wtf! Even if it didn't turn out as you wanted, at least you're daughter will be known and remembered. I'd be proud of my daughter's success, and still love her."
That would ruin the whole point of the story, he was so greedy and selfish that he could not stand someone else taking the spotlight.
Not to mention, if getting his soul back is via murder, it's going right back when he dies.
I mean, his soul WAS taken
I think the deal had a toll on his morals, that or his soul is being contorted remotely to mess with him
Well I mean he didn't have a soul soo
This girl was talented and a beautiful singer, just like Becca.
She ran away from the world to live in a place where she couldn’t be found, just like Becca’s tree house.
And of course, at the beginning of the video, Becca says
“Oh, it’s you! I thought it was… something else.”
She also mentioned that she feels like something is following her when she goes out in the woods…
I’m just sayin-
Oh my gosh your right!
Holy shit
Damnnn smart
LORE
So. Right
Hey Rebbeca I am a big fan and I just want to say well done. Youre videos are great and you make my day every time I watch your videos.
That was amazing! Beautiful work! ♥️😁
the first half of that story was basically the legend of Paganini, the devil's violinist (supposedly traded his soul for insane virtuosity and composed some of the hardest pieces of all time)
Makes me wonder how many variations of the "musician or artist sells his soul to Satan or an entity" story that seem to span out across cultures. Some parts of the US has variations where muscians sell their souls at crossroads, and I think some trickster gods/archetypes sometimes do similar deals (except it's not always for someone's soul, sometimes it's just a wager or something).
I looked up this Paganini and found he has the same first name as Machiavelli.
@@Scarshadow666 Lets see. There's how the Devils trill was composed, the rumors about Robert Johnson...
I remember Rebecca just starting off with her UA-cam channel and now she already has so many people enjoying her videos. Great work
Dude, you got storytelling magic! This story was riveting.
Becca this was a great spooky story. I loved it got me in the spooky mood! 👻🥰
Loved the second pair of footsteps after Becca says "I've gotta get a broom..."
5:37
You can see the ghost go past the pumpkins
I've seen no one talk abt this
Yep you can see a shadow too
Yup like Rebbeca says "It's just the wind"
Me to!
Frankly selling your soul has always been an interesting concept to me-
Another thing is- Becca is really relatable? I love her personality-
My day gets better everytime I see her post, and is one of the only animation UA-camrs who isn’t afraid to show blood at times.
Tip: Watch the pumpkins at the end of the video. There is a *fog* going over it.
Body yes soul no
Oh you can sell both..I just really don't recommend iy
Yeah :D
ua-cam.com/video/w84hhVYXDuY/v-deo.html
XDXD
Well now we have a full animation on it! Yay!
You are a great storyteller who cannot be replaced by anyone.
ah, feels like it was only yesterday she made this video. also, happy early halloween, becca! i personally am OBSESSED with it, so i already decorated my room in late june.
"One night, the musician sought the counsel of Satan himself..."
Yes, an absolutely fool-proof decision. No way this can go south.
Pffffft Ikr
tbh whenever someone makes a deal with satan it teaches millions important life lessons is satan really the good guy(oh yea uh the _way_ he teaches is terrible but the lessons are pretty good)
@@arcticlegend8159 well I mean, no
Yeah why not try to seek out like, an angel or something? Why Satan? Why Satan FIRST?
@@laughsingay because Satan pays his taxes
Plot Twist: Rebecca IS the little girl. That would be pretty cool.
All jokes aside, I'm loving this spooky and creepy story Vibe, keep it up
That’s what I thought too haha
Don’t blow her cover 😂
She can’t dance
O YEA COS SHE CAN SING AND STUFF
It would make sense as at the start she said she thought we were ‘someone else’
The vibe of this story is so Nostalgic I’m loving it 😍
You are my very favorite UA-camr and I aspire to be like you. Keep up the good work!
"I've been hearing things."
Hm, wonder why. *remembers the note*
LORE!!!
What note?
The note I was talking about was the note from the tree house tour.
Whoever drew the backgrounds really did an amazing job :) the paintery style is so refreshing to see and I really enjoyed watching the video even more :D
She drew it😁
Thank you! E Griswold is the artist responsible for the backgrounds! They are so frickin' talented!
@@LetMeExplainStudios Well props to Griswold on doing an amazing job on that! And I love the paper-like, silhouette style of the story- it is so aesthetically cool.
Love the story 💕 She is always so creative with her vids.
That's an AWSOMELY creepy story. I got chills. They're multiplying.
There's just something so magical about Becca's animation. So simple but so fun! I love it! The stories also just add to the silliness.

Remember kids
“don’t deal with the devil”
”…or the animator”
Sure thing, mugman
well that's what that Ketel man said
Thank God people like cuphead
OK so I was watching this video the same time I was watching the Cuphead show
Oh and also I might be here for a while I might as well just do some role-playing
Phasmophobia Font! It’s a really cool one and fits a spooky vibe very well!
This was really good. Rebecca, you're a great storyteller.
I like how SATAN is being more moral even before the man lost his soul. He's like "Dude this might not go well."
Only because he knows that the man won't go back on it.
@@aloevera3317 not neccessarily, This portrayal satan has only been seen in this deal and has not been characterized as anything by reluctantly harmful.
eh not really. that whole "OH MAN this might not go well" it's just code for "dude you are gonna get FCKED and all of us are gonna laugh our asses off watching."
@@rickygoldsworth8394 It could easily just be him quietly going "no stop please don't" that one does when someone is being dumb.
I agree, Satan is a neutral guy , i heard in some mythologies he is even seen as a good guy to some degree. he offered the man a deal and warned him about it, so is he really a bad guy in this case?
Yay Rebecca managed to post in time for Haloween and it's everything I could've wished for. no but seriously you've improved in every aspect from art to storytelling, good job Rabecca and happy Halloween!
ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html….

Finally back
I expected this to be one of those videos about how people’s personalities change when they get famous
And ended up with a satisfying and compelling ghost story
I love that ending! Amazing and subtle, but not too subtle to miss.
I first watched this video from when I was sick, I'm rewatching it now for the 5th time and the lightning still gets me
YES! The Lady of Spooks has graced us with a Halloween story! I’ve been wanting one since the start of October! There has been a severe lack of Spookiness this month!

What can equal the value of a human soul?
@@superevilscientistgamer5939 I guess it depends how valuable you are as a person, a celebs soul could be worth much more than of someone who isnt well known, thats just my speculation tho
