OK, so this is HP Lovecraft taking over a very very tangentially related Edgar Allan Poe poem:

Joseph Curwen being our buddy from Charles Dexter Ward.
Palace is in really good shape for 110 years of neglect. Almost like it was the next scene from when it was made.
LON JUNIOR! Surely nothing bad can happen now.
The townsfolk have themselves a pet!

I guess if everyone's the blind leadin' the blind, they don't mind the fog machine being on all the time. "Warlock?" "Yes, an 8th-Level Magic-User. They can't actually Animate Dead, that's a 5th-Level spell." "The Necronomicon supposedly could summon the Elder Gods. I'm gonna recite a bunch of Mythos stuff, even tho you don't know anything about it." This is very very proto-Dunwich Horror. Everyone's Curwen's buddy not antagonist. #monsterdon #hauntedPalace1963
