How do you like this idea Au for fic? H.H. Holmes didn't die, supernaturally, but everyone thinks otherwise. Du'met, son of H.H. Holmes, and as the crew sails to the island to film their show, Du'met spots Charles and falls in love. H.H. Holmes has been at the Lighthouse since Du'met took his place. Or he could control the traps in the center.
Sorry but I will not be writing about anything involving Holmes as a character, that's just something that would not set well with me personally.
I thought I should bring this up eventually since Holmes is indeed included in TDIM and I have seen posts about him.
To me, H.H. Holmes inclusion into TDIM is very fascinating to see and SMG cleary put some exaggerated aspects to things, but that happens in a lot of historical tellings. For me personally (again I state for me personally, I don't care if you think otherwise you are free to do that yourself and I won't be angry at anyone) I cannot see Holmes as anything but a real murderer in history. His inclusion in a video game does not make him suddenly fictional nor am I able to seperate the two versions. It doesn't matter to me that he may be different from the Holmes of history, he is still H.H Holmes.
Anyways so yeah sorry but I'm not going to write anything Holmes related, it's not something I'd be comfortable with. You are all free to do whatever you'd like though, so if you really want to make Holmes content I'm not going to stop you or comment something mean or cancel you or anything lol.
Could you post a screenshot or two of Holmes' face when he says "Don't fight it," while killing the wife at the beginning, please? I uh...I like that part, and his facial expression is just....*chef's kiss*
sure! :)
a little bonus of this moment with a different angle
I love that game because I feel it has more historical inspiration than the other games with H.H. Holmes. I usually prefer when Dark Picture Anthology goes a supernatural route with the killers but I did enjoy this game with a former rogue F.B.I agent being a serial killer resembling Holmes.
Okay, I've already posted this on Twitter. But I also want to post it here, because I thought it's funny. I'm sorry for the mistakes, if there are any, I'm not very good at English.
Episode 105: H.H. Holmes & The Murder Castle, Part II Photodump
Image 01: The tabloid exposure of H.H. Holmes’s trial meant that at his execution he was one of the most famous people alive. The execution of H.H. Holmes was such a popular event, tickets had to be purchased in advance to attend. The day of the execution, a crowd twice the size of ticketed attendees rushed the fence to witness the execution.
Image 02: Holmes famously represented himself in his murder trial and claimed he was only a fraud who collected life insurance on bodies that were already deceased. He claimed he was not a murderer and had been framed. Several of the jury believed him. Several of his ex wives testified that he was guilty; however, one of his wives believed he had been framed.
Image 03-04: After his conviction, Holmes changed his tune. He began confessing to anything and everything. He gave wild stories and quotes about turning into a devil. Holmes spoke to several tabloids and even released an auto-biography from jail. Holmes became a very wealthy man while awaiting his execution.
Image 05: While in jail, Holmes refused to admit where a body was buried without $50.00 compensation.
Image 06-07: Holmes was calm and collected before his execution. It was noted that he was “charming” as usual. The executioner was nervous and Holmes told him to “take his time.”
Image 08: After Holmes’s death, strange things happened to people who were involved in his trial. The warden of the prison committed suicide. The District Attorney’s office burned down. The remaining Castle attraction burned down. The person who led to Holmes’s arrest was shot by a police officer. The janitor who knew of most of Holmes’s crimes killed himself. There is reason to believe Holmes used money from confessions to buy his way out of jail. Some say it was not Holmes who died at the gallows, but a plant! Diaries attributed to Holmes claim that Holmes fled to London and became Jack the Ripper.
Image 09: The site of the famous Murder Castle is now the site of a U.S. Post Office. That’s why we use Haunted Mail.
What do you guys think? Did he scam us one last time?
