Dude sees a whole demon on the floor in a summoning circle and says "I don't believe in this stuff " and just walks right through it.

I agree that nick probably couldn't hear the whispers due to his hearing loss thus was unaffected. The whispers were likely to draw in people since the other guy seemed to sense something when he entered the unit with nick later

I love how the ‘demon’ looks more like a Lovecraftian entity from another dimension than that of the usual trope design.

10:12 I love how Agatha confidently lies to Nick's face, as she states that books are not her province. All the while she is surrounded by shelves and shelves stacked full with thousands of books. But his eyes were only on the price. I think that's a really neat little detail. I really liked this episode a lot.

I understood Mrs Amelia hanging around the locker on that night as her wanting to break in and get her things - but she can't, cause Nick is there. Which places her conveniently at the site to deliver some Karma;]

AAAAND the dumbest move in cinematic horror history goes to Nick for walking straight through a demonic circle while there's plenty of room to walk around it

I found how unphased Nick was by the demon in the circle unbelievable. I totally checked out when he nonchalantly just walked by it. Even if he didn’t see the tentacles and only saw a rotting, faceless corpse in a demonic summoning circle, the fact that he didn’t even react was so dumb to me. I just couldn’t take this episode seriously at that point

This was by far my Favorite episode of the series. I would have loved for it to be longer and for them to expound on everything in deeper detail.

Yes fellow Lord, you are correct - the table was made with blood mixed in. It's how the old occultist knows that it is authentic and has the power imbued within to do real conjurings.

The three book names are a mix of latin and greek. the latin part: "liber primus/secunda/tertius" = "first/second/third Book" the greek part: "Daemonia" from "δαίμονες" = "Demons" "Symvolia" from "σύμβολα" = "Symbols" not sure about "Perilipsi". But it sounds like "Περίληψη" which means "Summary". Maybe they made a typo when putting the English words into the translation program and typed "summary" instead of "summoning" lol

I think the third book is about protection, not life. Vit is the prefix used in words associated with life, like vitae. Para, is usually associated with defense or readiness. Sounds like it’s about how to protect or ward yourself against demons/evil possibly.

I would guess that it's not 2003 but rather 1991. The president on his TV is George Bush Sr and he's talking about the first desert storm invasion of the middle east. The exact date is a bit blurry but on the bottom of the TV it says what looks to be 01-16-1991 which would be the time of the gulf war almost being over in February 1991

I like how in Watchmen, Nelson's character uses a similar storage locker/garage box as a low-budget Batcave to switch cars and change into his mask.

I really liked this episode as well. I would've liked a hair more explanation. Plus, it made me really want to know more of the back story. I get less is more sometimes but with this one, I'd like more lol. And I'm down if you do other episodes.

When I started watching this I was like “Damnit Guillermo, you got me interested in something again when I’m supposed to be doing something else.”

As far as the candelabra is concerned; “collected from a very particular source a little bit at a time.” I’m almost certain this is probably implying gold teeth harvested from jewish captives sent to concentration camps.

I think Nick, smirking, shows Miss Amelia the broken lock, saying it was all that was left. He drops it in her hand and swaggers off screen, but later the audience sees the lock on the door Nick was trying to escape from would have worked much better.

I don't think he had the demon in Germany because the newspapers are all American papers talking about the sister disappearing.

So, here's some creepy coincidence for folks (trust me, it ties in to Lot 36) : the actor portraying Roland (Sebastian Roché) also starred alongside Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga (whom he was once married to) in the T.V. Series ROAR, portraying the Roman Centurion (Gaius Cassius Longinus) who pierced Jesus with a spear and was cursed with immortality until the Final Judgement. Believing that the Spear (long since lost to him) is the only weapon with the power to end his life (because it was powerful enough to kill a god, after all), he eventually tracks it down hidden somewhere in Ireland. In the episode "Spear of Destiny", he finds it, and though it is shown to give the one in possession of it the ability to bring death or life into the world depending on the individual, he finds that the Spear ultimately still answers to the Will of the one who cursed him and Longinus is not allowed release from his debt. Do you know who else fervently searched for Longinus' Spear (aka The Spear of Destiny)? Adolf H*tler. In fact there is a book by the metaphysical historian, Trevor Ravenscroft, titled "The Spear of Destiny" which I highly recommend that details H*tler's obsession with the occult and postulates that his rise to power has everything to do with him having acquired the Spear of Destiny and his downfall was the result of him losing possession of the Spear. For even more weird, here's a bonus: Sebastian Roché also portrayed the angel Balthazar on the T.V. Series SUPERNATURAL and the character had The Spear of Destiny in his arsenal of Heavenly weaponry. In the Christian tradition, Balthazar (magus aka King of Macedonia) wasn't an angel, but one of the three magi who gave gifts to an infant Jesus. Balthazar is the Patron Saint of **drum roll please** GERMANY. 😉 P.S. the symbolism of the rabbit/hare is quite rich and can be found as far back as the first human civilization in ancient Mesopotamia. It's most common symbolism is in relation to the Underworld, death, and fertility. The constellation Lepus (Latin for hate/rabbit) is what comes to mind with this episode. In Jewish lore, he constellation Lepus was associated with "the sinner collection sticks on the Sabbath" and as "Cain being chased out of the garden of Eden" after murdering his brother. Honestly, the rabbit symbolism in the episode is likely drawing on numerous sources, but I believe Lilith is the main inspiration behind the demon.

From "Curiosity kills cats" to "Greed bypasses curiosity can struck traps".

Does no one else think Roland was the one asked to summon the demon? It's clear that he is knowledgeable of the occult and even confesses to being far more familiar with the Wolmar family than he initially lells on. A purveyor is a dealer. If he's not the dealer of this deal, why burst into flames? This act is not random as Nick could have been instead the one to combust if the deal was only about A soul, not the purveyor's. 🔥🔥

The hopping might be a way of cloaking the entity. The cloak was lifted after the owner of lot 36 died. So, when Nick entered the locker he immediately noticed that the size was unusual, as he mentioned he knew the sizes of the lockers.

The small animal getting butchered in the beginning is a cat by the look of the skull. Personally the demon kind of reminded me more of Shub-Niggurath since it tend to be depicted as a mass of tentacles attached to some legs, while Cthulhu is more like a humanoid with a octopus head like Davy Jones in Pirates Of The Caribbean. Really liked this episode but the whole series is just a stroke of genius!^^

this was one of the best episodes of the series

I don't think Roland was Dottie's lover or was connected to the Wolmar's in any sort of way. Whenever he looked at Dottie's pictures or anything concerning the Wolmars, his expression was more of fascination than longing. Plus, when he finally saw Dottie, he called her by her name, not by endearment which lovers very commonly do. I think he really was just very fascinated with the occult just from the way he admired the seance tables, the books, the candelabra, the crosses along the way, and especially the demon. Plus, since he was obviously german like the Wolmars, he probably was obsessed about their story back when he was younger and that's why he knew alot about them. He very clearly stated he knew alot about them, not "I knew Mr. Wolmar and Ms. Dottie" specifically.

You're so good at this. Thanks for the content. Beautiful editing

Hey Cogan, I just remembered I good and underrated/not well known series you could explore for monsters. I can't remember how long it was on but I believe it was a History Channel original series called: "The Librarian." It had Noah Wylde? I believe as the protagonist and the show focused on finding occult artifact like the Holy Grail. I believe I vaguely remember him fighting a vampire in an episode as well.

The three hops are a signification of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost.

I thought Storage Wars was a boring show, but in this season they've really found something cool.

I guess that the rabbit feeding and the hopping was some kind of portrayal of "innocence", since rabbits are commonly associated with it, and the vessel being a woman, Dottie, possibly a virgin, could also be a sign of "innocence" too, since there was a picture of a demon bleeding a child, the feeding on innocence and "darkness" must be what maintain the demon alive.

just here to say that it's great seeing Tim Nelson getting more work. he's been a favorite of mine since Oh Brother

Roland was Dottie's husband and had been searching for her, he escaped from being the payment forthe demon when the demon was summoned thereby betraying the demon trapping it in this world.Her brother wanted her for himself and when she married Roland he offered her to the demon and Roland as the payment in his rage. That's why the book burst into flames when Roland was taken. That's why when describing the man Roland spoke of him in such hatred and inside the unit and hallway he keeps saying where are you Dottie. Everyone wonders why he lived in squalor if he controlled a demon and it's because he desired sins of the flesh his sister's flesh,and while bound the demon could take her shape and fill all of his desires.

You really took effort slowly going through this episode. Well done

Technically if he had helped the lady she would never had been there that night anyway since she wanted to get her stuff that morning. So he still would have been stuck in there since apparently someone needs to open the door from the outside.

Honestly why this was the opener of the series and it was the best one Like no other episode came close to how badass this one was.

It reminds me of Hastur the Yellow god from HPL

Great episode from you as well as the COC

I'm excited to see new episodes! del toro is a genius!

You know, if Roland really didn't want Nick to mess around, he could've just said "Hey if you touch anything, I'm not giving you the money." It would work, too, given Nicks greed. I've always wondered that.

Lot 36 Three six Three sixes? Might have passed on bidding for that lot...

This was a great story, it would have made an epic movie in itself, but, all of the unexplained things within allow the audience to draw their own conclusions about not only the story line but the people in the story too. I really like stories like these. Gets the brain working.

Love your reviews. You deserve more subs.😍

I think she was there to show how truly dark and miserable he was

Loved it!

imo this is the one that should be turned into a movie.

The noise the demon tentacles make🤢

Very good and thorough explanation!

I love your videos!!!!!! 😊

love your videos

Can you do The Autopsy as well, i think it's episode 2, it's a very good twist on the vampire mythology and right down your alley

Definitely one of my favourite episodes of the series. And I was wondering what that hair thing was

It is a great series. I really hope that they do another season.

I really like your channel, I've have investigated Vampires and Werewolves, and other cryptids, but I haven't done so much in media so its nice to have a different view of how things are. Since its unknown

Buster Scruggs gets into some wild shit.

Nick’s jacket says he’s a private and if he fought in a war and got out as a private, he clearly wasn’t a very good soldier.

so, before entering, he acts like a bunny, with the hopping, and feeds bunnies to the demon. maybe it's related. I can't figure out why he would do the same when he leaves though. or how he made the secret area to store the demon. but it's a good story from what I saw.

You should do the whole series (plz).

Netflix has not once ever brought this to my attention. seriously wtf. its been there since last year!

This was actually my favourite episode followed by the rat one

not super relevant, but quite certain it was a raccoon he was cutting up in the beginning (rabbits don't have canines)

Very odd that you leave out the parts of Nick's racism and the radio station he listens to. Pretty relevant to the story.

The whole point of this genre of horror is that it leaves you with tons of questions that will never be answered and that is part of it's beauty.

The hopping was how he got in and out of the room without breaking any of the circles trapping the demon.

Yeah, I want more of these videos.

The intro with Del Toro kinda reminds me of the old Spawn animated show.

I think the deal with the demon was to kill Roland and that's why the book burned when he got killed because that was the demons original deal

I think you got your George Bushes mixed up. That's Dad talking about Desert Storm. Timing still doesn't make a lot of sense; Nick's already back as a veteran? His tour of duty must've a few minutes

He was hopping, like a rabbit to feed it rabbits. The demon was looking/listening for whatever approached the door.

Fantastic. This series was great. I really liked pickman’s model

You know this was my favorite one and pannos 's the viewing was fantastic too

Del Toro is both a fan and friend of Stephen King, who helped make Creepshow and as this show is very much setup inspired by Creepshow,which also would be be still relevant as it was made in the mid 80s and this episode was set in 92, as the George bush speech from the start of Desert Storm. Sorry, I'm old this was my generations playground 😂😂. Great breakdown❤ new sub

I also think that the candle was a little clue once again to nazi germany. I can see it being holy objects being melted, however I also think it’s more sinister than that. Chances are the line “bit by bit” was in reference to POWs in concertation camps who had their gold teeth ripped out. Quite sad, but it lines up with the rest of the info in the episode

I think the candelabra was made by collecting gold from human blood, since there is trace amounts, and it would be collected in certain ways

The part I find a little odd is where he says the book would burn down completely with "the purveyor" of its favors. Shouldn't it be "the receiver"?

He was limbering up to hop the circle

4:38 reminds me of Tesla he walked around a building 3 times

There could be another more likely source for that gold: the fillings and jewelry stolen from the victims in the Concentration Camps.

I only clicked on this video to post this question: how on earth does this straight forward story need an explanation??!!

I really dislike how unfazed the dude was at the sight that could at least been the the place of a sacrifice of the potentially sister of the previous owner, dude went for the book like he seen that shit everyday.

You should do more videos on other movie tv and possibly book monsters

"The spear of destiny" is another book about all this. It's how I learned of Nazi occultism.

I really liked this episode.

@2:13 is definitely not a rabbit skull.

This was very interesting love horror fiction

One thing I didnt like about this episode is last few minutes. Especially when Nick and German guy enter the chamber with a demon. Nobody is that fucking stupid to just destroy the circle after seeing dead body occupied by tentacles on the face, because there is a book in the far corner or anything really. First of all, everyone would first shit their pants and run, or at least be careful enough not to disturb this creepy thing on the floor. That was dumb as fuck imo

this story is so lovecraftian

That Agatha lady looks like how the Agatha from the MCU shouldve looked like. 😂

24:28 I suspect Karma is very painful when you deliberately turn your back on someone. You have to always reach out with kindness and help each other. One should never twist their responsibility to help the poor and destitute with a twisted narrative that seeks to glorify their pain as if the poor and destitute deserved it. Don't let evil conquer you, Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you. Proverbs 25:21-22

i loved all epesodes

The 3rd one is my favorite

Wow that was so creepy!

love it

Just watched lot 36. It was really good.

That was good

Nick was told not to touch anything or speak but Ron did it anyway.

I think it was my favorite of all of them; I like 3 of them if I remember.

do you know if you'll do more form this series?

I don’t think the demon “ate” the main character. I think it took him as a new vessel since the last one was effectively dead/dying.

I'm not a big fun a horror movies but I like your explanation of horror movies.
