- 0:34shift and the cabin fever is real but
- 0:37what can you do with it all pent up it
- 0:40leaks over into your sleep it gets in
- 0:42your dreams and the result is always
- 0:44interesting in the morning
- 0:46so in that spirit I decided we're
- 0:49kicking off with a new creation I really
- 0:51adore that took a lot of dedication and
- 0:53I think it will take you back to a much
- 0:55happier time in a much happier place
- 0:58filled with delightful new friends but
- 1:01before we enter this neighborhood I've
- 1:03got to share that lately I've been
- 1:05getting more acquainted with my own and
- 1:06to tell you why I need a little help
- 1:08from tonight's sponsor our friends at
- 1:10raycon
- 1:12you know what isn't awesome living in a
- 1:14place where Winter does get cold and
- 1:16suddenly something critical breaks in
- 1:17one of your tires and the repair shops
- 1:19around you are kind of slammed so now
- 1:21you're just effectively without a car
- 1:22for a while and because you're still in
- 1:24walking distance of locations to help
- 1:25you keep eating and maintaining daily
- 1:26life you don't have an excuse not to put
- 1:28on a jacket zip it up and get moving and
- 1:30no you're not going to just wait and pay
- 1:32for ride shares you know what it is
- 1:34awesome though reaching into that jacket
- 1:36pocket and knowing your raycon everyday
- 1:38earbuds are right there and a single
- 1:40full charge alone is going to get you
- 1:41through multiple trips outside whether
- 1:43you enjoy listening through a pair of
- 1:44everyday earbuds low latency headphones
- 1:46or a speaker with a battery to last you
- 1:48through whatever unexpected repair drops
- 1:50hit you retcon has you covered with a
- 1:52rich audio starting at half the price of
- 1:54other premium audio Brands I've been
- 1:56using everyday earbuds for years but in
- 1:58this period in life just knowing I have
- 2:00them and that they're going to pair up
- 2:02so easily and provide me with the music
- 2:03the moment they're in my ears makes
- 2:05walking a lot more paraple the deep bass
- 2:07is perfect for my kind of music because
- 2:09I need it to be loud and strong and
- 2:11distract me for from the boredom and the
- 2:13temperature as I Trek to my destination
- 2:14and because the carrying case is also
- 2:17the charging device I know they're safe
- 2:18and ready to go for next time raycon's
- 2:21everyday earbuds have eight hours of
- 2:22continuous play time and I won't pretend
- 2:24I haven't been dependent on that lately
- 2:25by the way the ease of pausing just by
- 2:28tapping the side of an earbud has been
- 2:30critical because you don't know the
- 2:32moments exactly when you're out on the
- 2:33street or in a store that you'll just

- 3:28it to you raw well this video is for you
- 3:32I can't precisely remember how I first
- 3:34found out about welcome home and in
- 3:36accordance with the nature of the
- 3:37project I prefer that way what I will
- 3:39say is that there is no better
- 3:41introduction to the experience than its
- 3:43landing page
- 3:47hello neighbor come in
- 3:51it's a cute way to start isn't it just
- 3:54the way that the text hangs there for a
- 3:56second and then the rest of it floats on
- 3:58and it's very inviting
- 4:01so of course we click we come in and
- 4:04everything sets up very nicely very
- 4:07animated very friendly very delightful
- 4:11welcome home
- 4:13with a hop skip and a jump you were
- 4:15ushered into the colorful serendipitous
- 4:17world of Welcome Home it only takes one
- 4:20stroll down the neighborhood to know
- 4:21this is just the nicest little place
- 4:22you've ever seen
- 4:24watch Wally in his colorful array of
- 4:26friendly neighbors learn about the
- 4:27vibrant world around them and take part
- 4:29in nonsensical fun
- 4:32underneath we get a little bit more
- 4:33clarification welcome to the welcome
- 4:36home website feel free to explore our
- 4:38humble homepage and learn more about a
- 4:40puppet show now lost through security
- 4:42thank you for visiting
- 4:44so it's a puppet show and as you can see
- 4:46taking a look at it it seems very very
- 4:5070s TV inspired it's very obvious to
- 4:53know what the name brand uh it is most
- 4:57like is of course when it comes to
- 5:00puppets but they all seem to have
- 5:04distinct personality from them even if
- 5:06you can see the inspiration quite
- 5:08clearly and I really love that that's
- 5:11one of the immediate points that I can
- 5:13give you to observe of inspiration over
- 5:16imitation here
- 5:18so we know that it is a puppet show Lost
- 5:21to obscurity
- 5:23what's welcome home
- 5:26critically praised and financially
- 5:27successful welcome home dominated it's
- 5:30Saturday morning time slot with its
- 5:32colorful cast of Puppets entertaining
- 5:34and addictive stories and Lively sets
- 5:36unlike anything seen before surely a
- 5:39spectacle for audiences of all ages
- 5:41welcome home was an American children's
- 5:43television program created and produced
- 5:45by the play fellow Workshop which served
- 5:48as the Studio's only production
- 5:50okay Horror Story hints number one
- 5:54supposedly its first episode aired on
- 5:56October 11th 1969 horror hint number two
- 5:59started in October and was broadcast
- 6:02onto an unknown Channel until its last
- 6:04estimated air date sometime in 1974. so
- 6:07it did run for a few years at least
- 6:11you can see immediately these beautiful
- 6:13illustrations that are coming through
- 6:15welcome home primarily focus on the
- 6:17neighbors the show's inhabitants who
- 6:19were accompanied by a mixture of
- 6:21animated breaks and Illustrated
- 6:22storybook segments the setting itself
- 6:24was a colorful and exaggeratedly
- 6:26designed town named home with unique
- 6:29elements like a post office and a bodega
- 6:31as well as brightly colored creatures
- 6:32that lived within It episodes usually
- 6:35began with Wally introducing the focus
- 6:37or theme for the day before coming
- 6:38across other characters who would join
- 6:39him on his excutes until the end of the
- 6:41day which would signify the end of the
- 6:43show the end of the day okay that's the
- 6:46end of the show hmm so there might be a
- 6:49hint there that they never actually
- 6:51experienced night time all of the
- 6:54characters had notable recurring
- 6:55segments that were sprinkled throughout
- 6:56the entirety of the show's run such as
- 6:58Eddie dear creating arts and crafts
- 7:00Sally Starlet performing plays or Wally
- 7:03darling painting a picture with the help
- 7:05of other members of the cast The viewer
- 7:07was often regarded as an additional
- 7:09neighbor with Wally speaking to them on
- 7:11a regular basis and now you'll notice
- 7:13right away we have an anomaly
- 7:18why is this W so out of line with
- 7:20everything else
- 7:21you can see the original W is there but
- 7:25this one is fading there seems to be an
- 7:28inherent error on the page
- 7:30underneath this of course we have a
- 7:32slider and right away just immediately
- 7:35you can see the dedication to this
- 7:37project this strikes me so immediately
- 7:41this ad this retro ad that is mocked up
- 7:45just right that contains elements of
- 7:49Photography model work illustration
- 7:52paper cutouts and puppetry
- 7:57all in one all in one that is extremely
- 8:02impressive and the slide goes on as you
- 8:05can see underneath here it says restored
- 8:07remnants and reproduced pieces
- 8:10so these would be a lot of character
- 8:12interactions
- 8:14oh I'll be right back screen leading off
- 8:17to a commercial break okay
- 8:26Al one of the tie-in products a
- 8:28storybook and again just note the
- 8:32quality here the dedication that it took
- 8:34to produce this physical page with these
- 8:37illustrations get a puppet hand and then
- 8:41actually take the photo
- 8:50all these Valentine's cards like a lot
- 8:53of cartoons used to do
- 8:58oh even a Halloween special you know I
- 9:01gotta give some love to that
- 9:05okay that's actually vaguely
- 9:08you know what I'm feeling from that
- 9:10that's more leaning into our usual
- 9:12expectations
- 9:16of course this is a gift here that
- 9:17somebody's put together and
- 9:19so this character I believe Wally
- 9:23sleeping on a cake this just keeps going
- 9:25on and on
- 9:26which is incredible to me they did not
- 9:29create the Creator here they did not
- 9:31make just a few elements in order to try
- 9:34and convince you they just kept making
- 9:36things and put them together
- 9:39in this gallery
- 9:42just keeps going on
- 9:43[Music]
- 9:59oh Wally's house home
- 10:03blue
- 10:06okay so it seems to be a few different
- 10:08takes on it but two of these takes
- 10:12it seems as if the house is crying
- 10:17[Music]
- 10:29it's remarkable alone in a project like
- 10:32this just to see
- 10:34all the effort that went into creating
- 10:37what seem like different stages of
- 10:39production
- 10:41in the studio offices
- 10:45because this would be say kind of an
- 10:47expression sheet
- 10:48[Music]
- 10:53there's a lot of signatures here
- 10:55you might have noticed
- 10:58lower corner
- 11:09and it just keeps going on oh finally we
- 11:14hit an end
- 11:16but look at it all it's it's remarkable
- 11:18isn't it
- 11:20welcome home is believed to have had a
- 11:22four-year run upon further research
- 11:24before both its abrupt poll from
- 11:25television in 1974 and complete silence
- 11:28from its Entertainment Company the
- 11:30playfellow workshop welcome home success
- 11:33seemed to be set in stone and miss other
- 11:35television programs for a teacher
- 11:36Artistry captivating stories remarkable
- 11:39puppetry and Lively characters
- 11:41however all footage is presumably lost
- 11:44including supposed merchandise
- 11:46advertisements vinyl records and
- 11:48Illustrated books depicted in the
- 11:50episodes however what has been revealed
- 11:53has driven us to uncover its whereabouts
- 11:56and this is where it starts to get into
- 11:58our turf read more about our journey and
- 12:01how we are uncovering this long
- 12:02forgotten puppet show and our mission at
- 12:04the welcome home restoration project
- 12:05about us page we'd love to wouldn't we
- 12:09okay and again notice this the O is
- 12:12floating out of place
- 12:14and there is an existing o behind it
- 12:17so we have a w and we have an O who seem
- 12:19to be very purposeful when I originally
- 12:21found this project after somebody tossed
- 12:23me the lead when I took a look through
- 12:25it I noticed right off the bat that
- 12:28there are certain letters that are
- 12:29floating around and kind of glitched out
- 12:31my thought is that these are going to be
- 12:34needed for something
- 12:36maybe a password page maybe a link I've
- 12:40tried it a few times but maybe during
- 12:43this round I can uncover more
- 12:45the welcome home restoration project is
- 12:47a team of anonymous individuals
- 12:48dedicated to compiling restoring And
- 12:50archiving what few remnants of Welcome
- 12:52Home has been uncovered it is through
- 12:55these Collective efforts that we will
- 12:56awaken the memory of this last piece of
- 12:58media we strive to establish a friendly
- 13:00and open community of friends family and
- 13:02fans just like the colorful and quaint
- 13:04Neighbors in our beloved home love is
- 13:07clear in the messages of Wally darling
- 13:08and is as much of a Hallmark to him as
- 13:10his charismatic smile his cheery
- 13:12disposition and his eagerness to
- 13:14understand the world around him we too
- 13:16hope to spread this feeling of
- 13:18everlasting Joy caring understanding and
- 13:21acceptance to all in the hopes that you
- 13:22will join us in our thorough exploration
- 13:25Together We Will Make this House a Home
- 13:28visitors May wonder how we came to
- 13:30uncover such a show Yes actually where
- 13:33we obtain these works and the efforts
- 13:35taken to restore them to the best of our
- 13:36ability to that we are happy to open our
- 13:39front door to you neighbor
- 13:41FAQ who are you
- 13:43for personal reason our small Collective
- 13:45at the whrp team have agreed upon
- 13:48staying Anonymous for our own security
- 13:50and safety how did you begin your
- 13:53research to be honest we were drawn in
- 13:55unexpectedly all the information found
- 13:57on this website was extracted from
- 13:59documents that have been uncovered in
- 14:01brightly colored envelopes we are
- 14:03thankful to be the first to jump start
- 14:05this journey what do the illustrations
- 14:08writings and advertisements look like
- 14:09when you receive them
- 14:11all the paper materials tucked away
- 14:13inside the envelopes we have received
- 14:14are usually crowned together and covered
- 14:16in paint and ink despite these
- 14:18volunteers have both restored and
- 14:19recreated most of what was found on the
- 14:21documents below is an example of our
- 14:23work as we extract information from the
- 14:25original document and translate it into
- 14:26a digital state
- 14:27that is a hell of a Recovery Act isn't
- 14:30it but also the original piece in its
- 14:34destroyed States
- 14:35immediately you know you have alarm
- 14:38Bells going off of why did somebody try
- 14:41to destroy this
- 14:42[Music]
- 14:44our volunteers have also produced
- 14:46speculative pieces from the information
- 14:48gathered such as Frank's spinning head
- 14:50Eddie's removable hat and the heart
- 14:52marks on the bottom of Wally's shoes we
- 14:55hope more fan interpretations will be
- 14:56able to arise just like this
- 14:58[Music]
- 14:59why did you make this website
- 15:02um that's uh
- 15:04so the question seems to be doubled over
- 15:07but the answer is in turmoil
- 15:11let's see the original
- 15:13I hoped that this website would grab the
- 15:17attention of someone who has seen the
- 15:19show before and could tell us more about
- 15:22it if this wasn't possible then we
- 15:24wanted to be the first to Showcase this
- 15:26last piece of media to help spur on the
- 15:27research for its existence
- 15:29many of our guestbook signatures have
- 15:32talked about seeing this show before so
- 15:34this is a good sign it means it is
- 15:37inside of you too then
- 15:39and the other text
- 15:41when I unwrapped the first letter I felt
- 15:44it I heard it open open open open
- 15:47I wanted out I'm going to get it out
- 15:55yeah there it is
- 15:58you know I love this kind of approach
- 16:02then there might be a hidden text too
- 16:05so we'll check for that what kind of
- 16:07merchandise did Welcome Home have it's
- 16:09only speculation but from what we've
- 16:11counted there's a possibility that there
- 16:12are vinyl records children's toys
- 16:14plethora of other merchandise that could
- 16:16be ordered through various magazines
- 16:18someone thinks there are patterns that
- 16:19make your own Barnaby do you know how
- 16:22many episodes of welcome home there are
- 16:23unfortunately no we've yet to receive
- 16:26footage from the show nor a full catalog
- 16:27of all the episodes we've estimated the
- 16:30last air date for the show was in 74 but
- 16:32only because it is the most recent date
- 16:34listed on a script hmm
- 16:38do you know anyone who worked at the
- 16:40playfilla workshop or are you a former
- 16:42employee now and I am not affiliated
- 16:44with the company but we know of Ronald
- 16:46dorlain he must be the Creator we will
- 16:49find the other names too
- 16:51aren't we able to join your team at the
- 16:54moment we're not accepting new members
- 16:55who is your favorite resident
- 16:57everyone on our team has their favorite
- 16:59but if you ask me mine is Wally darling
- 17:01he is the most as he would say
- 17:05let's go to the neighborhood
- 17:11home is where the heart is and welcome
- 17:13home's residents are the heart of the
- 17:14neighborhood even if you don't live
- 17:16there you're still one of its most
- 17:18important denizens but don't worry with
- 17:20the help of this colorful array of
- 17:22neighbors it'll feel just like home in
- 17:23no time at all
- 17:25I did find out about something
- 17:27just clicking around originally
- 17:31oh
- 17:32we have another piece look down here
- 17:39please note this information is pulled
- 17:40from remnants found in Illustrated pages
- 17:42in Old merchandise information is
- 17:44subject to change and expand upon
- 17:45discovering new findings so we have a w
- 17:48and O and an X
- 17:52you can see that the House's eyes are
- 17:54moving which is adorable but there's a
- 17:56hidden element here
- 17:57if you hover over your
- 18:01you get you
- 18:04[Music]
- 18:08so even you have a page here
- 18:18when this text is finished typing it
- 18:20says Wally is your best friend
- 18:24and that's it that's it for you that's
- 18:26all the information that it has about
- 18:28you
- 18:29[Music]
- 18:35there's nothing else that you can get
- 18:37Ctrl a just selects the background
- 18:41so now we have to go back
- 18:43hmm
- 18:45so let's explore the neighborhood
- 18:48let's do clockwise and then shoot for
- 18:50Center xiaomi
- 18:53Julie undoubtedly the cheeriest
- 18:56neighborhood puppet could ask for Julie
- 18:58joyful is welcome home's happiest
- 18:59resident amid such a rainbow of brightly
- 19:01colored neighbors that's really saying
- 19:03something upbeat silly and always ready
- 19:05to play with her friends there's never a
- 19:06boring day and welcome home while she's
- 19:08around she's Frank's best friend
- 19:11now obviously we could go through all of
- 19:14these bit for bit piece for peace
- 19:16but let's be honest we're looking for
- 19:20Secrets a lot of this would be hardcore
- 19:23TV show lore which is great in order to
- 19:26actually understand the concept and the
- 19:28characters but we like to get to the
- 19:31bottom of things sooner rather than
- 19:33later
- 19:34so there's Julie
- 19:37Sally starlets
- 19:39according to an uncovered script Sally
- 19:42had once been the brightest star in the
- 19:44sky even more than those that surrounded
- 19:45her however looking down at a nearby
- 19:48Celestial body from her spot she knew
- 19:50there were still places she had yet to
- 19:51truly shine and fell from above as a
- 19:53shooting star
- 19:54concept artwork revealed that Sally was
- 19:56a live hand puppet but required an
- 19:58additional hand to help move her head as
- 20:00it was much larger than other puppets
- 20:03notice earlier what we established about
- 20:05the episode seeming to end whenever the
- 20:07day would end
- 20:09Sally has a night side on her door for
- 20:13her house but as a star
- 20:16she only seems to be in a sun shape her
- 20:21eye shadow does seem to indicate
- 20:22nighttime but so far there's not a lot
- 20:26of night that we are experiencing here
- 20:31Poppy
- 20:33yes she watched she made cookies of the
- 20:35other characters that's cute
- 20:37old scripts outlined poppy had lived
- 20:39with her family and a nest had been
- 20:41tucked away in a tree hollowed deep
- 20:42within the forest but that she would
- 20:43eventually outgrow to a staggering
- 20:45degree
- 20:46Eddie a male carrier who moved into home
- 20:49from a distant town in order to
- 20:51establish a post office
- 20:53Eddie had never stated the correct name
- 20:55of where he came from throughout the
- 20:57show's run the running joke often had
- 21:00him stating a place that did not exist
- 21:01followed by an admission to
- 21:03misremembering it as a place he
- 21:05delivered to as opposed to a place he
- 21:06lived I guess that could be a humor bet
- 21:10but it is kind of strange right
- 21:15howdy pillar
- 21:17all right that's cute a small time
- 21:20caterpillar who wanted to start his own
- 21:22business
- 21:23Audi's puppet was rotated between a live
- 21:26hand puppet and a walk-around puppet in
- 21:28order to keep him in frame with his
- 21:29fellow residents
- 21:36Barnaby B beagle
- 21:39Barnaby's puppet was rotated between a
- 21:41live hand puppet and a walk around
- 21:43typically to keep him in frame with his
- 21:45much shorter Neighbors
- 21:47Frank
- 21:49smartest neighbor and welcome home
- 21:51resident Bookworm with an expertise on
- 21:53butterflies
- 21:54puppet appeared with a fixed frown on
- 21:56its face but an illustrated material
- 21:59Frank often had more complex expressions
- 22:02Wally
- 22:04Wally darling the friendliest neighbor
- 22:06and welcome home perhaps even the best
- 22:08painter too we would smile like his it's
- 22:11hard to disagree always eager to make
- 22:13new friends and show them around the
- 22:14neighborhood while he's happy to lend a
- 22:16helping hand but you knew that already
- 22:19didn't you
- 22:21okay yeah now it's starting to get there
- 22:25his house is named home
- 22:28is regarded as the ninth neighbor but
- 22:32seemingly cannot speak as illustrations
- 22:34show home speaking only in onomatopoeias
- 22:36Creek squeak bang sources say however
- 22:40that this puppet's eyes could move
- 22:42through a hand crank on the other side
- 22:43of the prop facing away from the camera
- 22:45additionally it stores chimney and
- 22:48windows were supposedly very animated
- 22:49during episodes it is implied that home
- 22:52is the most Lively house within the
- 22:53neighborhood as none of the other houses
- 22:55seem to have eyes
- 22:57okay this is interesting notice now it's
- 23:01not go back for anything it's goodbye
- 23:11[Music]
- 23:13okay
- 23:17all right
- 23:20I'm excited because I finally did just
- 23:24find something I found something that I
- 23:26did not find before back when I was
- 23:27first exploring this and it only took me
- 23:30maybe two pages to design yes we're
- 23:33covering this we're exploring this but
- 23:35I've just found something here through
- 23:36the tap system whenever you're exploring
- 23:39a website that has potential hidden
- 23:41links use the tab button to scan through
- 23:45the page and it should highlight in
- 23:47squares anything that is not obvious
- 23:51so because I just did that I found
- 23:53something
- 23:55we're gonna come back to this we're
- 23:57gonna come back to this
- 23:58because now I'm excited and I think we
- 24:01just struck some some good fun reveals
- 24:05we're gonna get there but let's let's
- 24:07keep scanning through let's go to news
- 24:10so this was on February 25th
- 24:13we hope everyone in this Humble Home of
- 24:15ours has had a wonderful month Love is
- 24:17in the air so they say and we have
- 24:18managed to uncover additional cards from
- 24:20what we believe to be a previously sold
- 24:21package of welcome home Valentine's Day
- 24:23cards a few of these cards existed in
- 24:25our Gallery prior to this update such as
- 24:27Julie joyful Frank Frankly and Eddie
- 24:30dear but at the time of their
- 24:31restoration much the package found was
- 24:33soaking wet so uncovering the entire set
- 24:36had been a dilemma we assume it must be
- 24:38water damage however our restorers have
- 24:41managed to clean up Sally Starlet and
- 24:42howdy Pillar To What We believe to be
- 24:44their original Glory hot dog
- 24:47we've also updated our guest book so if
- 24:49you remember leaving us a kind message
- 24:50feel free to peruse the gallery of
- 24:52signatures

- 24:56[Music]
- 24:58oh this is very interesting the welcome
- 25:02home restoration project has received so
- 25:04much love and support in the duration of
- 25:06our efforts to recover this last piece
- 25:07of media
- 25:09but even better you believe me
- 25:12you know it is out there with that said
- 25:15someone has reached out to us to offer
- 25:17the opportunity to showcase our findings
- 25:18publicly for the world to see in an
- 25:20in-person exhibition
- 25:22they are regarded as the question
- 25:23answerer a professional exhibitor and
- 25:26museum curator who believes in our happy
- 25:28home just as much as we do
- 25:31together we will get it out we will get

- 25:43prepare for this exciting installation
- 25:45stay tuned and remember to wave up high
- 25:53in the previous update
- 25:55seems to be from January 15th they were
- 25:58also addressing
- 26:00a few setbacks in the coding of the
- 26:02websites
- 26:04a few graphics and texts that are Askew
- 26:07please ignore them and continue to
- 26:09peruse our happy home until we can get
- 26:10everything patched up
- 26:12okay
- 26:13[Music]
- 26:14so there's a gallery coming
- 26:18and that seems like a very bad idea
- 26:20according to the hints that we've gotten
- 26:22about this lost media and uh do you
- 26:26really trust somebody who calls himself
- 26:28the question answer because I I really
- 26:30don't
- 26:32guest book
- 26:33[Music]
- 26:36thank you for visiting our home take
- 26:38your time signing our guestbook and have
- 26:40a wonderful day please do not send
- 26:42personal information or messages or
- 26:43screen before the posted you your
- 26:45comments
- 26:47or just visit our guest book
- 26:49[Music]
- 26:54so what I love about the guest book and
- 26:56again this this speaks to the dedication
- 26:58by the Creator
- 27:01is that you can actually get sketches on
- 27:04some of these comments
- 27:07love and comment heart a shout out to
- 27:09all other poppy joys of the world little
- 27:11sketch of poppy honk clown Barnaby
- 27:16Excel
- 27:18and there are some interesting ones like
- 27:21Scott asking where am I and it's just a
- 27:23smile
- 27:25they don't all seem to be plants I I
- 27:29believe that probably some of these are
- 27:30plants
- 27:32in order to
- 27:34add to the vibe
- 27:36and give you hints but some of these
- 27:39are very clearly from visitors
- 27:42and we have signatures from
- 27:45all the characters it seems which is
- 27:47very cute
- 27:49links
- 27:50[Music]
- 27:51spread the good word about welcome home
- 27:55now interesting thing I noticed right
- 27:56off the bat about this is uh there's
- 27:59only one you can click
- 28:01it's this blue Barnaby
- 28:04[Music]
- 28:06for some reason that's clickable it
- 28:09doesn't lead you anywhere
- 28:11but Barnaby works
- 28:14alright so now you know what we have to
- 28:15do
- 28:16sell
- 28:17[Music]
- 28:19the hint
- 28:20was at the front door to Wally's place
- 28:23because underneath the door there's some
- 28:26sort of black liquid or shadowy kind of
- 28:29thing that's coming out from underneath
- 28:31the door
- 28:32and if you hover over this section you
- 28:35do not see my cursor right now because I
- 28:37didn't want it to be an interruption but
- 28:38if you hover over it you will get a
- 28:40notification that it leads to a page
- 28:44called So Below
- 28:51ah and here we are
- 28:57now we're starting to get somewhere
- 29:02ha
- 29:04okay so what have we got here we've got
- 29:06Wally
- 29:07in front of one of the moving eyes of
- 29:09home
- 29:11almost worshiping him
- 29:16let's have three shows there's nothing I
- 29:18can do here let me try something
- 29:20[Music]
- 29:21because obviously anybody who knows so
- 29:23below knows how to answer back
- 29:26let me try typing in as above
- 29:31that's
- 29:34moderate too far from home okay
- 29:39but this is a good technique to get us
- 29:41to spots that we haven't quite seen yet
- 29:43okay
- 29:44[Music]
- 29:46guess book neighborhood
- 29:51I see it's hard to see sometimes
- 29:54where the tab is bringing me
- 29:57[Music]
- 30:01let's try a control all in here
- 30:05[Music]
- 30:18so now comes the hard part because
- 30:21now we're on the hunt
- 30:23things aren't so obvious now and let's
- 30:26see if we have a letter w
- 30:29Mission page
- 30:30or about us we have the w we have the o
- 30:37this is where the underlying story
- 30:39started to seep through the cracks
- 30:42oh
- 30:43look at that
- 30:45we are thankful to be the first to jump
- 30:47start this journey but it hurts
- 30:51only able to see that through control
- 30:52all or getting lucky with the
- 30:54highlighting
- 30:57aha
- 30:59does it hurt
- 31:01okay
- 31:03so those who are actually conducting the
- 31:05investigation and creating this site
- 31:08they seem to be infected with something
- 31:11and it hurts
- 31:12it hurts and they want to get it out
- 31:16oh
- 31:16[Music]
- 31:18the numbers are so hard to read
- 31:20sometimes I can't see them
- 31:25okay
- 31:30[Music]
- 31:33all right let's try and tap through
- 31:38no
- 31:44hmm
- 31:46[Music]
- 31:49oh right
- 31:51that's because I tried that before
- 31:53[Music]
- 32:08[Music]
- 32:09okay
- 32:11so that did reward us with something
- 32:14we'll make sure it's delivered
- 32:16okay
- 32:18all right so this is very well formatted
- 32:20so if anything is a skew it should pop
- 32:23right out right
- 32:25[Music]
- 32:29these Pages go deep by the way
- 32:33[Music]
- 32:42aha
- 32:43[Music]
- 32:45well look at that
- 32:47Wally you're looking for me silly silly
- 32:52you won't write back
- 32:59and then really begins
- 33:01with the legitimate guesswork entries I
- 33:03guess
- 33:07hmm
- 33:08so while he's in here
- 33:10Wally or something that is claiming to
- 33:13be Wally is in here
- 33:15[Music]
- 33:22is there something behind there
- 33:23[Music]
- 33:29huh
- 33:36if there's a format issue there and then
- 33:38I'm not picking it up
- 33:45[Music]
- 33:54the why and the Y is out of place
- 33:58[Music]
- 34:00hot dog Barnaby is the only clickable
- 34:02one
- 34:04Barnaby's Wally's best friend
- 34:10Barnaby
- 34:13is there anything about the house
- 34:16here
- 34:18[Music]
- 34:27no nothing we can do there
- 34:31so we have at least a w an o
- 34:34a y an X
- 34:38were there other letters
- 34:39[Music]
- 34:51it seems that's as far as we go here
- 34:55just from what I can understand about
- 34:57what we're capable of doing at this time
- 35:00maybe there's something inside
- 35:03we can't actually look at the page
- 35:05source for hints here I don't believe
- 35:07because it is a Wix sight unless I'm
- 35:10mistaken there might be elements that
- 35:12you can go ahead and hide in here that
- 35:13just won't be visible unless you examine
- 35:15the page source that would be an
- 35:18examination for another day
- 35:20what I want to show you now
- 35:23so that you fully understand what's
- 35:24going on here is take you to the main
- 35:27main page that welcome home branches off
- 35:30of
- 35:31clown illustration.com and you can see
- 35:34right away we have puppets we have
- 35:38actual puppets
- 35:40and if you go to
- 35:42about welcome home
- 35:44as you can see there's that aesthetic
- 35:48that we're looking for there's that dark
- 35:50reveal hello my name is clown let me
- 35:53tell you about my project welcome home
- 35:55welcome home is a horror project that
- 35:58focuses on unraveling the mystery
- 36:00surrounding a beloved 70s children TV
- 36:02show you are to accompany a colorful
- 36:04Cavalcade of Puppets as their beloved
- 36:05neighborhood begins to skew into store
- 36:07into a nightmarish memory that they can
- 36:09barely recall through Illustrated books
- 36:11recordings and an array of mold
- 36:13merchandise you will find what dwells
- 36:15within this colorful home beneath its
- 36:18beautiful carpets behind its gorgeous
- 36:19wallpaper and deep within its breathing
- 36:21crevices fortunately you have someone to
- 36:23keep you company and hold your hand as
- 36:25you walk down a path now long forgotten
- 36:30and there's a gallery here too
- 36:36thank you
- 36:38[Music]
- 36:43hey Skinner and gang what's up
- 36:51oh
- 36:53the As Above silver from from the back
- 36:56of that
- 36:58oh
- 37:05[Music]
- 37:15so as you can see
- 37:17there's a lot more to this than what you
- 37:20have seen
- 37:24there's a lot more
- 37:26a lot more just in terms of the pieces
- 37:29that were made for this that will
- 37:32eventually come into play and elements
- 37:35of the sights
- 37:37and it looks like Clown's friend fig
- 37:39betta tested the site and did some
- 37:42painting for some of the odd work so big
- 37:44props to Fig
- 37:45[Music]
- 37:46and then then you can jump into welcome
- 37:49home
- 37:52and yeah from control a there's no
- 37:54secrets here
- 37:56[Music]
- 37:57so there is more
- 38:02there's absolutely more to this and I
- 38:05think it will be delicious and exciting
- 38:07and horrifying and wonderfully twisted
- 38:10but as far as I can go right now is as
- 38:12far as you have seen I did make a new
- 38:15discovery with you this time
- 38:17uh which was the So Below element
- 38:21now we know how to kind of navigate a
- 38:22little bit better it's always easier to
- 38:24try and use your brain first and really
- 38:27scan things and hunt them out and look
- 38:30for Clues and visuals that kind of lead
- 38:33you to believe there's something there
- 38:34but when all of that fails
- 38:36Ctrl a and tab around
- 38:41and obviously there's more to it than
- 38:43what we've seen here there are just too
- 38:45many elements on the outside for us to
- 38:47view plainly that show there's more and
- 38:49my only issue at hand is wondering if I
- 38:51missed anything I scoured it as much as
- 38:53I could before this video during this
- 38:56video if it's in there and I couldn't
- 38:58find it I just couldn't find it welcome
- 39:01home reminds me a lot of the Moss flower
- 39:03pictures project we covered last year
- 39:05except that under the surface it really
- 39:07is covered in blood and guts now I just
- 39:10can't wait to see all the blood and guts
- 39:12please please direct me to the blood and
- 39:14gods I'll say this too and throw a rock
- 39:17where a rock needs throwing it's really
- 39:20really refreshing to see someone
- 39:22approach the concept of the kids
- 39:23friendly mascot character entertainment
- 39:25product and do it with love and actual
- 39:28skill you know the heartless garbage
- 39:31that lets players have to shovel through
- 39:32in the wake of mascot horror and kids
- 39:33media horror flooding the scene too much
- 39:36of it is a transparent attempt to get
- 39:37big enough that counterfeiters at the
- 39:39mall rip off their product welcome home
- 39:41gives me life Welcome Home does It For
- 39:44the Love of the characters the idea the
- 39:46story The Darkness and the light and the
- 39:50way it can be brought to life in front
- 39:51of us this is what it means to be an
- 39:53artist with integrity and do something
- 39:55right that dozens of others around you
- 39:57are doing so annoyingly wrong I'll
- 40:00respect unique approaches to expression
- 40:01of a concept that inspired someone as
- 40:03long as I can actually see in your
- 40:05effort that it's coming from a place of
- 40:08inspiration of the heart and not cartoon
- 40:10dollar signs in your eyes if mascot and
- 40:13kids media horror dies within a year let
- 40:15nobody except the welcome homes of the
- 40:17world live and Thrive clown the Creator
- 40:20do this for the love of the art and the
- 40:22love of its world and that is what sets
- 40:24him apart
