  26. 1:01before we enter this neighborhood I've

  31. 1:10raycon
  32. 1:12you know what isn't awesome living in a
  33. 1:14place where Winter does get cold and

  35. 1:17one of your tires and the repair shops
  36. 1:19around you are kind of slammed so now
  37. 1:21you're just effectively without a car
  38. 1:22for a while and because you're still in
  39. 1:24walking distance of locations to help
  40. 1:25you keep eating and maintaining daily
  41. 1:26life you don't have an excuse not to put
  42. 1:28on a jacket zip it up and get moving and
  43. 1:30no you're not going to just wait and pay
  44. 1:32for ride shares you know what it is
  45. 1:34awesome though reaching into that jacket
  46. 1:36pocket and knowing your raycon everyday
  47. 1:38earbuds are right there and a single
  48. 1:40full charge alone is going to get you
  49. 1:41through multiple trips outside whether
  50. 1:43you enjoy listening through a pair of
  51. 1:44everyday earbuds low latency headphones
  52. 1:46or a speaker with a battery to last you
  53. 1:48through whatever unexpected repair drops
  54. 1:50hit you retcon has you covered with a
  55. 1:52rich audio starting at half the price of
  56. 1:54other premium audio Brands I've been
  57. 1:56using everyday earbuds for years but in
  58. 1:58this period in life just knowing I have
  59. 2:00them and that they're going to pair up
  60. 2:02so easily and provide me with the music
  61. 2:03the moment they're in my ears makes
  62. 2:05walking a lot more paraple the deep bass
  63. 2:07is perfect for my kind of music because
  64. 2:09I need it to be loud and strong and
  65. 2:11distract me for from the boredom and the
  66. 2:13temperature as I Trek to my destination

  68. 2:17the charging device I know they're safe
  69. 2:18and ready to go for next time raycon's

  71. 2:22continuous play time and I won't pretend
  72. 2:24I haven't been dependent on that lately
  73. 2:25by the way the ease of pausing just by
  74. 2:28tapping the side of an earbud has been
  75. 2:30critical because you don't know the

  105. 3:34found out about welcome home and in
  106. 3:36accordance with the nature of the
  107. 3:37project I prefer that way what I will
  108. 3:39say is that there is no better
  109. 3:41introduction to the experience than its
  110. 3:43landing page
  111. 3:47hello neighbor come in
  112. 3:51it's a cute way to start isn't it just
  113. 3:54the way that the text hangs there for a
  114. 3:56second and then the rest of it floats on
  115. 3:58and it's very inviting
  116. 4:01so of course we click we come in and
  117. 4:04everything sets up very nicely very
  118. 4:07animated very friendly very delightful
  119. 4:11welcome home
  120. 4:13with a hop skip and a jump you were
  121. 4:15ushered into the colorful serendipitous
  122. 4:17world of Welcome Home it only takes one
  123. 4:20stroll down the neighborhood to know
  124. 4:21this is just the nicest little place
  125. 4:22you've ever seen
  126. 4:24watch Wally in his colorful array of
  127. 4:26friendly neighbors learn about the
  128. 4:27vibrant world around them and take part
  129. 4:29in nonsensical fun
  130. 4:32underneath we get a little bit more
  131. 4:33clarification welcome to the welcome
  132. 4:36home website feel free to explore our
  133. 4:38humble homepage and learn more about a
  134. 4:40puppet show now lost through security
  135. 4:42thank you for visiting
  136. 4:44so it's a puppet show and as you can see
  137. 4:46taking a look at it it seems very very
  138. 4:5070s TV inspired it's very obvious to
  139. 4:53know what the name brand uh it is most
  140. 4:57like is of course when it comes to
  141. 5:00puppets but they all seem to have
  142. 5:04distinct personality from them even if
  143. 5:06you can see the inspiration quite
  144. 5:08clearly and I really love that that's
  145. 5:11one of the immediate points that I can
  146. 5:13give you to observe of inspiration over
  147. 5:16imitation here
  148. 5:18so we know that it is a puppet show Lost
  149. 5:21to obscurity
  150. 5:23what's welcome home
  151. 5:26critically praised and financially
  152. 5:27successful welcome home dominated it's
  153. 5:30Saturday morning time slot with its
  154. 5:32colorful cast of Puppets entertaining
  155. 5:34and addictive stories and Lively sets
  156. 5:36unlike anything seen before surely a
  157. 5:39spectacle for audiences of all ages
  158. 5:41welcome home was an American children's
  159. 5:43television program created and produced
  160. 5:45by the play fellow Workshop which served
  161. 5:48as the Studio's only production
  162. 5:50okay Horror Story hints number one
  163. 5:54supposedly its first episode aired on
  164. 5:56October 11th 1969 horror hint number two
  165. 5:59started in October and was broadcast
  166. 6:02onto an unknown Channel until its last
  167. 6:04estimated air date sometime in 1974. so
  168. 6:07it did run for a few years at least
  169. 6:11you can see immediately these beautiful
  170. 6:13illustrations that are coming through
  171. 6:15welcome home primarily focus on the
  172. 6:17neighbors the show's inhabitants who
  173. 6:19were accompanied by a mixture of
  174. 6:21animated breaks and Illustrated
  175. 6:22storybook segments the setting itself
  176. 6:24was a colorful and exaggeratedly
  177. 6:26designed town named home with unique
  178. 6:29elements like a post office and a bodega
  179. 6:31as well as brightly colored creatures
  180. 6:32that lived within It episodes usually
  181. 6:35began with Wally introducing the focus
  182. 6:37or theme for the day before coming
  183. 6:38across other characters who would join
  184. 6:39him on his excutes until the end of the
  185. 6:41day which would signify the end of the
  186. 6:43show the end of the day okay that's the
  187. 6:46end of the show hmm so there might be a
  188. 6:49hint there that they never actually
  189. 6:51experienced night time all of the
  190. 6:54characters had notable recurring
  191. 6:55segments that were sprinkled throughout
  192. 6:56the entirety of the show's run such as
  193. 6:58Eddie dear creating arts and crafts
  194. 7:00Sally Starlet performing plays or Wally
  195. 7:03darling painting a picture with the help
  196. 7:05of other members of the cast The viewer
  197. 7:07was often regarded as an additional
  198. 7:09neighbor with Wally speaking to them on
  199. 7:11a regular basis and now you'll notice
  200. 7:13right away we have an anomaly
  201. 7:18why is this W so out of line with
  202. 7:20everything else
  203. 7:21you can see the original W is there but
  204. 7:25this one is fading there seems to be an
  205. 7:28inherent error on the page
  206. 7:30underneath this of course we have a
  207. 7:32slider and right away just immediately
  208. 7:35you can see the dedication to this
  209. 7:37project this strikes me so immediately
  210. 7:41this ad this retro ad that is mocked up
  211. 7:45just right that contains elements of
  212. 7:49Photography model work illustration
  213. 7:52paper cutouts and puppetry
  214. 7:57all in one all in one that is extremely
  215. 8:02impressive and the slide goes on as you
  216. 8:05can see underneath here it says restored
  217. 8:07remnants and reproduced pieces
  218. 8:10so these would be a lot of character
  219. 8:12interactions
  220. 8:14oh I'll be right back screen leading off
  221. 8:17to a commercial break okay
  222. 8:26Al one of the tie-in products a
  223. 8:28storybook and again just note the
  224. 8:32quality here the dedication that it took
  225. 8:34to produce this physical page with these
  226. 8:37illustrations get a puppet hand and then
  227. 8:41actually take the photo
  228. 8:50all these Valentine's cards like a lot
  229. 8:53of cartoons used to do
  230. 8:58oh even a Halloween special you know I
  231. 9:01gotta give some love to that
  232. 9:05okay that's actually vaguely
  233. 9:08you know what I'm feeling from that
  234. 9:10that's more leaning into our usual
  235. 9:12expectations
  236. 9:16of course this is a gift here that
  237. 9:17somebody's put together and
  238. 9:19so this character I believe Wally
  239. 9:23sleeping on a cake this just keeps going
  240. 9:25on and on
  241. 9:26which is incredible to me they did not
  242. 9:29create the Creator here they did not
  243. 9:31make just a few elements in order to try
  244. 9:34and convince you they just kept making
  245. 9:36things and put them together
  246. 9:39in this gallery
  247. 9:42just keeps going on
  248. 9:43[Music]
  249. 9:59oh Wally's house home
  250. 10:03blue
  251. 10:06okay so it seems to be a few different
  252. 10:08takes on it but two of these takes
  253. 10:12it seems as if the house is crying
  254. 10:17[Music]
  255. 10:29it's remarkable alone in a project like
  256. 10:32this just to see
  257. 10:34all the effort that went into creating
  258. 10:37what seem like different stages of
  259. 10:39production
  260. 10:41in the studio offices
  261. 10:45because this would be say kind of an
  262. 10:47expression sheet
  263. 10:48[Music]
  264. 10:53there's a lot of signatures here
  265. 10:55you might have noticed
  266. 10:58lower corner
  267. 11:09and it just keeps going on oh finally we
  268. 11:14hit an end
  269. 11:16but look at it all it's it's remarkable
  270. 11:18isn't it
  271. 11:20welcome home is believed to have had a
  272. 11:22four-year run upon further research
  273. 11:24before both its abrupt poll from
  274. 11:25television in 1974 and complete silence
  275. 11:28from its Entertainment Company the
  276. 11:30playfellow workshop welcome home success
  277. 11:33seemed to be set in stone and miss other
  278. 11:35television programs for a teacher
  279. 11:36Artistry captivating stories remarkable
  280. 11:39puppetry and Lively characters
  281. 11:41however all footage is presumably lost
  282. 11:44including supposed merchandise
  283. 11:46advertisements vinyl records and
  284. 11:48Illustrated books depicted in the
  285. 11:50episodes however what has been revealed
  286. 11:53has driven us to uncover its whereabouts
  287. 11:56and this is where it starts to get into
  288. 11:58our turf read more about our journey and
  289. 12:01how we are uncovering this long
  290. 12:02forgotten puppet show and our mission at
  291. 12:04the welcome home restoration project
  292. 12:05about us page we'd love to wouldn't we
  293. 12:09okay and again notice this the O is
  294. 12:12floating out of place
  295. 12:14and there is an existing o behind it
  296. 12:17so we have a w and we have an O who seem
  297. 12:19to be very purposeful when I originally
  298. 12:21found this project after somebody tossed
  299. 12:23me the lead when I took a look through
  300. 12:25it I noticed right off the bat that
  301. 12:28there are certain letters that are
  302. 12:29floating around and kind of glitched out
  303. 12:31my thought is that these are going to be
  304. 12:34needed for something
  305. 12:36maybe a password page maybe a link I've
  306. 12:40tried it a few times but maybe during
  307. 12:43this round I can uncover more
  308. 12:45the welcome home restoration project is
  309. 12:47a team of anonymous individuals
  310. 12:48dedicated to compiling restoring And
  311. 12:50archiving what few remnants of Welcome
  312. 12:52Home has been uncovered it is through
  313. 12:55these Collective efforts that we will
  314. 12:56awaken the memory of this last piece of
  315. 12:58media we strive to establish a friendly
  316. 13:00and open community of friends family and
  317. 13:02fans just like the colorful and quaint
  318. 13:04Neighbors in our beloved home love is
  319. 13:07clear in the messages of Wally darling
  320. 13:08and is as much of a Hallmark to him as
  321. 13:10his charismatic smile his cheery
  322. 13:12disposition and his eagerness to
  323. 13:14understand the world around him we too
  324. 13:16hope to spread this feeling of
  325. 13:18everlasting Joy caring understanding and
  326. 13:21acceptance to all in the hopes that you
  327. 13:22will join us in our thorough exploration
  328. 13:25Together We Will Make this House a Home
  329. 13:28visitors May wonder how we came to
  330. 13:30uncover such a show Yes actually where
  331. 13:33we obtain these works and the efforts
  332. 13:35taken to restore them to the best of our
  333. 13:36ability to that we are happy to open our
  334. 13:39front door to you neighbor
  335. 13:41FAQ who are you
  336. 13:43for personal reason our small Collective
  337. 13:45at the whrp team have agreed upon
  338. 13:48staying Anonymous for our own security
  339. 13:50and safety how did you begin your
  340. 13:53research to be honest we were drawn in
  341. 13:55unexpectedly all the information found
  342. 13:57on this website was extracted from
  343. 13:59documents that have been uncovered in
  344. 14:01brightly colored envelopes we are
  345. 14:03thankful to be the first to jump start
  346. 14:05this journey what do the illustrations
  347. 14:08writings and advertisements look like
  348. 14:09when you receive them
  349. 14:11all the paper materials tucked away
  350. 14:13inside the envelopes we have received
  351. 14:14are usually crowned together and covered
  352. 14:16in paint and ink despite these
  353. 14:18volunteers have both restored and
  354. 14:19recreated most of what was found on the
  355. 14:21documents below is an example of our
  356. 14:23work as we extract information from the
  357. 14:25original document and translate it into
  358. 14:26a digital state
  359. 14:27that is a hell of a Recovery Act isn't
  360. 14:30it but also the original piece in its
  361. 14:34destroyed States
  362. 14:35immediately you know you have alarm
  363. 14:38Bells going off of why did somebody try
  364. 14:41to destroy this
  365. 14:42[Music]
  366. 14:44our volunteers have also produced
  367. 14:46speculative pieces from the information
  368. 14:48gathered such as Frank's spinning head
  369. 14:50Eddie's removable hat and the heart
  370. 14:52marks on the bottom of Wally's shoes we
  371. 14:55hope more fan interpretations will be
  372. 14:56able to arise just like this
  373. 14:58[Music]
  374. 14:59why did you make this website
  375. 15:02um that's uh
  376. 15:04so the question seems to be doubled over
  377. 15:07but the answer is in turmoil
  378. 15:11let's see the original
  379. 15:13I hoped that this website would grab the
  380. 15:17attention of someone who has seen the
  381. 15:19show before and could tell us more about
  382. 15:22it if this wasn't possible then we
  383. 15:24wanted to be the first to Showcase this
  384. 15:26last piece of media to help spur on the
  385. 15:27research for its existence
  386. 15:29many of our guestbook signatures have
  387. 15:32talked about seeing this show before so
  388. 15:34this is a good sign it means it is
  389. 15:37inside of you too then
  390. 15:39and the other text
  391. 15:41when I unwrapped the first letter I felt
  392. 15:44it I heard it open open open open
  393. 15:47I wanted out I'm going to get it out
  394. 15:55yeah there it is
  395. 15:58you know I love this kind of approach
  396. 16:02then there might be a hidden text too
  397. 16:05so we'll check for that what kind of
  398. 16:07merchandise did Welcome Home have it's
  399. 16:09only speculation but from what we've
  400. 16:11counted there's a possibility that there
  401. 16:12are vinyl records children's toys
  402. 16:14plethora of other merchandise that could
  403. 16:16be ordered through various magazines
  404. 16:18someone thinks there are patterns that
  405. 16:19make your own Barnaby do you know how
  406. 16:22many episodes of welcome home there are
  407. 16:23unfortunately no we've yet to receive
  408. 16:26footage from the show nor a full catalog
  409. 16:27of all the episodes we've estimated the
  410. 16:30last air date for the show was in 74 but
  411. 16:32only because it is the most recent date
  412. 16:34listed on a script hmm
  413. 16:38do you know anyone who worked at the
  414. 16:40playfilla workshop or are you a former
  415. 16:42employee now and I am not affiliated

  424. 17:01he is the most as he would say
  425. 17:05let's go to the neighborhood
  426. 17:11home is where the heart is and welcome
  427. 17:13home's residents are the heart of the
  428. 17:14neighborhood even if you don't live
  429. 17:16there you're still one of its most
  430. 17:18important denizens but don't worry with
  431. 17:20the help of this colorful array of
  432. 17:22neighbors it'll feel just like home in
  433. 17:23no time at all
  434. 17:25I did find out about something
  435. 17:27just clicking around originally
  436. 17:31oh
  437. 17:32we have another piece look down here
  438. 17:39please note this information is pulled
  439. 17:40from remnants found in Illustrated pages
  440. 17:42in Old merchandise information is
  441. 17:44subject to change and expand upon
  442. 17:45discovering new findings so we have a w
  443. 17:48and O and an X
  444. 17:52you can see that the House's eyes are
  445. 17:54moving which is adorable but there's a
  446. 17:56hidden element here
  447. 17:57if you hover over your
  448. 18:01you get you
  449. 18:04[Music]
  450. 18:08so even you have a page here
  451. 18:18when this text is finished typing it
  452. 18:20says Wally is your best friend
  453. 18:24and that's it that's it for you that's
  454. 18:26all the information that it has about
  455. 18:28you
  456. 18:29[Music]
  457. 18:35there's nothing else that you can get
  458. 18:37Ctrl a just selects the background
  459. 18:41so now we have to go back
  460. 18:43hmm
  461. 18:45so let's explore the neighborhood
  462. 18:48let's do clockwise and then shoot for
  463. 18:50Center xiaomi
  464. 18:53Julie undoubtedly the cheeriest
  465. 18:56neighborhood puppet could ask for Julie
  466. 18:58joyful is welcome home's happiest
  467. 18:59resident amid such a rainbow of brightly
  468. 19:01colored neighbors that's really saying
  469. 19:03something upbeat silly and always ready
  470. 19:05to play with her friends there's never a
  471. 19:06boring day and welcome home while she's
  472. 19:08around she's Frank's best friend
  473. 19:11now obviously we could go through all of
  474. 19:14these bit for bit piece for peace
  475. 19:16but let's be honest we're looking for
  476. 19:20Secrets a lot of this would be hardcore
  477. 19:23TV show lore which is great in order to
  478. 19:26actually understand the concept and the
  479. 19:28characters but we like to get to the
  480. 19:31bottom of things sooner rather than
  481. 19:33later
  482. 19:34so there's Julie
  483. 19:37Sally starlets
  484. 19:39according to an uncovered script Sally
  485. 19:42had once been the brightest star in the
  486. 19:44sky even more than those that surrounded
  487. 19:45her however looking down at a nearby
  488. 19:48Celestial body from her spot she knew
  489. 19:50there were still places she had yet to
  490. 19:51truly shine and fell from above as a
  491. 19:53shooting star
  492. 19:54concept artwork revealed that Sally was
  493. 19:56a live hand puppet but required an
  494. 19:58additional hand to help move her head as
  495. 20:00it was much larger than other puppets
  496. 20:03notice earlier what we established about
  497. 20:05the episode seeming to end whenever the
  498. 20:07day would end
  499. 20:09Sally has a night side on her door for
  500. 20:13her house but as a star
  501. 20:16she only seems to be in a sun shape her
  502. 20:21eye shadow does seem to indicate
  503. 20:22nighttime but so far there's not a lot
  504. 20:26of night that we are experiencing here
  505. 20:31Poppy
  506. 20:33yes she watched she made cookies of the
  507. 20:35other characters that's cute
  508. 20:37old scripts outlined poppy had lived
  509. 20:39with her family and a nest had been
  510. 20:41tucked away in a tree hollowed deep
  511. 20:42within the forest but that she would
  512. 20:43eventually outgrow to a staggering
  513. 20:45degree
  514. 20:46Eddie a male carrier who moved into home
  515. 20:49from a distant town in order to
  516. 20:51establish a post office
  517. 20:53Eddie had never stated the correct name
  518. 20:55of where he came from throughout the
  519. 20:57show's run the running joke often had
  520. 21:00him stating a place that did not exist
  521. 21:01followed by an admission to
  522. 21:03misremembering it as a place he
  523. 21:05delivered to as opposed to a place he
  524. 21:06lived I guess that could be a humor bet
  525. 21:10but it is kind of strange right
  526. 21:15howdy pillar
  527. 21:17all right that's cute a small time
  528. 21:20caterpillar who wanted to start his own
  529. 21:22business
  530. 21:23Audi's puppet was rotated between a live
  531. 21:26hand puppet and a walk-around puppet in
  532. 21:28order to keep him in frame with his
  533. 21:29fellow residents
  534. 21:36Barnaby B beagle
  535. 21:39Barnaby's puppet was rotated between a
  536. 21:41live hand puppet and a walk around
  537. 21:43typically to keep him in frame with his
  538. 21:45much shorter Neighbors
  539. 21:47Frank
  540. 21:49smartest neighbor and welcome home
  541. 21:51resident Bookworm with an expertise on
  542. 21:53butterflies
  543. 21:54puppet appeared with a fixed frown on
  544. 21:56its face but an illustrated material
  545. 21:59Frank often had more complex expressions
  546. 22:02Wally
  547. 22:04Wally darling the friendliest neighbor
  548. 22:06and welcome home perhaps even the best
  549. 22:08painter too we would smile like his it's
  550. 22:11hard to disagree always eager to make
  551. 22:13new friends and show them around the
  552. 22:14neighborhood while he's happy to lend a
  553. 22:16helping hand but you knew that already
  554. 22:19didn't you
  555. 22:21okay yeah now it's starting to get there
  556. 22:25his house is named home
  557. 22:28is regarded as the ninth neighbor but
  558. 22:32seemingly cannot speak as illustrations
  559. 22:34show home speaking only in onomatopoeias
  560. 22:36Creek squeak bang sources say however
  561. 22:40that this puppet's eyes could move
  562. 22:42through a hand crank on the other side
  563. 22:43of the prop facing away from the camera
  564. 22:45additionally it stores chimney and
  565. 22:48windows were supposedly very animated
  566. 22:49during episodes it is implied that home
  567. 22:52is the most Lively house within the
  568. 22:53neighborhood as none of the other houses
  569. 22:55seem to have eyes
  570. 22:57okay this is interesting notice now it's
  571. 23:01not go back for anything it's goodbye
  572. 23:11[Music]
  573. 23:13okay
  574. 23:17all right
  575. 23:20I'm excited because I finally did just
  576. 23:24find something I found something that I
  577. 23:26did not find before back when I was
  578. 23:27first exploring this and it only took me
  579. 23:30maybe two pages to design yes we're
  580. 23:33covering this we're exploring this but
  581. 23:35I've just found something here through
  582. 23:36the tap system whenever you're exploring
  583. 23:39a website that has potential hidden
  584. 23:41links use the tab button to scan through
  585. 23:45the page and it should highlight in
  586. 23:47squares anything that is not obvious
  587. 23:51so because I just did that I found
  588. 23:53something
  589. 23:55we're gonna come back to this we're
  590. 23:57gonna come back to this
  591. 23:58because now I'm excited and I think we

  606. 24:31restoration much the package found was
  607. 24:33soaking wet so uncovering the entire set

  609. 24:38water damage however our restorers have
  610. 24:41managed to clean up Sally Starlet and
  611. 24:42howdy Pillar To What We believe to be

  679. 27:21Scott asking where am I and it's just a
  680. 27:23smile
  681. 27:25they don't all seem to be plants I I
  682. 27:29believe that probably some of these are
  683. 27:30plants
  684. 27:32in order to
  685. 27:34add to the vibe
  686. 27:36and give you hints but some of these
  687. 27:39are very clearly from visitors
  688. 27:42and we have signatures from
  689. 27:45all the characters it seems which is
  690. 27:47very cute
  691. 27:49links
  692. 27:50[Music]
  693. 27:51spread the good word about welcome home
  694. 27:55now interesting thing I noticed right
  695. 27:56off the bat about this is uh there's
  696. 27:59only one you can click
  697. 28:01it's this blue Barnaby
  698. 28:04[Music]
  699. 28:06for some reason that's clickable it
  700. 28:09doesn't lead you anywhere
  701. 28:11but Barnaby works
  702. 28:14alright so now you know what we have to
  703. 28:15do
  704. 28:16sell
  705. 28:17[Music]
  706. 28:19the hint
  707. 28:20was at the front door to Wally's place
  708. 28:23because underneath the door there's some
  709. 28:26sort of black liquid or shadowy kind of
  710. 28:29thing that's coming out from underneath
  711. 28:31the door
  712. 28:32and if you hover over this section you
  713. 28:35do not see my cursor right now because I
  714. 28:37didn't want it to be an interruption but
  715. 28:38if you hover over it you will get a
  716. 28:40notification that it leads to a page
  717. 28:44called So Below
  718. 28:51ah and here we are
  719. 28:57now we're starting to get somewhere
  720. 29:02ha
  721. 29:04okay so what have we got here we've got
  722. 29:06Wally
  723. 29:07in front of one of the moving eyes of
  724. 29:09home
  725. 29:11almost worshiping him
  726. 29:16let's have three shows there's nothing I
  727. 29:18can do here let me try something
  728. 29:20[Music]
  729. 29:21because obviously anybody who knows so
  730. 29:23below knows how to answer back
  731. 29:26let me try typing in as above
  732. 29:31that's
  733. 29:34moderate too far from home okay
  734. 29:39but this is a good technique to get us
  735. 29:41to spots that we haven't quite seen yet
  736. 29:43okay
  737. 29:44[Music]
  738. 29:46guess book neighborhood
  739. 29:51I see it's hard to see sometimes
  740. 29:54where the tab is bringing me
  741. 29:57[Music]
  742. 30:01let's try a control all in here
  743. 30:05[Music]
  744. 30:18so now comes the hard part because
  745. 30:21now we're on the hunt
  746. 30:23things aren't so obvious now and let's
  747. 30:26see if we have a letter w
  748. 30:29Mission page
  749. 30:30or about us we have the w we have the o
  750. 30:37this is where the underlying story
  751. 30:39started to seep through the cracks
  752. 30:42oh
  753. 30:43look at that
  754. 30:45we are thankful to be the first to jump
  755. 30:47start this journey but it hurts
  756. 30:51only able to see that through control
  757. 30:52all or getting lucky with the
  758. 30:54highlighting
  759. 30:57aha
  760. 30:59does it hurt
  761. 31:01okay
  762. 31:03so those who are actually conducting the
  763. 31:05investigation and creating this site
  764. 31:08they seem to be infected with something
  765. 31:11and it hurts
  766. 31:12it hurts and they want to get it out
  767. 31:16oh
  768. 31:16[Music]
  769. 31:18the numbers are so hard to read
  770. 31:20sometimes I can't see them
  771. 31:25okay
  772. 31:30[Music]
  773. 31:33all right let's try and tap through
  774. 31:38no
  775. 31:44hmm
  776. 31:46[Music]
  777. 31:49oh right
  778. 31:51that's because I tried that before
  779. 31:53[Music]
  780. 32:08[Music]
  781. 32:09okay
  782. 32:11so that did reward us with something
  783. 32:14we'll make sure it's delivered
  784. 32:16okay
  785. 32:18all right so this is very well formatted
  786. 32:20so if anything is a skew it should pop
  787. 32:23right out right
  788. 32:25[Music]
  789. 32:29these Pages go deep by the way
  790. 32:33[Music]
  791. 32:42aha
  792. 32:43[Music]
  793. 32:45well look at that
  794. 32:47Wally you're looking for me silly silly
  795. 32:52you won't write back
  796. 32:59and then really begins
  797. 33:01with the legitimate guesswork entries I
  798. 33:03guess
  799. 33:07hmm
  800. 33:08so while he's in here
  801. 33:10Wally or something that is claiming to
  802. 33:13be Wally is in here
  803. 33:15[Music]
  804. 33:22is there something behind there
  805. 33:23[Music]

  815. 34:10Barnaby
  816. 34:13is there anything about the house
  817. 34:16here

  821. 34:34a y an X
  822. 34:38were there other letters
  823. 34:39[Music]
  824. 34:51it seems that's as far as we go here
  825. 34:55just from what I can understand about
  826. 34:57what we're capable of doing at this time
  827. 35:00maybe there's something inside
  828. 35:03we can't actually look at the page
  829. 35:05source for hints here I don't believe
  830. 35:07because it is a Wix sight unless I'm
  831. 35:10mistaken there might be elements that
  832. 35:12you can go ahead and hide in here that
  833. 35:13just won't be visible unless you examine
  834. 35:15the page source that would be an
  835. 35:18examination for another day
  836. 35:20what I want to show you now
  837. 35:23so that you fully understand what's
  838. 35:24going on here is take you to the main
  839. 35:27main page that welcome home branches off
  840. 35:30of
  841. 35:31clown illustration.com and you can see
  842. 35:34right away we have puppets we have
  843. 35:38actual puppets
  844. 35:40and if you go to
  845. 35:42about welcome home
  846. 35:44as you can see there's that aesthetic
  847. 35:48that we're looking for there's that dark
  848. 35:50reveal hello my name is clown let me
  849. 35:53tell you about my project welcome home
  850. 35:55welcome home is a horror project that
  851. 35:58focuses on unraveling the mystery
  852. 36:00surrounding a beloved 70s children TV
  853. 36:02show you are to accompany a colorful
  854. 36:04Cavalcade of Puppets as their beloved
  855. 36:05neighborhood begins to skew into store
  856. 36:07into a nightmarish memory that they can
  857. 36:09barely recall through Illustrated books
  858. 36:11recordings and an array of mold
  859. 36:13merchandise you will find what dwells
  860. 36:15within this colorful home beneath its
  861. 36:18beautiful carpets behind its gorgeous
  862. 36:19wallpaper and deep within its breathing
  863. 36:21crevices fortunately you have someone to
  864. 36:23keep you company and hold your hand as
  865. 36:25you walk down a path now long forgotten
  866. 36:30and there's a gallery here too
  867. 36:36thank you
  868. 36:38[Music]
  869. 36:43hey Skinner and gang what's up
  870. 36:51oh
  871. 36:53the As Above silver from from the back
  872. 36:56of that
  873. 36:58oh
  874. 37:05[Music]
  875. 37:15so as you can see
  876. 37:17there's a lot more to this than what you
  877. 37:20have seen
  878. 37:24there's a lot more
  879. 37:26a lot more just in terms of the pieces
  880. 37:29that were made for this that will
  881. 37:32eventually come into play and elements
  882. 37:35of the sights
  883. 37:37and it looks like Clown's friend fig
  884. 37:39betta tested the site and did some
  885. 37:42painting for some of the odd work so big
  886. 37:44props to Fig
  887. 37:45[Music]
  888. 37:46and then then you can jump into welcome
  889. 37:49home
  890. 37:52and yeah from control a there's no
  891. 37:54secrets here
  892. 37:56[Music]
  893. 37:57so there is more
  894. 38:02there's absolutely more to this and I
  895. 38:05think it will be delicious and exciting
  896. 38:07and horrifying and wonderfully twisted
  897. 38:10but as far as I can go right now is as
  898. 38:12far as you have seen I did make a new
  899. 38:15discovery with you this time
  900. 38:17uh which was the So Below element
  901. 38:21now we know how to kind of navigate a
  902. 38:22little bit better it's always easier to
  903. 38:24try and use your brain first and really
  904. 38:27scan things and hunt them out and look
  905. 38:30for Clues and visuals that kind of lead
  906. 38:33you to believe there's something there
  907. 38:34but when all of that fails
  908. 38:36Ctrl a and tab around
  909. 38:41and obviously there's more to it than
  910. 38:43what we've seen here there are just too
  911. 38:45many elements on the outside for us to
  912. 38:47view plainly that show there's more and
  913. 38:49my only issue at hand is wondering if I
  914. 38:51missed anything I scoured it as much as
  915. 38:53I could before this video during this
  916. 38:56video if it's in there and I couldn't
  917. 38:58find it I just couldn't find it welcome
  918. 39:01home reminds me a lot of the Moss flower
  919. 39:03pictures project we covered last year
  920. 39:05except that under the surface it really
  921. 39:07is covered in blood and guts now I just
  922. 39:10can't wait to see all the blood and guts
  923. 39:12please please direct me to the blood and
  924. 39:14gods I'll say this too and throw a rock
  925. 39:17where a rock needs throwing it's really
  926. 39:20really refreshing to see someone
  927. 39:22approach the concept of the kids
  928. 39:23friendly mascot character entertainment
  929. 39:25product and do it with love and actual
  930. 39:28skill you know the heartless garbage
  931. 39:31that lets players have to shovel through
  932. 39:32in the wake of mascot horror and kids
  933. 39:33media horror flooding the scene too much
  934. 39:36of it is a transparent attempt to get
  935. 39:37big enough that counterfeiters at the
  936. 39:39mall rip off their product welcome home
  937. 39:41gives me life Welcome Home does It For
  938. 39:44the Love of the characters the idea the
  939. 39:46story The Darkness and the light and the
  940. 39:50way it can be brought to life in front
  941. 39:51of us this is what it means to be an
  942. 39:53artist with integrity and do something
  943. 39:55right that dozens of others around you
  944. 39:57are doing so annoyingly wrong I'll
  945. 40:00respect unique approaches to expression
  946. 40:01of a concept that inspired someone as
  947. 40:03long as I can actually see in your
  948. 40:05effort that it's coming from a place of
  949. 40:08inspiration of the heart and not cartoon
  950. 40:10dollar signs in your eyes if mascot and
  951. 40:13kids media horror dies within a year let
  952. 40:15nobody except the welcome homes of the
  953. 40:17world live and Thrive clown the Creator
  954. 40:20do this for the love of the art and the
