NANCY DREW CASE FILES: 11

CURSE OF BLACKMOOR MANOR

A 14th-century English mansion haunted by a tragic past. The Beast of Blackmoor

Will the tragedy of the past make things hairy for the present? A family and a home full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, unlike the lady of the house who keeps herself hidden away.

Is it the beast that truly haunts these halls? Or is it the people, a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing among them. Only one way to uncover the truth by stepping foot inside the walls and uncovering what's hidden behind the curtain of this mystery? Or maybe...Who?

Amelie Bea Smith as Jane Penvellyn

Lindas young stepdaughter, a curious nature and a craving for attention, especially for playing games, Knoweldgeable and aware of the Manors secrets, is it possible her love of playing games leaves everyone a pawn in her chess match against her stepmother in hopes of moving back? Or is she simply just homesick?

Lucy Boynton as Ethel Bosinny

Jane's tutor from a long line to the Penvellyn Family. Charming and mysterious, with a close attachment to the Penvellyns. Is it possible she knows their secrets? Or maybe has some of her own?

Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Drake

Janes great-aunt, The housekeeper of the Manor, that she would have owned, if not for the arrival of her nephew and his wife, Linda. Devoted to the manor and keeping it in order. Is it possible she might be trying to scare Linda out, so that she may own the manor once more?

Riz Ahmed as Nigel Mookerjee

A historian with interests close to the Manor and the family that resides, Could he be a confidant? or a keeper of their secrets?

Sally Hawkins as Linda Penvellyn

The current lady of the house, refusing to see anyone, believing she is cursed, what keeps her hidden away? Fear of what's out there? or fear of what others might uncover?

Clue crew members exploring Blackmoor Manor

look I know everyone has made this post a million times but that’s because it’s TRUE: Ethel Bosinny is scary as hell

[of-princes-and-savages]

I replayed Nancy Drew and the Curse of Blackmoor Manor recently, because in my opinion it’s one of the best games in the series: Good story, good puzzles that are firmly rooted in the game and not just random, really interesting environment.

But. Freaking. Ethel.

You see this woman four times, and only three of those times do you actually talk to her. And yet somehow she is more terrifying than whispers in the night, the threat of lycanthropy, or anything you find underneath the mansion. The lifeless automaton in the front hall is less threatening than this woman is. I had a glass of water on my desk the second time Ethel shows up while your sneaking around the passages and that was almost a disaster.

I mean...can we prove the real Beast of Blackmoor wasn’t the Bosinny family all along?

I have an alternate culprits tag just for this kind of thing. I’ll pick a new one this time: Ethel should’ve been the culprit for CUR. A mentality of “I’m sick of being the family that serves the rich family. Bossinys are the ones who teach the Penvellyns everything and we should get the treasure after all this time.” I still think that laughing figure in the cloak was Ethel - it’s too tall to be Jane (there are no stilts like we see with Lukas in CAP) - trying to scare Nancy away after catching her in the secret passages. 

If you guys had to change the villain from one of the games, which would it be? I would choose Soren from SEA.

«Нэнси, я знаю, ты хороший человек, и понимаю, что ты очень хочешь узнать, что же происходит с Линдой. Но у меня есть некоторые обязанности которые могут противоречить твоим интересам. Я не буду вмешиваться в твои дела без разрешения. Но как только я его получу, ты будешь вынуждена покинуть Блэкмур».

Weird fears for Ethel!

Just the weird fears then? I agree with @papenniesandbentoboxes headcanon that Ethel is scared of clowns. That makes total sense. But I will add my own idea that she is also scared of the ocean. It’s too vast to be fully known. She’s sure that she’ll drown or mysteriously vanish beneath the surface if she sails on or swims in the sea.
