Downton Abbey: 2022 Halloween Special

This is a response to the Anon that sent in the question of if I’m doing a Downton Abbey Halloween special this year. Sorry, the ask feature on my blog is all kinds of messed up, I don’t know what’s going on with it. 

As for your answer ... 

THE STORY 

Set in 1936, Lady Edith Pelham, Marchioness of Hexham, has arrived in Hollywood to negotiate the film rights to her novel that she wrote based on her granny’s time in the South of France and her romance there with the Marquis De Montmirail in the 1860′s. With the huge success of the novel, there has begun a bidding war between several movie studios trying to lure Edith into selling them the movie rights by giving her the big Hollywood welcome and show.

Accompanying Edith is her brother-in-law and close friend, Tom Branson. Supportive but downcast, the owner of the thriving “Branson & Talbot Motors” has come to Hollywood with two goals. The first being that one of the stipulations to Edith’s negations is that her beloved niece Sybbie - a rising star in English Cinema - is to be given a chance to star in the film and portray her Great-Grandmother of whom left her the house that inspired Edith’s novel. Tom is to represent the interests of his break-out young teenage starlet of a daughter. However, Tom is also there to reconnect with his estranged wife Lucy who, nearly eight months ago, left in the night with a suitcase and has since resurfaced in Los Angeles, living with George and Thomas - working as their secretary and assistant.  

Meanwhile, across town, George Crawley, Thomas Barrow, and Lucy Branson, are engaged by several Mexican-American farmers whose neighbors and family members have been ritualistically murdered by a seemingly supernatural being of local folk lore. Knowing his stellar reputation as a master detective - and notorious for being labeled a vigilante - the leaders of the small farming community have come to George and Thomas’s private detective office to beseech the famed George “The Comet” Crawley to investigate the murders of their loved ones and stop this ‘demon’ before it kills again.   

 What isn’t the studios telling Edith? Why has Lucy come to Los Angeles? What vile beast stalks and haunts the citrus fields outside Hollywood? And how does it all tie in? 

You’ll have to find out for yourself dear readers in ...

I don't think I'm doing Downton Abbey right Session #150

Movie: Violet tells Mary that though their descendant will live different lives than them, the Crawley family will live in Downton no matter what, because, its were they belong. Carson tells Mrs. Hughes that a Crawley will always be in Downton Abbey ...

My Story Series: in 1952 Downton Abbey is overtaken by an evil ancient demon infused into an ancient Atlantean mask. Most of the family and staff is killed and their souls are imprisoned. George, Sybbie, Sybil, and George's son are the only ones to escape ... and the heirs of the fallen House of Grantham live in America for the next sixty years and are under the shadow of a curse of hatred from the ancient evil that dominates the halls of Downton Abbey and the souls unknowingly trapped in a time bubble, like dolls in a dollhouse for the demon's amusement.

Also My Story Series: in 2019 the last Heir of the House of Grantham is forced to go on an expedition into the cursed manor by Edith and Bertie's great, great-Grandson the Marquis of Hexham to retrieve an artifact that George used to resurrect Matthew and Sybil in the 1940s, so they can resurrect Lord Hexham's dead wife. Thus, the last descendants of the Crawley family have to go into the evil infested house and interact with trapped souls that still think the King of England is staying there for the night. All the while dodging the attention of the demon that is ever lurking somewhere in the manor ...

Movie: ...

Me: I do feel bad about it, though ...
