79--> '''Narrator:''' And here we see a herd of Agathesis Cristiethisis, commonly known as Wild Murder Suspects. Seen here in their natural habitat, a mansion's drawing room. They're distinguishable by their formal attire and frequently faked look of innocence and confusion. They were common in Britain and the United States in the '20s, '30s, and '40s, but eventually died out as their audiences grew brains.
80* WorldOfWeirdness: ''Fool's Gold'' is set in the Reviewaverse, weird stuff is the universe's thing. Such as a movie from 1911 having demonic powers.
