Awesome / Bedtime Stories (YouTube Channel)

• "Evil Under the Ice" has a pretty awesome scene involving the immediate post-WWII US Navy and Nazi remnants duking it out in Mysterious Antarctica. Specifically, it has Nazi UFOs dogfighting against US Navy F4U-4 Corsairs and F8F Bearcats, with the latter managing to hold their own despite suffering casualties and the massive technological gap between them. Cool vs. Awesome indeed.
  • The fact that a series that normally specializes in Nightmare Fuel or Tear Jerker moments manages to create an awesome scene straight out of a Historical Fiction/Science Fiction is in itself pretty awesome.
• "The New York Nuke" has the fact that, despite being short on resources, fuel, and war materiel, the Germans were able to build and fly a conventionally-powered bomber capable of flying all the way from France to New York City non-stop late in the war. Had the Germans been able to build a nuclear device, they most certainly would have been able to attack the US mainland in a propaganda victory.
• "The Scourge of the Skinwalker" has a mechanic named Steven Fergusson. On July 13 2004, Fergusson encountered what is believed to have been a Skinwalker while working on boat in the Dillon Reservoir in Colorado. When he realized how much danger he was in, Fergusson grabbed a wrench and whacked the creature and pushed it into the water before running off to his truck and driving away. As a bonus, the creature only took Fergusson's hat, not the toolbox he had left behind.
• In "The Gurning Man of Glasgow," there's the brief account of a 1950's incident where some schoolchildren claimed to have been menaced by a vampire. The difference between that and all the other alleged vampire sightings is that police arrived at a cemetery to find about 200 children carrying homemade weapons, with the intent to hunt down said vampire after it killed two other kids. A bit silly, but still awesome for the kids in the story.
