Never mind Moriarty, Sherlock may have just met his match right here. I heard some mention of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law teaming for a third Sherlock Holmes installment, and I'm all for it. While the series hasn't reached the heights of the Jeremy Brett or Benedict Cumberbatch versions (or even Basil -ahem- Rathbone) for me, I still find the first two films entertaining and it's always good to have more Holmes content. At least we know for sure Enola Holmes has another movie coming up on Netflix.

Really clever idea - thank you!
First of all? I love the title. Very lol-worthy! :-)
Secondly; I'm afraid I've never of "Enola Holmes" till this second. Due to Netflix not existing in my neck of the cyber-woods.
Oh, yes! Now, I remember what I really wanted to ask.
If Quentin Beck rented this place from Cain, would that make it...The House of Mysterio?
Carycomic, "Enola Holmes" is fun, and it's pretty much the only time I've seen Henry Cavill smile and realized he had the potential to actually act. Worst Superman ever - we already have a dark and brooding scary DC hero, and he's called Batman. Sheesh.
The Doyle estate filed a peculiar (and ultimately dismissed) lawsuit against the creators of Enola Holmes. Details at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/dec/22/lawsuit-copyright-warmer-sherlock-holmes-dismissed-enola-holmes
Holmes in the House, would that make it a door to door service? A Halloween meal should always have a touch of Basil in it.
This cover isnot at scbool, but it has a lot of class.loveit.
@Reg Aubry: I found him preferable to the Brandon Routh version.
I know that this had been suggested by someone quite some time ago, but I don't remember who. But of course the name "House of Mystery" lends itself to a visit by Sherlock.
Nice work on the story title. A clever but subtle pun.
I'll be looking for that new Enola Holmes movie. Millie Bobby Brown was great fun in the first film, so a second should be almost as good.
@Reg: Don't blame Henry for that. Blame Bryan Singer. He has a bad habit of making everything superhero-ish into something dark and moody.
Great puns! Nothing elementary about it. Perfect with Halloween coming soon! This shows that Arthur Conan Doyle was no Barbarian. It would be something to have Holmes go up against the Riddler some time.
Holmes vs. Nigma? I'm a little surprised DC hasn't tried that already! Do it, Ross!
Would be cool to see Quentin Collins from the House of Dark Shadows meet up with Cain and the House of Mystery as well as Abel and the House of Secrets. Perhaps Barnabas Collins, the time traveling vampire, could team up with Sherlock Holmes.
Jamdin, a cul-de-sac on Nightmare Alley??
Seriously, though; this is quite fitting. Because, in addition to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Prof. Challenger, Sir Arthur also wrote his fair share of ghost stories. Especially after becoming a member of the Spiritualist faith (nominally, at least) following his son's death in World War I.
P.S.---isn't Howard The Duck overdue for meeting Buffy The Vampire Slayer now that they both live in Cleveland?

There's a Spirtualist church in Worthing (West Sussex, England) with a plaque on the outside wall saying that he 'opened' it.
I did not know that! Thanks for the further info. :-)
Interesting idea. I'm not really into horror, but there are aspects that can be used for a good story. That said, I am looking forward to seeing what you come up for Halloween. Or maybe a bunch of scary crossovers for the week of Halloween. Wow. And now I just realized that would be a lot of work to do for a whole week of Halloween covers. I didn't really think of that. But now I am wondering, you may have said before, how long does it normally take to put together one of your covers?

Once I find the right images, generally between 3-5 hours. This Halloween cover will feature a horror icon versus a suitable victim (making their STF debut) with a related hero attempting to intervene.
What I want to know is, is the 'House of Mystery' matched by a 'Mouse of History'?
Okay, more seriously, has DC made any more use of its'House of Weirdness' -- which also had Cain as its custodian, during the period when Elvira had taken over at the HoM -- since the end of Blue Devil's original series?
I'd say...most likely not.
@Det. Tobor: either that, or the jazz musician son of Aladdin.
