Music video

Similar to the film The Haunted Mansion, Nelly inherits a mansion from his recently deceased uncle and throws a house party. However, his guests soon start falling victim to the haunting of the house. Nelly soon confronts the evil spirit causing it all (also played by him) and defeats it by throwing an enchanted orb he received from a zombie at it. The evil spirit is destroyed and all the ghosts of the mansion are free.

gollark: Well, *sorry*. What do you *want* on it?
gollark: I've written```Coroutines are Lua's way of handling concurrency - running multiple things "at once". They act somewhat similarly to threads on computers, except coroutines must explicitly transfer control back to their parent - only one is actually run at any given time. This is what [[coroutine.yield]] does. Many things internally use [[coroutine.yield]], such as [[os.pullEvent]], [[sleep]] and anything else which waits for events.You can create a coroutine with [[coroutine.create]] - pass it a function and it will return a coroutine. This coroutine will initially not be running (use [[coroutine.status]] to check its status - it should show "suspended")See also [http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial the Lua users' wiki].```so far, but I'm really not too great at documentation...
gollark: We should put it up *somewhere*.
gollark: How do I add an offsite link?
gollark: You could just make a page for them now.
