INSPIRATION
Be inspired by many things, but these films, shows, and books might help jog your memory of Obscuria. While many are not precisely from 1913, most have some sort of monster or setting that inspires the Rangerverse.
While this list was made with our Roleplaying Game in mind, one informs the other. (Creatively for me, at least.)
