I’m a huge fan of the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society. I’ve enjoyed their radio plays, ‘The Dunwich Horror,’ ‘At the Mountains of Madness,’ and ‘The Shadow out of Time.’ And their silent film version of ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ is, I think, the best Lovecraft film ever produced.
So it’s great that they have produced a radio play version of ‘The Call of Cthulhu.’ Watch the silent film … and then listen to the radio play (or vice versa). Both your visual and aural senses can experience the horror of R’lyeh – just not at the same time! That’s probably a good thing for one’s sanity…
(Check out the cool trailer here.)
The silent movie was fantastic, going to to go and check this out now. Cheers!
