HPLHS Radio Show! At the Mountains of Madness
Monday, January 15th, 2007
The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society does some quality work. Whether its Christmas CDs, posters, movies, or props, they really put some fine stuff together. I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve picked up from them and hope they continue putting together HPL media.
Well, it looks like my wait is over, because the HPLHS has put together what will probably be another fun work for the avid HPL collector! Available now, is the HPLHS audio adaptation of “At the Mountains of Madness”!
Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: At the Mountains of Madness brings Lovecraft’s tale to life as it might have been adapted for radio during his lifetime. In the style of The War of the Worlds and The Shadow, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre dramatizes HPL’s story with a cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and original music by Troy Sterling Nies (composer for The Call of Cthulhu). Relive the excitement of 1930s radio with one of HP Lovecraft’s most exciting and fascinating stories: At the Mountains of Madness.
Go check it out at the HPLHS.
Its too bad that being here in “The States”, I can’t just step outside and pick up a copy of the Radio Times magazine. Especially since they’re giving away some Doctor Who audio books with the mags! Doctor Who is a great show, but David Tennant as Doctor Who Freakin’ Rox!
SFFAudio has some links up to some MP3’s of “The Call of Cthulhu”! The 2 MP3 set, 94 minutes in length (Unabridged, of course), was originally read by Garrick Hagon, and published in 1989 by Landfall Productions. Greylodge Podcasting Company is releasing the files for download and torrent!
