    Of all the audio versions of this I keep coming back to this one. It's my favorite Lovecraft story but because of being ghost written I rarely see it, even in "Complete" editions.
    Lovecraft takes the very basic premise of "guy is dared to stay in a wax museum overnight" and creates a genuinely unsettling story of nameless horror nestled neatly within his own mythos.

      Orabona is easily one of Lovecraft's/Heald's most amusing characters. And if what Rogers said is true, he may have destroyed one of the key components for Cthulhu's return.

      @Pornhub XHamster I mean not as a massive block buster type hit, but as a small lowbudget movie, it could be possible, you need 3 scenes, a "museum" (just a gallery space), a weird hole (easy to set up) and a street to run away.
      I think the most expensive thing would be to set up all the pieces of art necessary to give the museum its feel.
      "the color out of space" was reimagine and I'll be honest, it's a pretty great movie

Also, he was taking a strong interest in socialism and easing up on the weird reactionary bullshit shortly before his untimely death. I know tons of left wingers who are Lovecraft fans.

    Honestly, it was silly to have Rogers be revealed as so wildly unhinged so early.

    It's become my regular ritual to fall asleep to Lovecraft read by Ian
    I'm now working on a horror comedy story about a small redneck town in Louisiana where people take refuge in a S-Mart when a hurricane brings in an invasion of aquatic Dagon creatures (I felt zombies were too played out) the hero is a geek who grew up reading Lovecraft and watching horror movies. Imagine all the white trash (sorry) type of people notorious of being in a Walmart living in thee store trying to survive.
