It's Deep Ones that we must appease

Aug 21, 2016 22:11

Oh, and speaking of Providence: the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's performing wing, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre, is offering a free download of their radio play of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." It'll be free only till the end of August 21, so if you happen to see this post before midnight, and like weird radio theater, jump on board ( Read more... )

YOINK.

(Thank you for the heads-up! I own The Call of Cthulhu, but none of the rest.)

Glad to be of assistance. Please let me know what you think. The vocal talents of Matt "Wilmarth" Foyer and Barry "That Guy Who Looks Like Captain Ahab" Lynch are in this, which was the big draw for me initially. Lots of other good performers, too.

I believe Foyer's presence in the cast to be part of the reason I bought The Call of Cthulhu, the other being that it was the one of their CDs readily available at Arisia the year after I'd seen their movies. Speaking of which, have they done any work on film since? I was fascinated by the possibility that they might just keep adapting forward in time, leading inevitably to a Lovecraftian '50's B-movie.

They apparently intend to make another film, but it's nowhere near being announced publicly--whatever it is, it's complex enough they need a studio to commit to it, and who on earth knows how long that will take. Sean Branney and Andrew Leman mentioned as much, this weekend, but wouldn't say what it was.

And it can be your gateway drug

Have you listened to their recent "Dagon: War of Worlds?" It begins as a deliberately stodgy adaptation of "Dagon," then becomes a tribute to the Mercury Theatre's 1938 "War of the Worlds," as the show gets interrupted by news broadcasts detailing an attempted rise of the Deep Ones, and if you've listened to their version of "Shadow Over Innsmouth," it's clearly a sequel....

I loved it. I should post at full length about it, but it was a lovely fanfic and I found it very funny too. My favorite part was where everybody was much more upset by the Germans having a submarine than they were by the gigantic elder god trying to eat everyone.

Well, the Germans had broken the Treaty of Versailles. Cthuhlu had never promised anything.

I must admit this is one hundred percent correct.
