H P Lovecraft's The Music of Erich Zann

[TheCaptainLulz]

well played. That was enjoyable, thanks

[egdeltur666]

Pretty good given your medium there.

Although, with Tru'nembra, you're competing with The Shunned House, which made him (it?) sound perfect and you could... see it... however they managed to do that.

I like that you did try to put something out the window, but probably just pitch black would have worked better than a blue vortex. Also, I'm pretty sure Erich was still playing after Tru'nembra killed him.

Also, BEST OUTER GOD EVER! Am I right, folks?

[CorruptedSon]

What's the music that sounds when Eric Zann plays at the night in 2:06?

or is it your own mix?

[vucubcaxis]

Excellent job

[sl2h]

make one for "the transition of Juan Romero" good job btw!

[MrWilum]

I've always assumed the city to be Paris, but the city is (as far as I know) never named in HPL's tale. I wonder if he mentions it in his correspondence, or if it is all meant to be some kind of nameless dream? I keep coming back to this video -- it's so awesome! The music and effects sound great on headphone.

@MrWilum

that's weird i took it to be Paris too

[Russiarullez]

Actualy the city is unknown.But it is still a +5

[BigFuckingPig]

5++

Very good job! Lovecraft is one of a kind, but it takes a lot of work to read through his dense prose. Watching movies based on Lovecraft's works helps me become better prepared for actually reading the stuff.

[JamesWyndorf]

This story is quite reminiscent of Cool air, basically the plot unfolds the same, you have the narrator renting somewhat of a tacky abode, who seemingly applies to making company to one of his freaky neighbours which also represents the horror key element of the tale. Even Dr. Munoz and Erich Zann share a certain likeness, they're both acquaintances of the narrators; though the doc and the musician seem to respect these, it happens at times that they behave rudely towards their counterparts.

[composerdoh]

@JamesWyndorf It reminds me of Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus, although I think Lovecraft may have written this one first.

Sorry, I admire Lovecraft and all, but he doesn't even hold a candle to Thomas Mann.

Mann's descriptions of the music of hell are breathtaking.

[TEARFROST]

very nice work i have yet to read "the music of erich zann" but i think i just might have to now. thanks again

[egdeltur666]

@TEARFROST It's one of the best. Plus, nary a racist remark in the whole story!

[larodem]

Oooh, please do "The Shadow over innsmouth" next!

[RenegadeCultist]

Impressive work, where did you get the music for this?

There are way to few lovecraftian compositions to be found on the net ... :(

[verszou]

Very well done indeed :)

[DonWaka]

Quite a nice work. A bit far from the real story, but good enough.

[Chippergold]

Incredible work, great job!!!

[cthulhudiver]

Awesome!

[ellynlvx]

I used to read "Heavy Metal" and there was a story called "Tex Arcana" that really seemed influenced by this tale. Of course Lovecraft followers are legion, but the way the eccentric hermit guy musician called up God only knows what kind of creature with his violin...

[Auricknoble]

Very good but I thought Mr. Zann would look more ugly and Jewish.

[AlexGoldhill]

I just finished reading The Music of Erich Zann, and I think this movie is a brilliant tribute to it

[MajorCoolD]

Truely an awesome good vid. Thx for making and uping it mate ^^b

[JebanyZajebisty]

Wow, didn't expect it to be that good. Well done!

[Tsimagas]

Very good.

I nominate you Tsimagas Junior!

Keep up the good work!

[cky2k06]

Very interesting!

[JapeUK]

Although I'm a fan of the game, the actual production you get from Movies has never been something entertaining IMO, however this was great, and the fact it was done with something as 'delicate' as a Lovecraft story is all the more remarkable.

[hangur1974]

Well done ! Phantastic ! Great ! Thanks for posting.

[Anyu31]

I LOVE YOU!!!

[crowblack0413]

Nice job!!

[EldritchMask]

Bravo!

I'm not a fan of the usual YouTube "The Movies" productions but this is good.

Although I think the Horror genre doesnt translate well into the SIMS style, I thought this worked out well.

So 5 stars for you!

[timmy2bunnies]

i found your video to be disturbing. , ,deeply disturbing.

thanks

[zapendowski]

This is the first time I have ever rated a Youtube video, and it might be the last, but I wanted to give this 5 stars. A wonderful interpretation.

[Shaggoth4]

Great work buddy, i would have never thought of making a lovecraft video with "the movies", way to have creativity!

[Kalebfenoir]

Of all the Erich Zann vids, yours is the best. I suspect that if the Movies! program was a bit more capable, you'd have even had the bit where Zann is still playing.... but clearly, is not alive anymore, moving as a marionette in a fugue. :D

Keep up the good work!

[creepy609]

For a lovecraft fan which i am this was actually pretty good, This type of SIMS looking animation is actually a pretty good medium for adapting Lovecrafts stories but Its a pity you could not show some of the starnge creatures our protagonist saw from Zanns window

[Ronkonkoma2]

The mystery of what the student actually saw (or didn't see) is part of what makes this story so terrifying. H.P. Lovecraft thought this one of his best works because he did not over-explain what was seen through the window.

[Slotff]

Beautifully done!

[femoman]

brilliant

[RavenRyy]

A lovely piece of work. HPL would of been proud

[adishorulmeu]

I want to know more about it! How do you make these? Anyway good work.

[StarSpawn06]

thanks, you made a great author's fictional universe come alive again :)

[unclepatrick2]

Great. This is your best work yet.

[Faffel]

Fantastic, even given the lack of emotion due to The Movies.
