@TheEvilPuppyLives i know it's not your fault. may be the birds are..... some how doing it.... may be .. it's not really a picture.... but their very SOULS!!!!!!! and they want some thing...... ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
The Scottish accent initially threw me off on such an American story. But the sensitivity of your reading won me over and by the middle I was listening as attentively as I did when my Father read it to me more than 40 years ago. Bravo! Do it again!
Does anyone recall the Lovecraftian movie "In the Mouth of Madness"? It starred Sam "Damien Thorn" Neil. Pretty decent for the creepy factor. As I look back on it, I think it definitely had a Lovecraft element or two.
Guillermo del Toro would be my first choice as director for an accurate HPL movie: he alone might get all the detail as well as the story just right.. There are SO many bad adaptations out there, and I just don't understand why. Fans are so polarized as to what is right and wrong and yet no one who directs seems to be a fan at all. Sad really that no one cares for such a great writer with such a font of ideas so easily adapted to todays film technology.
This is one of Grandpa's finest tales, a superb blending of science fiction and horror, written in the years when science-fiction was a new genre. Many thanx for this!
On the one hand I wish someone would make a good Lovecraft movie, on the other hand I think it might not live up to my own mental image when I read the books.
However, anything Del Toro I think would be amazing. He's a huge fan. Also, have you seen Pans Labyrinth by him? That is a beautiful film, I would entrust him with Lovecraft.
@TheEvilPuppyLives Yeah Pan's Labyrinth is amazing. They're trying really hard to get it made but I think it's because it would be rated an R and no one was willing to put the money in unless it was made into a PG 13 but GDT didn't want to change it.
When I first started listening to it I was like "oooo... Irish accent!" I love everything Irish, and it really does give Lovecraft's work a really interesting 'old world' atmosphere! Kudos to the reader!
stupid birds. every time their picture comes up, the video freezes.

'for no other name could fit such a thing, or any other thing, fit such a name'
this guy was one of kind, his influence on sci-fi and horror cannot be overstated.Just a seminal writer and true original,warts and all
really he's shaped a great deal of modern entertainment-if you're alive and read books or watch TV and movies, you've felt his influence
no surprise he wasn't particularly successful or appreciated
true genius seldom is until it's gone
never miss yer water til the well runs dry

Who is the reader? I've heard this at the Internet Archive, but there's no name. I love his voice.

I love HP Lovecraft's work which may be why Arkham Horror is my favorite board game and why I liked the story from Splatterhouse. Great upload!

@calamagrostis88 I know what you mean. Here's to hoping the Guillermo del Toro "At the Mountains of Madness" movie doesn't suck.

The movie has been scrapped, unfortunately.

@DontBeSadBeRadd That really sucks. The movie being canceled, not Pan's Labyrinth, that is.
Pan's Labyrinth was awesome.

@calamagrostis88 Check out ‘Die Farbe’ it’s a rather faithful German adaptation of ‘The Colour out of Space’

Oh man thanks, Colour out of Space is one of Lovecraft's best, and you read perfectly.
