H P Lovecraft's The Hound

My interpretation of H P Lovecraft's short story "The Hound", created using The Movies game by Lionhead.

A tale of murder, grave-robbing and madness based on the 1922 short story written by H P Lovecraft. It was actually among the first batch of stories he sent to "Weird Tales" magazine.

The custom backdrops and overlays are mostly created from personal photographs taken by myself and the soundtrack was mixed by myself. The buildings and streets are all Edinburgh's Old Town and the forest background from the car was taken from a woodland walk in Sweden. The photographs of the ancient gloomy church were taken in and around Inchcolm Abbey on the Firth of Forth. It's actually a very nice place and if you're in the Edinburgh area I would highly recommend a boat trip there! (http://www.maidoftheforth.co.uk/). The blood splats were downloaded from www.8eyebaby.com.

Lesson number one for graverobbers: If it's in the Necronomicon, you freakin' run away. Run away forever.

@MrTransgression If you've read Pickman's Model, Lovecraft describes a race of actual canine-like ghoul/humanoid creatures, which a man called Pickman knew of and drawn on regular occasion. Maybe, the skeleton in the coffin is related to that somehow? Otherwise I honestly couldn't tell you!

@jayhayes2007 More than likely the corpse was one of these creatures, which is likely why he called him Ghoul, and the ghoul came back as a skeletal canine man thing beast.

Spoiled by the Duke Nukem monster sounds and non-semi-canine amulet. Else are good.

Sir, I must say you captured the gist of the story very well. The atmosphere was amazing. Keep at it. I look forward to see what other stories of Lovecraft you cover.

I'm just trying to figure out the connection between the invisible hound and the corpse in the coffin. Is the hound the spirit of the corpse or a completely different entity and if so why is it that the corpse later has alien skin and hair? thanks in advanced.
