H. P. Lovecraft 1933 WPA Newsreel Interview

It wasn't proven that he had syphilis. I have his death record and it says on there, well I don't have it on me now, but its some sort of intestinal cancer. Some fancy word. Wouldn't surprise me as his eating habits were terrible. He ate merely 2 meals a day and his mother didn't help by letting him eat whatsoever he desired.

Exactly. And he went to his grave believing that his stories were failures, thus believing he was a failure. The death of REH and the loss of his birth home effected him terribly.

Actually Lovecraft was well educated. He taught himself by constantly reading the thousands of books in his grandfathers, Whipple Van Buren Phillips, library. HPL knew a variety of different languages, math and science and history. He is smart, probably more smart than all of us here put together. He could, as Frank Belknap Long once said, "Talk a Harvard professor under a table". Though because he didn't have the piece of paper, sadly, even today, he couldn't get very far.

The real mystery is: What on earth has happen's to SGToshi!!?? Into what realm, what Audient Void, hath he been sucked into. He has not been active for two months! Perhaps the Elder Forces, seeing this video, has stolen him into what H. P. Lovecraft hath call'd "blackness illimitable"....

If you look at someone's photo, without ever meeting that person, you can hear what their voice sounds like in their voice.
I never imagined Lovecraft sounding like this though.

I do like how much time you put into this :)
but yea, I'm weird and shit

I've known people who knew Lovecraft when they were young men, and they said he had a very high, nasal voice -- so this might be vaguely similar to how he sounded. The guy is wearing eyeglasses here, and Lovecraft wore them only when he was in his late teens/early twenties -- so he is too young here to have garnered enough attention to be interviewed.

I know and am good friends with someone who, as a young man, visited Lovecrafts friend Clark Ashton Smith. He is 71 today. CAS died in 1966. His name I won't reveal but he is one of the most intelligent, cultured and well mannered people living. And he shares a lot about CAS with me and it makes me feel as though even I knew him. Clark loved cheap burgundy, a drink he shared with guests who visited him in his family cabin up in Auburn, CA.

I was finally able to meet the poet, Donald Sydney-Fryer, at World Fantasy Con in San Jose. I believe he knew CAS slightly. Donald is, I think, the most authentic poet I have ever met. His reading voice, his personality -- everything about him is almost other-worldly, like he has stepped out of an elder and more refined era. Do you have the three volumes of Smith's Collected Poetry publish'd by Hippocampus? Superb! They may yet be reprinted in soft cover.

He dont even look like Lovecraft!

@KasimirMaser99 Of course it's fake! it was made as a promo for the more recent film "Cthulhu", with Jason Cottle!
