Lovecraft Radio Play: At The Mountains of Madness

Last night, I was interviewing exuberant Cthulhuphile Sean Branney of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society about their brilliant modern-day silent film, Call of Cthulhu.

Last night, I was interviewing exuberant Cthulhuphile Sean Branney of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society about their brilliant modern-day silent film, Call of Cthulhu.

We were chatting about their next film project, a 30's-style period 'talkie' of Lovecraft's Whisperer in Darkness, when Sean managed to me that they'd just released a 75 minute radio drama of Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness, which is certainly worth a ToM pimping:

"An expedition to the ends of the earth resulting in death and madness..."

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: At the Mountains of Madness brings Lovecraft's tale to life as it might have been adapted for radio during his lifetime. In the style of The War of the Worlds and The Shadow, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre dramatizes HPL's story with a cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and original music by Troy Sterling Nies (composer for The Call of Cthulhu). Relive the excitement of 1930s radio with one of HP Lovecraft's most exciting and fascinating stories: At the Mountains of Madness.

Fan reactions seem to be extremely enthusiastic, although you know how the slathering of R'lyeh cultists can be.
