  • ON THE FIRST EPISODE OF EPIC HORROR THEATRE...
    We bring to you a radio drama adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale, "The Color Out Of Space" directed by Ron N. Butler and published by the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company! Written in March 1927, tonight's tale details the misadventures of a surveyor from Boston who goes to Arkham, Massachusetts to learn the truth behind a shunned place the locals call "the blasted heath"...
    This shit is so fucking scary, it'll make you want to take a gallon of Flint's water and chug it! You'll understand why at the end.
    Share and subscribe to spread the Lovecraft goodness!

    Fun Fact : this was Lovecraft's favorite among all of his work.

    This was done by Atlanta Radio Theater Company. I think part of the intro might have been cut out.
    This was originally posted on the ARTC podcast, which was taken down a few years ago. Their podcast was recordings of the live shows, rather than the studio recordings that they sell. That's why there's an echo, and you can hear the crowd.
    I managed to find an archived link to the MP3 files, which are still hosted on the web. It's just that the ARTC website has been redesigned and no longer has any link to the files.
    Maybe someday I'll find somewhere to upload them, but that could be a copyright mess.

    Fantastic, equal to anything from bbc radio 4 [if they still do good plays that is ,as everything else has gone down hill with them ] , , the play was fantastic the severe voices of the actors complementing the severe names of the characters , totally convincing actors ,anyone know when this was made?

      Okay, I've been in the hospital for a bit, but I am recovering and finally feeling better so now I can release videos again. I have At The Mountains of Madness over on the Vimeo page but I'll be putting that up here on Sunday, and another epic Lovecraft tale shall also be put up on Labor Day, tentatively. I have like a ton of these on my laptop and the plan is to have weekly installments.

      It is spelled differently in different countries. The spelling in English between British, American, Australian (as noted in Guy Montgomerys spelling Bee) etc are different. Color is correct and the original title is also spelled color. Fun fact Australia is even worse on their spelling where certain words that end -er in British and American ends -re in Australian (yes I am actually fun at parties, I promise)

      , but, Lovecraft preferred to use older spellings of words. And Colour is the proper spelling for the whole story.

      @@beck769 Your right, I had to look it up to be certain but Lovecraft did spell it "wrong" (in US at that time) on purpose as you say bc he preferred older spelling. Interesting note is that it is registered officially with both spellings but you are right that it was originally ou.
