    I actually got scared for a minute. There's a huge desert windstorm going on outside tonight while I listened. There were so many bumps and crazy grinding noises coinciding with the story. 😂 Absolutely perfect. I haven't been scared by a creature since Jaws... Perfect narration makes this possible. Thank you. Now I can't sleep. 😂😂❤

    Of all the audio versions of this I keep coming back to this one. It's my favorite Lovecraft story but because of being ghost written I rarely see it, even in "Complete" editions. Lovecraft takes the very basic premise of "guy is dared to stay in a wax museum overnight" and creates a genuinely unsettling story of nameless horror nestled neatly within his own mythos.

I think the most expensive thing would be to set up all the pieces of art necessary to give the museum its feel. "the color out of space" was reimagine and I'll be honest, it's a pretty great movie

Also, he was taking a strong interest in socialism and easing up on the weird reactionary bullshit shortly before his untimely death. I know tons of left wingers who are Lovecraft fans. Hbomberguy did an excellent video on it.
