Ah, The Dunwich Horror, or as we call it in this household, Wilbur Whatley, Chick Magnet.
*snerk*
derspatchel sent me the IMDb summary: "Wilbur Whateley pops over to the Arkham Miskatonic University to borrow the legendary Necronomicon and Sandra Dee."
If you get DVDs of the HPLHS productions, be sure to watch the making-of documentaries. R'lyeh was built in somebody's back yard.
Their effects coordinator (see reply to handful_ofdust) actually talked about the model work. Apparently they needed a particular kind of digital camera for the stop-motion, which I hadn't even considered. I love that these technologies are not entirely dying out.
He's the same actor who plays Henry Akeley, and his real accent is totally unlike the one he uses on-screen.
I would expect nothing less.
(I was really impressed by these people!)
The unhelpful curator is Andrew Leman, the ringmaster behind the HPLHS, and he's also Charles Fort (under a lot of padding).
I was thinking of the woman in the stacks with the fisheye glasses, but I did see that was him. I like that their actors are also their writers/directors/composers.
I can also recommend their radio drama, particularly their take on "At the Mountains of Madness."
Yay. I was wondering where to start. And I saw Matt Foyer's name on that one . . .
(I am also curious to hear what the Emma's captain sounds like, at least when he's a radio host. It's been so long since I discovered actors first through silents and then through sound. I think the latest was Clive Brook.)
