Wayne June is the best narrator. Hands down.

To quote Red from Sarcastic Productions "Oh no! How will he be able to function in polite society if he's cripplingly paranoid that every non white person he runs into might be trying to (laughs) I'm just kidding it's 1920s rural America no one will notice".

I just stumbled across this channel. Sorry to see it appears to have been abandoned.. Understandable considering royalty issues coupled with time consuming production efforts. Is a real shame..he could have really benefited from utilisation of the AI bei that's out now! 🤞..maybe he'll pick it up again

Fantastic job. I've always enjoyed The Call of Cthulhu and your motion comic made me love it more. Amazing narration too. But I'm actually more impressed with your take on the ending, starting at 25:10. Most interpretations of the story always go with the cliche' downer "going mad with the revelation" ending where the narrator goes insane and/ or is thrown in an asylum or is killed by the cult. You're ending however I love way more because the narrator isn't killed or goes insane. Instead, he gets a different feeling, uncertainty. He is uncertain if he will be killed, uncertain if Cthulhu will return in his lifetime, uncertain what the future holds. All the narrator can do is just wait and see what happens. In many ways, it very much invokes the ending to John Carpenter's The Thing, it's not a 100% downer ending but still a dark ending for sure. Nothing either MacReady or Childs can do, just wait. It's kind of how I pictured the book's ending itself. Thank you for doing this motion comic!!!

I love this wow I am so immersed within the comic!

Brilliant!

That's totally inaccurate, because in the actual story a German WW1 craft sinks the main characters ship and he explores the ruins thrown up from beneath the sea on his own. Where do you proclaim to have the relative, and necessary permissions to orally tell Lovecraft’s famous tale in an altered form? 🤔

They cut out the passage about Nyarlanthotep 😢

Wow! Well done! So eerie!

You know I consider myself fairly well read but never read H.P. until the last month or so (I am 51, by the way). The more alarming thing to me is that it took a South Park epi to light the fire under me to root out this story... I've read Dunwich Horror and Call of Cthullu. I don't know the order in which to read them, and can find noone thar agrees on any certain order anyways...if anybody has an idea please feel free to list it here. I am interested, but not hook on the mythos. I'm a King fan and Anne Rice too, mostly her earlier vampire chronicles...the whole alien thing and the vamps she wrote later on was a tad much for me.

Being scared of the unknown is in fact being scared of your own mind.

bro tell me the song that starts at 00:55 its not the same one that's written in the description.

I wish you would make more videos like this, these are great.

Any chance to get a copy of just the voice track?

Why have there been so few uploads? This content is top-notch.

I wonder why they left out the story given by the cultist taken prisoner by the New Orleans police.

Please do "the dunwich horror"

"..The Marginally Explained.." OMG. 🎉

The fact Clayton was run over by a boat and submerged defeated takes away most of the fear. If a single guy in a boat could do that much damage, imagine an armed army. Was that a bad ending decision by Lovecraft or i didn't catch something?

The subtitles disappeared.

Not a bad listen, but I read the book while listening and notice many large skips in text.

This would make an awesome scary movie! Really chilling message too. When you trace back the history of family (or the history of humanity as a whole) you see an unbroken chain of barbarity, cruelty, and brutality. A chain that inevitably remains unbroken despite shifts in culture, governmental forms, and societal changes.

I thought his cat's name was Jigga Man.

The blood pumps, the limbs obey!

What I don’t understand is why can’t a Lovecraft character have a cat named Niggerman, but Tintin can have a dog called Snowy?

So it’s edited

Mr blackman 🤣

Not everyone knows this but hp Lovecraft didn't just write horror stories. Those are just the most popular.... And the best

This help better understand the call of Cthulhu, thanks!

You got to start making more motion comics again man.

"The stench of a thousand open graves." Sounds like this guys been to the lunch truck lot when its time to clean the grills.

Very nice! Unfortunately, your second video "rats in the walls" has age restrictions and I don't want for KZbin to see my ID and upload it here: you never know if it is really safe. Are any chances that age restrictions will be removed?

It is a shame that Lovecraft was not accepted in his lifetime as he is now. His form of writing is so unique, few authors have been able to create such marvels in the human mind as him. King comes close, but Lovecraft pulls you in so very far.

If they were to make a big-budget movie adaptation, then here's how I would do it: divide it up into three segments, each directed by different directors a la the Twilight Zone movie. The film would open with Angell's death and Francis coming to his home 2 years later, where he finds the bas-relief and descends the rabbit-hole 1. The Horror in Clay would be directed by Jennifer Kent, the director of the Babadook. Mainly since the trick here is to play with the audience's expectations. Like, 'Is Cthulhu (Bill Skarsgard) Real, or is he just a figment of Wilcox's (Rhys Ifans) imagination?' 2. The Tale of Inspector Legrasse would be directed by Robert Eggers, the director of The VVitch. Here, we start to realize that Cthulhu is real, and a threat. 3. The Madness From The Sea would be directed by James Wan, the man behind Saw and the Conjuring films. Here, we get to see Cthulhu in all his glory, so Wan was a perfect choice. And the movie's ending would be Francis, after hearing of all this, sealing up all the evidence of his research (the bas-relief, the journal from Wilcox, the news clippings on the worldwide chaos, the statuette, the report on the New Orleans investigation, the couplet from the Necronomicon. the idol, the newspaper article on Johnasen's[Hugh Grant] rescue, the logbook) in a box and sealing the box in his attic in a drawer that he labels with instructions never to open, being stabbed to death by a member of Cthulhu's cult (who then skewers the body on the fence, to make it appear like Francis just tripped and that it was an accident), only for the papers and other trinkets to be found by his 23-year-old niece Emma (Kristen Stewart) 2 months later, presumably repeating the cycle

Chickened out on the cat's name I see.

Metallica brought me here😂

It's niggerman, please be faithful to the artist

Cthulhu for President 2024. Why settle for the lesser evil? No more years no more years

This is an excellent narration!! I’m trying write a story that touches on Cthulhu and the Elder Ones in particular and you’ve made the introduction to Lovecraft’s work far, far easier to grasp.

mr. blackman, what a nice name for a cat

Day #3 on the Titan sub visiting the titanic. We lost power, communication, and there is shit everywhere. It is the most foul stench, I hope I can escape.

Numerous mentions of a swine heard, and no images of the pigs from the Warrens? You got other images from Darkest Dungeon, why not those?

This was excellent. Wonderfully rendered.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankini is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. -H.P.Lovecraft

I love the visual references to Darkest Dungeon and the soundtrack/ audio snippets of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It fits so perfectly and just adds to the eerie nature of the story.

the sound effect are way too loud, too bad...

The most merciful thing in the world 0:52
