Roddy McDowall Reads The Horror Stories Of H. P. Lovecraft

[@TheCynthiahawkins]

Had a very brief phone conversation with him in 1985. It consisted of us apologizing to each other repeatedly over missing each other's phone call. He was such a nice, polite man. He is so missed by so many.

Living proof that a voice reveals intelligence, taste, personality and now how rare among the mob.

I was born in 1959 and it seemed as if there never was. a time when Roddy wasn't around, or I didn't know his name. Gone too soon.♥️

[@seferino]

Fine actor. His voice is hipnotic.

[@joerusche]

Such an amazing pairing of two of my favorite creative souls.

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

Absolutely incredible readings from Mr. McDowall. Lovecraft's words sing off the pages.

[@waynehansell6749]

Mr McDowell was always one of my favorite actors. I miss him greatly.

[@marchutchison5362]

This was my first introduction to Lovecraft. I was sick in bed and my mom brought this album home from the library. I've never forgotten it.

Hello, I have just discovered this great recording. Roddy McDowall 's delivery is perfect, and so enjoyable. He was always good at playing sinister creepy villains. Thank you very much.

[@waylonkohler4207]

I don't remember ever having heard this. Thanks for posting. It's fantastic.

Used to hire this out from my local library

[@seferino]

Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness. Wretched is he who looks back upon lone hours in vast and dismal chambers with brown hangings and maddening rows of antique books, or upon awed watches in twilight groves of grotesque, gigantic, and vine-encumbered trees that silently wave twisted branches far aloft. Such a lot the gods gave to me-to me, the dazed, the disappointed; the barren, the broken. And yet I am strangely content, and cling desperately to those sere memories, when my mind momentarily threatens to reach beyond to the other. I know not where I was born, save that the castle was infinitely old and infinitely horrible; full of dark passages and having high ceilings where the eye could find only cobwebs and shadows. The stones in the crumbling corridors seemed always hideously damp, and there was an accursed smell everywhere, as of the piled-up corpses of dead generations. It was never light, so that I used sometimes to light candles and gaze steadily at them for relief; nor was there any sun outdoors, since the terrible trees grew high above the topmost accessible tower. There was one black tower which reached above the trees into the unknown outer sky, but that was partly ruined and could not be ascended save by a well-nigh impossible climb up the sheer wall, stone by stone.

[@lauragraves4342]

The original dark tower. Dude.

[@theresasabderson4726]

Really love his voice

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

Hello my ghost Roddy…miss you! 🌺

[@cwbrooks5329]

Good one, Dude. Thanks again.

[@Catglittercrafts]

He just wanted to say hi Poor guy didn’t know he was dead

[@DigitalEelRich]

Top notch.

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

I still think that the Outsider is the Pharaoh Nephen-Ka.

[@HBHaga]

"He" and "The Hound"

[@mikeboo4446]

Somehow I don't imagine HPL stories narrated with an English accent
