Conrad Feininger is still the best narrator. As far as I'm concerned this is _the definitive voice_ for Lovecraft's work. His pitch, tone, accent and cadence are just the perfect match for the literature here.
I wish I could find recordings of all of Lovecraft's stuff including the mound that are straight from radio recordings or something similar. Listening to older quality like this is the real way
Far superior to anything else I've heard. I don't feel like I'm hearing a Lovecraft story if it not in this old radio gravely voice. Too many modern readers are overly dramatic.
Why? What do you like about it? I’m not asking in an opposing way, I’m just genuinely curious because to my ear it sounds pretty standard and nondescript.

unless the Town chose to be called "Ins-Mouth" instead of "Ins-Muth" or it locally became that way over time. Plenty of reasons it could be either. Also fish men arent real. Shouldnt that offend you too?

I can't listen to any other version I've been hearing it narrated this way on youtube for years. It's just too good...
Yep :)
The guy on TES channel gives him a run for his money.

Except for how he pronounces insmouth incorrectly yes he's great 👍
@@legitbeans9078 Yeah, he had trouble with a few other words too.
This is my favourite audiobook. I listen to it most nights.
Same!
I am right now! Great to lay and listen to
Best voice for the drunken crusty guy... Perfect!!

I agree 👍
Easily my favorite voice to read lovecraft audiobooks
Agreed. Do you know the name of the narrator? I'd like to listen to more of his work
Morgan Scorpion has a voice too. Different!
@@KeithSchumacherPortfolio Conrad Feininger
Dudley knight is good as well but this guy is the best

"Gillman" house is so damn funny
let nobody say Lovecraft lacked a sense of humor
1:28:51 the line "Ever hear tale of a Shoggoth?" creates a pit of dread in my stomach.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Why?

Zadok Allen's passage is my favorite part of this story.
Heh heh heh!

(Zadok begins to float and emit a loud buzzing noise as lightning bounces across his brow)
Idk? His story just keeps getting worse and worse, and I panicked when he mentioned the Shoggoth.
A huge part of it for me is how impeccably voiced the passage is
Nah it's gotta be the guy at the bus depot who was like "oh insmouth? Let me tell you it's entire history! sit down for an hour me lad!"
The description of innsmouth is basically Ipswich in the uk.
Oi, you cheeky b*stard!
“Blank stary eyes”
“He was really forming words…and I could even understand some of them” 😂😂😂😂
"crumbling, worm eaten and supposedly empty houses" - sounds about right.
that opening lives in my head rent free
If I get uglier as as I get older, I can hope deep down that I'm really morphing into my "true" self, some eldritch thing that isn't human, and that soon I'll be called home to my people. 😂
we love a story with a happy ending 🥰
family reunions are so wholesome ❤
One of my favorite pieces of literature
So basically Portland, Oregon.
loooooooooooooool
@@TheGoodCrusader “fishy”
😂
I wouldn't ready fer that.

Ah-Oooh! 👹

So basically your moms basement
Perfect bedtime story.
I am falling asleep to this now 😂 I just love his voice it's so relaxing😊
Does anyone know what this particular series of cassette recordings is called?
2:16:10 - amazing passage ...
Excellent Narrator.
This dude really hit the jackpot
Happy Innsmouth Day!
Anyone read moby dick? The part in the middle reminds me of it, the drunk sailor talking about the captain but can’t find anything online about it
Pretty sure Joshi brings up some point of reference about this in one of his various works on HPL.
1:29:02 my favorite part
1:29:02 Zadok Yawn's loudly all of a sudden
It was the shoggoths coming out
Wow. Always gets to me.
Zadek is (from my limited reading) the only fleshed out human character in Lovecraft's work.
Agreed
There should not be any ads on this video!
There should not be anyone not using adblock, or brave browser on android.
There should also definitely not be anyone using youtube Re-vanced. Automatically skipping past in-video ads should be a crime.
Richard Carlye reads the shadow over insmouth is the best version

That end is worthy of comparison to M. Night Shamalyan. Lovecraft is the grandfather of modern day sci-fi horror.
Shamalyan has no business having his work compared to Lovecraft, you've seen too many mind altering inter dimensional beings to be stating a such.
@@SirBearization I just meant that the twist was similar.
@@teddyroosevelt3119you are a failure.
M Night Shayablamamam is a hack. He had one good movie and has been riding the wave of his own mediocrity ever since.
What utter rubbish. Shamlion is not at all worthy of any comparison to anything half-decent, let alone Lovecraft.
Ins 👄
Inns😲
Lol
I want to go to innsmouth then go to yoggoth
Its Pronounced "Inns mith "
You're absolutely right. I had to scroll down a mile before I ran across your cogent correction/
Fortunately the word innsmouth doesn't crop up too much past the opening. It did bother me though "ins... mouth" It's just wrong lol
2:14:10
Name drop. :D
Wait, the Conquerer Worm? Here, in this story?
What's the conqueror worm? Is lovecraft referencing something?

It just hit me innsmouth is a play on “in its mouth”
No
I think you might be on to something. Lovecraft himself wrote that Abdul Alhazred was written with a wink, as if to say this man had “read all”
As much as I would like for that to be the case, I don’t really think it is.
It's supposed to be pronounced "inns-MUTH", so that doesn't seem likely.
@@alexandernagel8205 "Abdul All-Has-Read" was his childhood nickname given by an uncle, IIRC.

Same lmao
Ins... Mouth. 😂
Dun-witch.
Too sped up.
cant listen.. keeps mispronouncing insmouth ... its promounced Insmuth like plymouth. ... too annoying to keep going.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD THE PRONOUNCIATION OF ONE WERD IS RUINING MY IMMERSION I COULD BE DRINKING A SOY LATTE INSTEAD YOU KNOW
unless the Town chose to be called "Ins-Mouth" instead of "Ins-Muth" or it locally became that way over time. Plenty of reasons it could be either. Also fish men arent real. Shouldnt that offend you too?
@JT McGee Coming from the same people who pronounce Worcester, "Wooster"? If it spells Innsmouth, then it's pronounced "Innsmouth"
you're telling me I've been pronouncing Ply-mouth Rock wrong for 24 years???
Well considering Innsmouth is a fictional town. Who really knows exactly how Lovecraft intended its pronunciation
