Welcome, dear listener. This time I have recorded a special story for you that will chill the blood in your veins.....and perhaps make you stop and wonder a moment when next you meet your doctor.....heh, heh. Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Makeup FX artist Ed French narrates this fiendish story!
One of my favorite narrators! Mr. Frenchs voice is wonderfully distinctive, thanks for a good yarn!
wow, godness hack! that was nuts! both guys were nuts! At least a happy ending phewwww! Thank you!
Great hearing Bela again. Few things more satisfying than two mad scientists having at it 💀
Like something out of the 1940's "Poverty Row Studios." Heh, heh, heh. Thanks, Susan! E.E.F.
Mr. French, This is one of the greatest Lugosi impersonations ever … amazingly subtle and perfectly nuanced … you nailed it. This was also an extraordinary production, like an episode of Mercury Theater guest starring Bela Lugosi.
Nice to hear that, Paul. Yes. This is exactly the kind of "Poverty Row" B-movie Bela would have appeared in back in the 1940's. Cheers. E.E.F.
Fantastique!
That was delightfully outrageous! I don’t think I’ve heard so many manically, fiendishly triumphant laughs followed by such desperate reversals of circumstance in one short story…ever! Brilliant! I cannot think of anybody I know who could have handled this story so well! Or, indeed, handled it at all! To my mind, Mr. French, you remain the uncontested King of Pulp! And Manic Laughter! Bravo!
"Outrageous" is the word, Hugh. You take a tiger by the tail when you tackle this kind of insanity. Thanks. E.E.F.
Another excellent reading 👍
Great tale, creepy-sexy Lugosi accent, & outstanding catering! What's not to love?🖤
Excellent! I could almost taste the clay in my mouth! 👍
Good LORD! Spit that stuff out, Pat! THANKS for listening! E.E.F.
Perfectly narrated. You made a good story absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Perfect!
Excellent narration Mr French. Your voice is a cross between Orson Wells and Vincent Price; utterly mesmerising. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Nice hearing from Merry Ol' England, Rougemont. Be SAFE and WELL. E.E.F.
I get the impression you really enjoyed doing this one. So did we, a real suspensefull yarn!
Oh, oh. I gave myself away! Yeah, it was fun playing Mr. Lugosi. E.E.F.
Whenever I hear the name, "Dr. X," I think of the old film from the late 1930s, with Humphrey Bogart as "Dr. X." Mr. Bogart had aspired to become a physician long before he became an actor. Thank you, Mr. French, for this effectively creepy tale. Your excellent series of terror tales harken back to the golden days of radio programs such as "The Inner Sanctum," "Lights Out" and "Suspense." "Slime" and "In Amundsen's Tent" are my favorites which you narrated. Mr. French, keep up the great work!
THANKS, Walter. Yeah, Bogie was the original Dr. X. Or maybe THIS guy was. This story was written in the 1920's. Who Knows?!! Thanks for listening! E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 -- Wow! "Out of the Grave..." was written that long ago?! It was a "hum-dinger!" Again, many thanks, Mr. French!
@@FrenchEdward06 I felt sure the "splitting the atom" comment meant this was written after 1945.
EDIT: OK, some people used it in a slightly different sense when J.J. Thompson "split" the electron off of the atom in the late 1800's. Indeed, if that atom were REALLY indivisible, this would have been impossible, so it was "splitting the atom", but I did not realize the phrase was sufficiently popular to be used as a figure of speech in the 1920's.
@@FrenchEdward06- Excuse my saying but Lionel Atwill was the original Doctor X. He played the role in a 1932 film.
@@alexdavies7394 You are forgiven. E.E.F.
fantastic
What fun! The music took me way back to being 6/7 years old, going to the Saturday Matinee at our local flicks! Thanx, Edward!
Awwww, thanks Elaine. Yes. The stuff of nostalgia. Glad you enjoyed the ride. E.E.F.
Self applause is no applause
? E.E.F.
Yes
Great story!
Appreciate that, Andea c. Cheers! E.E.F.
Excellent job! Thank you!
I love your voice. Wish I could give 5 thumbs up. 😬
p b - Oh, do it anyway! (LOL) Thanks! E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 I'd be quite a freak of nature if I could, but then.... this would fit this channel ever so brilliantly...
This is some good old-fashioned shudder pulp horror. The sound effects and voice characterization really added to the reading. Excellent work!
Thanks for tuning in Robert Walker- Smith. One of the sillier, but fun audios. Fiction Fantastique none-the-less. Be safe and well. E.E.F.
You have me hooked on these stories, mr french. I've recently introduced this channel to my mom, and she absolutely loves it. This is such a great way to end a stressful day. These sort of bedtime stories i wish they had as a kid, hahaha hope all is well with you good sir, and i hope to see more on this channel. You have my undying support.
"Mother Approved." Thanks, Fletch. Sweet dreams! E.E.F.
What a lovely(!) discovery! Is there any information about Eldrich Morton? Did he write any more of these - is there a Dr. X series?
Good question, DR. I haven't found anything on Morton if there's nothing about him in the F.F. credits.. It may be a nom de plume. I'' d love to do more "Dr. X" stories. E.E.F.
Great story, and as always great narration and production. ))
This was excellent, thank you!
Hey, THANKS for tuning in, Nancy! Be safe and Well! E.E.F.
I would love to hear you read Stephen King's "Gray Matter." The audiobook is on RUclips. It's fantastic, but I think you would give it a different "spin."
Thanks, "Break." I'd need Mr. King's permission to do that. I've petitioned contemporary authors for permission to record their work to no avail. And although I don't make a dime from this channel I've had certain authors or the author's " estates "threaten me with lawsuits for a few of the recordings I've posted here and I've had to remove them. That's the reason I try to find stories in the public domain. E.E.F.
It was just a prank, bro!
You sound more like Bela Lugosi than Bela Lugosi himself.
Thank you. That's funny. E.E.F.
Wait a minute... Dr. Roquesec's (I have no idea how that's spelled) left arm is broken when he's tossed into the grave, but the right one is in a sling at the end of the story. Am I the only one missing something here?
Now that you mention it, no Ben. That's exactly the text of this ghastly but convoluted yarn! E.E.F.
I can think of a few possibilities, but the most probable is that Dr. X is an unreliable narrator.
"Cracking the atoms of opium." Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
Crazy as it sounds, I think this has been done. It might explain our current national mental illness? Just kidding (I think). E.E.F.
