HorrorBabble I love the addition of sound affects but I always imagined the wings to beat less rapidly then they seemed to in this video. That’s because I thought the wings would be carrying something much larger then a bat, although I guess that is how the narrator described it. Wonderful stuff as always
I just re listenened to "Mountains of Madness" and thought of the same thing if like plane sounds were heard in the back ground, etc. I know that particular story is like 3 or 4 hours long so that would definitely take some time to do. I don't expect for you to take on such a huge task right now. But I am glad you are doing this for your content. Thank you very much for taking the time to revisit these and make them even better :D :D :D
some Critical Constructive feedback , (i hope) , choice of bat sounds was off a little , it sounded more like hoards of giant catepillars , and the pause for the baying hound sounds was a little too evident , it could be overlayed with the description in the background instead of the fore ground sounds, an option would be to convert the story in to full radio play with differnt people speaking the parts to differnt actors , unless you are very good at speaking multiple parts. that way the actors would react tot he sounds. may be a suggestion for a future production
@@Demonic-X Thanks Dom! We appreciate the feedback. You might have missed the adaptations we've previously recorded though, which are more along the lines of what you're describing. For example: ruclips.net/video/rQcZ9gzIDfM/видео.html
"Later, I buried St. John at midnight in one of our neglected gardens and mumbled over his body one the devilish rituals he loved so much In life..." I dont know why I love this line but some of it is just the quintessential Lovecraftian sentimentalism
Isolation, self-diagnosed degradation of sanity induced by perverseness, animals serving as a link to the supernatural, and graveyards; this might be the most Poe-inspired of all H.P. Lovecraft's stories.
I was cycling home from work a couple of hours ago. It's about a half hour journey so I thought a new version of The Hound was the perfect accompaniment to a pleasant ride. That is until Ian said " a shrill scream". When Jennifer screamed her terrible scream I near shat myself and crashed into a hedge! Well done horrorbabble for truly living up to your name.
All your renditions of this amazing story are awesome!! I loved the sound effects! The ending really closed the loop in this one. I always wondered, "If he really followed through." You answered that. Thank you for all these wonderful stories!
BATS IN MY BELFRY? As I sit here in Japan inside a thin walled house with evening drawing and storm clouds gathering by the nearby shadowed Kanagawa mountains I steadily work on some artwork whilst listening to the gusting wind whistle through the tiled rooftop - and to this special edition of Lovecraft's "The Hound". I have been under increasing amounts of stress lately as I prepare to publish a children's illuminated version of Ahbdul Alhazred's encyclopedic work known as "Necronomicon" (with illustrations and foreword by me). I am annoyed at the occasional sound of flapping that keeps coming over my right shoulder. It increasingly grows louder and more pronounced. I think I recognize it but can not be sure. I double-down in my artistic efforts whilst listening to the ghoulish tale. After some time, the noise grows distinct and nearly overwhelming. I stop and stare at the rice-paper "shogi" windows which separate me from exterior metal-and-glass storm windows. "Damn bats. Why don’t they go bother the neighbors?" I mutter. I rise to my feet, push aside the sliding paper windows, and then throw open the storm shutters. I see nothing but gloom and feel only the frigid wind and some small drops of rain. A shaft of lightning flickers from behind a silhouetted Mount Fuji. I suspect the night bats are outside seeking shelter from the gathering tempest. In the past, one or two have been known to find their way into my drawing room if a window has been carelessly left open. Removing errant bats is always a frightening experience not to be left to the squeamish. I generally allow the job to be performed by my wife. She employs a clever method of tossing a loose towel onto their disgusting, fury bodies whilst they hang upside down roosting in a set of curtains or an open closet. With unmatched bravery, unperturbed by any snapping from their grotesque twisted snouts, she wraps their slick, folded membranous wings and torsos with the towel, soothing them gently with her whispers, then carries them outside releasing them back into the wild Asian skies. Startled, I realize the incessant flapping is not coming from outside. No! It's a hoax and I’ve been shamelessly tricked. The source of these nocturnal beating wings is instead a digital sound effect which has cleverly been inserted into the story and is now reverberating from my Bose stereo surround-sound system in quadraphonic fashion. Embarrassed at myself for being played like a blathering fool I'm not ashamed to confess how completely relieved I am by this auditory revelation. I close the windows and manage to relax - not completely, but just enough - to listen to the story's conclusion and whilst resuming the scribbles of my art. As the story closes the room fills with an almost oppressive silence. I seek out and find my wife folding freshly laundered bath and kitchen cloths. I kiss her forehead grateful for her presence. In summary, I insist that all of these words I write are the unvarnished truth ... well, perhaps embellished just slightly. So to those who masterfully produced this fine story ... BRAVO. Job well done! Pooey! Enough of the praise. Time to continue my work and to listen to yet another Lovecraft story.
What a compliment, and so beautifully written! So glad you enjoyed this special. Also - agreeing with job um's comment - we would very much like to know when your children's Necronomicon is finished! Keep us posted. Jen
@job Um and @HorrorBabble: Alas ... like the grave robbers in the tale methinks I have been caught and my crime has been uncovered. That is the part I slightly embellished.
The photo of the white wolf is incredible. The sound effects you added enhanced the story. The tale surely is very suspenseful and a bit terrifying. I hope the main character makes it. Thank you so much Ian and Jenn for all your hard work. Take care♡
I don't understand why this channel gets so few views. It's superb! Flawless really. One can feel the energy and passion, - which many similar channels seem to lack, IMO.
Very nice Ian, i think the SFX and ambient music really add something - great read as ever, and one of my favorite HPL tales - the part where St.John gets torn up is so well executed...... no pun intended ;)
Thank you for another excellent narration of one of my favorite Lovecraft stories. I love it when you do the sound effects. It really adds to the atmosphere of the reading.
I stumbled across your channel during the beginning of the quarantine. Been going through all of your content on HP Lovecraft and some others. Really glad I found your channel. Your voice work is fantastic and the fact that you are revisiting these to add more to them is awesome! Thank you for your work :D
Well done, marvellous job. I especially liked it when he ran off idiotically from the grave and laughing hysterically. I really enjoyed this version 👍😁😆🐕
I really like the whole production of this. The narration is excellent, the intonation is perfect, and the music and FX fit the story so well. Oh, and I also enjoy the 'cover art'
The sfx are nice. I let that mix play almost every night as I go to bed. I hope you profit from it. I woke to that hound howling the other night and it didnt help me go back to bed but it was nice all the same. 👍
I really should have gotten to this sooner. It really is a favorite of your lovecraft readings. But so much was going on and I feel bad that I ignored you for so long. I won’t give you a novel but the summary is that I finally blocked some people and got back to writing. I guess it’s the statement of what are we leaving behind you know. As for what you left behind, it’s a classic adaptation that feels compatible with the words Howard has left. The added music most particularly giving me that feeling of a Louisiana winter. It’s odd to explain. But it’s dry as opposed to the summers heavy humidity, heavy overcast that comes from approaching rain. And the sound evokes the beckoning of wind which in hindsight is your first warning of never to approach. Whether coyote or sunken dead it’s best to leave it be. The story itself, me and my dad spoke about how this is the perfect idea of responsibility. People talk about character relatability, but what I love about This is that there is no questions of manners or likability. They made the choice to go to the tomb and covet it’s contents. This was going to be another day, another fetish, and another daily worship. But that was their choice. And it was their fate that they will be taken by the jaws of the hound. Now this would have made the characters total bastards in the grand scheme. But why we cared is because their fate we never wish on our enemies. It’s hard to convey it in film but it’s genuinely at home in literature. Sometimes we don’t even want our enemies to have such a fate. And we sit close listening to see if it did work out at the end. Or at least learn more of the hound. Sadly in this academic essay that is true to the writing style of our narrator, we can only hope he didn’t use the bullet. I appreciate this remaster like I do with all your work. It really helped throughout these months. Never lose your sense of accomplishment, you gave new life to old dreams. Hope you and miss Jennifer are doing well. And stay safe, halloween won’t be the same without both of you. -Rhett
Ian I love this new edition the music and sounds make it so much more thrilling to listen to. And your voice is just a dope cherry on top for the narrative
The evil, high pitched laugh in this adaptation is a serious contender for highest creepy quotient, threatening to dethrone the low laugh of the spectral tenant of Room 13 in...'Number 13", by MR James, performed masterfully btw.
Wonderful as usual, thank you so much🌺 PS: one pronunciation quibble- shouldn't you pronounce St John in the British way, ie: "Sinjin"...? I have this suspicion that Lovecraft would have thought of it this way - as he was Anglophile he was...
@@HorrorBabble Yay! I got an answer from Horrorbabble! Thanks for the acknowledgement 😊. And yes, "Singe" is just the way it should be shortened. Obviously.
Lately ive been listening to some of the ambient music that is associated with Lovecraft I’ve stumbled upon a story about a researcher that belongs to the transatlantic Institute and he goes to a remote location following a colleague who has disappeared and theyve discovered a subterranean species who communicates to them with the Pictish ogham please tell me what story this links in with its very distanctive
This appears to be original content by the 'Ruptured World' ambient project - not directly linked to a Lovecraft story, but drawing on the mythos and atmosphere.
Yeah we saw it a few months ago, it was a strong adaptation and a feast for the senses. It's not easy to adapt Lovecraft so we're looking forward to Stanley's next offering. Ian
Normally I love your readings, but I think this one is a little too... energetic. I think the narrator should sound more helpless and broken down. Just my opinion though. ^^ I listen to the Lovecraft playlist every day at work.

My goodness that background music track is perfect. Great mix of relaxing and uneasyness.

BATS IN MY BELFRY?
As I sit here in Japan inside a thin walled house with evening drawing and storm clouds gathering by the nearby shadowed Kanagawa mountains I steadily work on some artwork whilst listening to the gusting wind whistle through the tiled rooftop - and to this special edition of Lovecraft's "The Hound".
I have been under increasing amounts of stress lately as I prepare to publish a children's illuminated version of Ahbdul Alhazred's encyclopedic work known as "Necronomicon" (with illustrations and foreword by me).

Richard Rodgers I liked your piece right here and are you really making a kids necronomicon. If so please tell me how I can buy one
What a compliment, and so beautifully written! So glad you enjoyed this special. Also - agreeing with job um's comment - we would very much like to know when your children's Necronomicon is finished! Keep us posted. Jen

I would love to see the end result of your publishing!!
Excellent. Although you didn't use 'eldritch' even once. 😯
I absolutely love these special edition readings! I hope there is more to come.
more special editions PLEASE - the sfx and music makes all the difference
Loved it! The pop of the gunshot at the end genuinely gave me chills, its awesome when you guys do dramatic adaptations like this!
Glad you enjoyed it! Jen
I should be asleep, but this is the next best thing
Falling asleep to these tho
I deff agree 100% its 130am and im going to the next vid lol

Thanks for the lovely comment Amy! So happy you enjoyed this special edition. All the best to you too. Jen
Jen did spectacular work on the audio in this story. That, with the ambient music, made this more than just a Lovecraft reading. I love these ones!
One of my favourite Lovecraft short stories. Thanx for the updated version 🙏🏻♥️
You are most welcome! Jen
I don't understand why this channel gets so few views. It's superb! Flawless really. One can feel the energy and passion, -

Yay! I love lovecraft💕
Beautifully done!! One of my favorites!!

Great to hear from you, RR!
HorrorBabble always happy to give X3
I love falling asleep to your readings. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Very well narrated
Amazing, thank you Jen and Ian!!
Ian I love this new edition the music and sounds make it so much more thrilling to listen to. And your voice is just a dope cherry on top for the narrative
Man, I really wish I could see this museum of theirs IRL.
Gave me chills great job !
One of my favorites!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Such great content! I LOVE HorrorBabble
Excellent! Thank you for continuing to produce great spooky content during this difficult time.
I haven't heard the normal but I like this a lot. I can tell you pour your heart into these readings.
Truly horrifying tale
The first time I ever heard this story, the way you hit "BLOW OUT MY BRAINS" made me go, "oh wow ok, time to pay attention" lol
If "Blow out my brains" is an Americanism, it is at its best when Ian pronounces it in his non-American dialect-accent-inflection
Thanks much for the reading. Two thumbs up.
Fantastic edition of one of my favorite short readings, well done.
I love this. You guys makes work bearable.
Excellent as Always,Thank you,two.❤💙
Really like this story, glad to see it revamped
Awesome a lovecraft classic!thanks ian hope you are keeping well dude!👍
Very well done, I hope you do more of these. Thank you!
Very well done. Thank you
The evil, high pitched laugh in this adaptation is a serious contender for highest creepy quotient, threatening to dethrone the low laugh of the spectral tenant of Room 13 in...'Number 13", by MR James, performed masterfully btw.
"Somber philosophy of the decadents." I love that line
What a wonderful work!
Will you be giving more of the special edition treatment to other stories?
Yes ... I agree. Please. We need Special Editions badly. Seriously.
Absolutely! We'll be trying to post one a month. Jen
Nice effects certain ambience intriguing
Well, that's going out with a bang at least.
Excellent series!!!
One more video - oh go on then
Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
the flapping bat sounds like getting the last bit of toothpaste out the tube.
Haha!
Video of said sound effects to follow.
I love this channel, but that bat sound felt like spikes being driven into my ears
I love your ambient music, Ian! If you could humor me, where did you learn to do this stuff, and where could an amateur start?
Blimey… I just work things out through a process of trial and error - my life story!
@@HorrorBabble Well, you're obviously doing something right! I'll have to try feeling my way through it. Thanks for the inspiration 👌
Very Lovecrafty
Did you do the outsider? Great stuff. Thank you all.
Wonderful as usual, thank you so much🌺
PS: one pronunciation quibble- shouldn't you pronounce St John in the British way, ie: "Sinjin"...?
I have this suspicion that Lovecraft would have thought of it this way - as he was Anglophile he was...
Thank you! We missed that when we recorded the story back in 2017... Next time, we'll call him 'Singe'. ;) Ian
@@HorrorBabble Yay! I got an answer from Horrorbabble! Thanks for the acknowledgement 😊.

Hey Ian, have you seen colors out of space ? I you did, how was it ? Thank you for your great works, i listen to you everyday 😎👍
Yeah we saw it a few months ago, it was a strong adaptation and a feast for the senses. It's not easy to adapt Lovecraft so we're looking forward to Stanley's next offering. Ian
I think I could listen to Ian read the dictionary and it would be entertaining.
13:49 quoth the hound
"Nevermore"
Oh dear, you have fallen for one of the English Shibboleths - the forename name St. John is pronounced "Sin'jun" in England.
Redrum
His name is pronounced "Sinjin" or "Sinjon," fyi :)
Thanks! I corrected the pronunciation in my 2023 recording of the story.
Normally I love your readings, but I think this one is a little too... energetic. I think the narrator should sound more helpless and broken down. Just my opinion though. ^^ I listen to the Lovecraft playlist every day at work.
Isn't it pronounced Sin-jin instead of Saint John?
It is! For some reason, we overlooked it. Never again!
These two were like, the ultimate proto-hipsters.
♥️🙏🏽🎩🇲🇽
Why do I hear someone farting in the background?
You fool! Warren's had beans...
