Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® - The Dreams in the Witch House

This story has always been near the top of my list from HPL and this adaptation really hits all the high notes. The atmosphere is great for one of the darker tales in the mythos. Cheers

Love this adaptation especially the quality sound work. As when Gilman begins to hear the sounds of the Witch and company from the other side of the walls. The sound work added another dimension to the overall presentation. As always, the acting was excellent, and the production aspects were on point as usual. I would highly recommend this episode.

Great

“The Dreams in the Witch-House” short story may not enjoy the most favourable reputation among Lovecraft enthusiasts, but it was a tale I took to from the first, probably thanks to my background in the physical sciences, and the way Lovecraft, as so often, skilfully blended fact and fiction in it. Adapting it as a DART production, while needing changes to make it work for the audio medium, has been equally well done, retaining much of the original’s weirdness, and giving fresh life to the denizens of the House and its neighbourhood. I’m sure I’m not alone in finding perhaps the creepiest moment was the final remark by Fr. Ivanicki (Time Winters) to the bereft, seemingly doomed, narrator Frank Elwood (Sean Branney), near the end of the show! As with all the DART adaptations, the props the physical product arrives with are half the wonder, here including a photo of the desiccated remains of Brown Jenkin, complete with its Miskatonic U. Accession Card - another mystery for folklorist Wilmarth, as noted on it - part of Keziah Mason’s trial transcript, a news-cutting concerning what was found during the demolition of the House, and, most intriguingly, a page from Walter Gilman’s notes, in which (is it just me?) two diagrams look like something akin to a certain Shining Trapezohedron in form...

I love this story and this DART production makes it so much more fun to listen too! The props that come with this are amazing and really let you interact with the story in a way that makes this even more enjoyable to listen too!
