Well done but... the actors don't sound true.
But really well done, the sounds, the picture. Even the face of "Lovecraft" couls work.

Clever that they attribute the makers of the film to the WPA, which did do a wide variety of things, including traveling around the country recording American cultural "artifacts". Though HPL wasn't very well known at the time, I can just see some rep from the WPA who had read some of HPL's stories, tracking him down and interviewing him.

aw, i thought this was real for a minute. What a shame. Very cool and fun little piece of work for us Lovecraft fans, tho.

It's not supposed to be video--it's supposed to be film.

The first true sound films were made in 1929. By 1933, practically all films were made with sound.

Actually, the first sound film was in 1927; although it took a few years after that for silent films to disappear, they were largely defunct by 1933.
