The Colour Out of Space (part 2)

We’re back, and we’re wrapping up our discussion of H P Lovecraft’s eerie mix of the Gothic and the cosmic, The Colour Out of Space. This time we’re looking at various adaptations, as well as deciding what we would steal for our games (the answer is almost everything — we’re shameless). In particular, we talk about the various film versions: * Die, Monster, Die! (USA, 1965) * The Curse (USA, 1987) * Colour From the Dark (Italy, 2008) * Die Farbe (Germany, 2010) We also discuss a few related films and TV programmes: * The Dunwich Horror (USA, 1970) * Curse II: The Bite (USA, 1989) * Quatermass II (UK, 1955) * The Blob (USA, 1958) * The Blob (USA, 1988) * Creepshow (USA, 1982) * Doctor Who: The Seeds of Doom (UK, 1976) * The Thing (USA, 1982) And we mention the H P Lovecraft Historical Society‘s Dark Adventure Radio Theatre performance of The Colour Out of Space. Unfortunately none of us have listened to it yet, but if it’s up to the standards of their other adaptations, it should be something special! We round things off with an interview with Huan Vu, director of Die Farbe. His is the most faithful adaptation of The Colour Out of Space so far, and certainly the one we all enjoyed most. Huan tells us a little about the making of the film, his background in gaming,
