"You still think it’s all a fraud! You still think I made It, eh?  You think my greatest figures are nothing but lifeless wax? "


Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® presents Hazel Heald and H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale of waxen horror in a 1930s-style radio drama. The story lurches to life with a cast of professional actors, thrilling sound effects and an original orchestral score by Reber Clark.

Steven Jones, an entertainment producer from Chicago, journeys to London in search of new acts. There he discovers the strange and disturbing wax museum of Rodgers and his inscrutable associate Orabona. Is the mad artist able to conjure up the world's most horrifying waxen effigies through his occult inspirations, or is there a darker secret lurking behind the wax and paint? 

The CD edition will feature the 70-ish minute audio show plus a collection of props to enhance your listening experience.

Dark, Radio Horror at its Best!

As always, the HPLHS has done it again. And it always jaunts me to another aspect of space and time, where Arkham is a real place, and a pleasant escape from the horrors of our so-called ‘reality.’ With Dark Adventure Radio Theatre, I’m able to descend into a world of magic and existential, cosmic terror that has been calling me for years. Well done, ladies and gentlemen, yet another masterpiece! May Mister Lovecraft bless you all!

Well worth the listen

This is one of the few Lovecraft stories I haven't read, but the dramatization was nonetheless up to the exceptional standards of DART. Well crafted, and well acted.

They've done it again!

Once again the HPLHS has knocked it out of the block with a breath-taking radio drama. Not only do we get to hear Sean Branney in all his cockney glory (I mean that in a good way!), but David Pavao gets to take center stage. I've enjoyed David since his Brotherhood of the Beast part of Jordan Lowell. Everyone involved does a suprurb job as always.
Do youself a favor and pick up a Dark Adventure Radio Drama today!

Good Twist at the End

This adaptation stays fairly close to the original story, adding a final twist to their adaptations of Lovecraft’s stories, making his downer endings just a little bit darker. This tale about the price of achieving immortality through works of art gets an extra boost from this adaptation. The cast and crew add much in the way of atmosphere and dialog which help bring to life one of Lovecraft's lesser works. (For me at least.)
