We’ve been strong supporters on Dread Central of Cadabra Records, the boutique record label that takes classic horror stories and converts them into audio adaptations for vinyl. Today, they’ve announced that they are going to release H.P. Lovecraft’s The Picture in the House as read by Lovecraftian scholar Andrew Leman. But the cherry on top of that sundae is the fact that The Beyond and Zombie, among others, composer Fabio Frizzi has created an original score for the vinyl!
Cadabra Records founder Jonathan Dennison states, “To have the pleasure of working with maestro Fabio Frizzi is a dream. His work on this production is not just iconic, but something of pure nightmare. Frizzi understands the power and significance of Lovecraft’s fiction and has brought us a score like no other.”
Frizzi himself adds, “H.P. Lovecraft has been the inspirer of many directors with whom I worked, first among all Lucio Fulci. He’s a legendary writer I already knew very well, having to deal now directly with him has been a fascinating and demanding experience.”
From the official press release:
This deluxe LP is cased with beautifully commissioned art by Jeremy Hush and also includes an 8 page booklet with new liner notes written by S.T. Joshi (a leading scholar on weird fiction), composition notes by Fabio Frizzi, and more. Of note to the ultimate vinyl collector – a very limited liquid “blood”-filled edition will be offered among other variants. All in all, a unique and ultimate edition of of pure Lovecraftian terror.
You can pre-order The Picture in the House via Cadabra Records prior to its October 13th release date.
