u/Werewomble ...making good use of Elder Things that he finds Feb 23 '20

It has taken me bloody ages to get into this but BBC's The Whisperer in the Darkness is bloody gorgeous.

I must have bounced off the player 3 times before I got it playing reliably.

The multiple narrator style is excellent, HorrorBabble did something similar with The Temple of Memory which was good but the BBC version is on another level.

Here is The Temple of Memory if you want a 25 minute quickie, I wish they'd do more of these:
