I am attempting a short film adaption of "The Hound".
Wanted to get detailed feedback from HPL fans here about some things in the story to help flesh it out.
Any feedback and/ or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thnx
Ron |

| Were you going pretty much right off the story line? Or were you planning to use an adaption of it? |

With the exception of these lines:
"though at one point I encountered a queer interruption; when a lean vulture darted down out of the cold sky and pecked frantically at the grave-earth until I killed him with a blow of my spade"
It will be literaly a line for line adaption.
I would take it line for line shot by shot with the help of this forum to make sure I am getting things right
I have seen the Thoth version and I am convinced I can deliver a faster and more horrifying film. |

Ron,
I would also like to offer my help with your film. If I'm unable to answer your questions myself, I have many experienced contacts that I can draw information from. Do you have any specific questions you need answered?
I've only seen one previous adaptation of The Hound (directed by Anthony Penta), and know of two others in production (an animated one by Nick Gains and a film version by Woodruff Laputka), so I'm curious as to what the 'Thoth version' is?
Hope I can help...
Take care,
Craig
