Ergebnis für "The Hound" in Horror

"Wir gingen immer sehr gewissenhaft vor. Schließlich waren wir keine vulgären Grabräuber. Für uns war es eine Art künstlerische Ausdrucksform. Ein Tanz mit dem Tod, bei dem alles passen musste. Die Stimmung, die Landschaft, das Wetter, die Jahreszeit. Je morbider das Ambiente war, desto größer war der Nervenkitzel. Der Tod gab uns das Gefühl, lebendig zu sein." - Robert Warford. Es ist eine der düstersten Geschichten von H.P. Lovecraft, dem Meister des Horrors. Diese moderne und unheimliche Adaption von Oliver Döring macht "The Hound" zu einem ganz besonderen akustischen Grusel-Erlebnis.
