Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Horror in the Museum (Episode 25)

Length: 1h 17m

Steven Jones, an entertainment producer from Chicago, journeys to London in search of new attractions. There he discovers the strange and disturbing wax museum of George 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 motif of the statue-come-to-life has been frequently used in literature, from the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion to the legend of the Golem to the fairy tale of Pinocchio. In his tale of Rhan-Tegoth, HPL turns the trope upside-down and makes George Rodgers into a reverse Geppetto. Although Hazel Heald provided the initial synopsis for the story, the finished tale is almost entirely the work of Lovecraft.
