Pinhead Does Lovecraft

Actor Doug Bradley, famous for playing Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, has voiced a reading of one of Lovecraft's early stories, The Outsider.

A video accompanies the 16-minute reading, which is unfortunately hit and miss. The rolling artwork in the background is great, but the frequent jarring cuts to Bradley while he stands in awkward poses and reads from an autocue seems a little unnecessary. Now, if Bradley was kicking back in an armchair by a fireplace, smoking a pipe, and reading from a big ol' book, then we'd have a winner. Bonus points if he dons the Pinhead garb.
