Overview[]

The impact of a meteorite on a remote Massachusetts farm unleashes a strange and disturbing series of events. Before men of science from Miskatonic University can determine what it is, the space rock apparently evaporates. But terrible changes overtake the farm and its inhabitants, propelling them on a horrific course of desolation, madness, and death. The sole surviving witness to the events unwinds a chilling and disturbing tale of cosmic horror.

Running to just over 77 minutes, The Colour Out of Space is available as both a jewel-case compact disc and a digital download. As with all Dark Adventure Radio Theatre productions it is presented in the style of a 1930s radio broadcast, and a set of period-authentic immersive aids is available. These include:

  • The photo of the impact crater made by the Colour Out of Space from the Boston Daily Advertiser.
  • A letter written by one of the professors involved in the investigation.
  • An official document from the Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission on the construction of the new reservoir.
  • Nahum Gardner's last will and testament.
