The 2008 H.P. Lovecraft Film Fest Starts Today!



And I'm going to miss it. I was a bonehead and scheduled a trip to the beach with the wife and baby right in the middle of this year's Film Fest, but we really do need to get outta town for awhile. Still, I'm sad I'm not gonna be there. This event has grown by leaps and bounds every year; it's truly an incredible thing. The H.P. Lovecraft Film Fest is one of those strange celebrations that keeps Portland wild, weird and fun.

I am very sad that I do not live in Portland at this time of year. If you're not going, it's your constitutional duty to make sure someone does!

so, the Dunwich Horror transplanted from one coast to the other will be shown, I take it?

And Reanimator.

ha! great parody poster.

ironic, too, since wasn't Lovecraft a racist and anti-semite? i wonder what he would think of a President Obama?

Just how many Lovecraft tales have found their way to the screen, anyway?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that H.P. Lovecraft stated that he didn't want any of his works made into movies. He complained that he went to see early horror films and kept falling asleep. That's one of the reasons he started writing horror...to prove he could do better.
