October 3-4-5, 2008 • Hollywood Theatre, Portland Oregon
The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival promotes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, literary horror, and weird tales through the cinematic adaptations by professional and amateur filmmakers. The festival was founded in 1995 by Andrew Migliore in the hope that H.P. Lovecraft would be rightly recognized as a master of gothic horror and his work more faithfully adapted to film and television.
We are down in San Diego for the annual ComicCon. If you are down here as well don't miss Lovecraft: The Fear of the Unknown documentary this Thursday at 8:00pm.
As you can see we are busy at work revamping our website for 2008. Please email us or leave comments telling us what you think. As you can see some of the links or pages are not completely functioning yet, so we appreciate your patience.
Special guests this year are author Brian Lumley (one of the Old Ones), artist Mike Mignola (Hellboy Creator!), actor Robert Lloyd Perry, and the eldritch sounds of The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.
We are also very pleased to have authors Michael Shea, S.T. Joshi, Robert M. Price, Stanley Sergeant, Scott Connors, and Willum Pugmire joing us for panels and readings.
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is a rock band from British Columbia who's main body of music consists largely of often tongue-in-cheek homages to the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Even the band's name is drawn from a phrase in Lovecraft's story The Tomb.
Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane is being made into a comic book series from Dark Horse (and is also being turned into a movie).
Dark Horse's original Conan editor, Scott Allie, writes the series, with art by Mario Guevara and Dave Stewart, who reinvents his revolutionary color technique from Conan.
