2008 Portland Events
The 2008 HPLFF is proud to present the critically acclaimed one-man show performed by Robert Lloyd Parry showcasing the atmospheric retelling of two of the earliest and greatest tales by M R James - the master of the English ghost story.
Come join us for an eldritch experience as Brian Lumley reads House of Cthulhu and then fields some Q&A.
This year's H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival features a real live wedding (our fifth)! The Festival has become a true community of friends who eagerly wait out the year to see one another again, and sometimes among such kindred spirits deeper bonds form. Last year saw our friend Mars, maestro of the macabre, make the acquaintance of Victoria Price, daughter of Lovecraft scholar Robert M. Price.
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.
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets descend upon Portland once again with their own brand of Cthulhuoid punk rock. Admission is free with day or weekend festival pass. Show starts around 12:30am.
Meet the creator behind the successful Hellboy character. Here is your chance to ask Mike those questions you always feared to know the answers to. Mike will also be joined by Dark Horse editor Scott Allie and Rue Morgue editor Jovanka Vuckovic.
Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse. Following his critically acclaimed one-man show A Pleasing Terror Robert Lloyd Parry brings two more of James' classic spine-chillers back to life.
Friday night from 12:30am to 2:00am come join us for drinks at Tony Starlight's and an open mic were you can hear Lovecratian stories, tall tales, poems, and eerie personal accounts.
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.
