A lifelong Lovecraft fan, Rick can be found lurking about any number of eldritch Seattle haunts, committing unspeakable acts of depravity. A few of these blasphemous creations even see the light of day, such as the shorts and feature films he has been a part of that have shown at the HPLFF since 2003. His most recent cinematic outing is this year’s “The Shunned House,” a creepy little tale based on the Old Gent’s story, which he produced and scored. He has also been known to publish weird horror magazines and publications (Stra­nge Aeons, “The Wet Nurse”) from time to time, as well as take part in musical cacophonies such as Brain Hornet and Dinsdale.
