Aaron Vanek’s student film The Outsider was the first movie to play at the first H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival®. Subsequent movies screening at the HPLFF include My Necronomicon, Return to Innsmouth, The Yellow Sign, and Call of Tutu. He was awarded the “Howie” in 2001 for contributions to Lovecraft Cinema, and he founded and co-hosted the HPLFF in San Pedro (Los Angeles) from 2010-2016. Upcoming projects include contributions to the Dreamlands RPG by Jason Bradley Thompson, and a crowdfund to remaster and re-release a compilation of his weird tale movies. See also: AaronVanek.com and SpectacularDisasterFactory.com
