Entry to this event was made available for our Kickstarter backers who pledged $100+, but we said if any seats were left, we'd put them on sale to other attendees, and their are a modest number of tickets left. NOTE: In addition to a Cthulhu Prayer Breakfast ticket, you will also need a festival pass (3-day or single day) to attend the breakfast. Click here for more info and to purchase your tickets. (limit 2 per order).
Cody Goodfellow and Robert M. Price will preside over a morning ritual involving the scalding juice of blackened berries, roasted beasts, and the unborn offspring of flying creatures (as well as a few vegetarian selections) on Saturday morning, May 4th, from 9-11 am at the Columbia River Brewing Company (easy walking distance from the theatre). It's a chance to enjoy some excellent food, laugh your tentacles off, and mingle with our festival guests.
Shot as one huge Lovecraftian epic by director José Luis Alemán, the Valdemar Legacy and The Forbidden Shadow are big-budget love letters to the world of H.P. Lovecraft, containing everything from the Necronomicon and a family curse to Aleister Crowely, H.P. Lovecraft (as a character in the film), and even Great Cthulhu himself. This is also the last screen appearance of genre great Paul Naschy.

Our Kickstarter was a great success! Over 200 people pledged to our cause and got themselves unique merchandise, like our backer-only glow-in-the-dark Lurker T-shirt, special lapel pins, and much more. The Lovecraft community is truly the greatest on the planet. Thanks for helping to make this a truly epic festival. Click here to check out the (finished) Kickstarter campaign.

In addition to celebrating cinematic adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft and his contemporaries, the festival has a strong history of showcasing films by creators who have been heavily inspired by Lovecraft. We're proud to announce that we will be featuring the Pacific Northwest premiere of Clive Barker's Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut, presented by restoration director Russell Cherrington, who will also be available for Q&A.
Tickets for the festival will go on sale in early March, but you can reserve your place now to experience this amazing premiere by clicking here to support our Kickstarter campaign.
Only seen in a few cities in the US, this edition restores nearly an hour of footage that was previously thought lost and with it restores Barker's original vision for the film.
The original theatrical version of Nightbreed was removed from Clive Barker's directorial control and heavily cut and reworked by the studio, creating an extremely watered down monster movie for mass consumption. Restoring this film required not just the insertion of lost footage, but also voice dubbing by some of the original actors, including Doug Bradley. The Cabal Cut was directed by Russell Cherrington, Edited by Jimmi Johnson, and Produced by Mark Miller (Seraphim).
Don't miss the Pacific Northwest premiere of this landmark film restoration! For more information about the new version of this monstrous masterwork, visit Occupy Midian.
