I was in the hospital earlier this week getting my appendix removed... and of course it couldn't be a normal appendix... I think the festival is warping my mind and body... the appendix was according to the doctor a pseudopod wrapping around the large intestine measure a foot or more. Can't wait to see the pathologist report next week. I unfortunately will not be running around like a mad man and will have to take it easy... please do not hug me as all sorts of vileness may occur.
More updates in the works... in the meanwhile online ticketing is available.
SpookySpookyScaryScary is the episodic tale of CHUCK and DEXTER: best-friends, roommates and huge fans of horror author H.P. Lovecraft. But when the Great god CTHULHU sends Chuck a dream, the duo form the world's worst cult ever. Armed only with the power of the internet, cheap beer, small daggers and poor social skills they vow to spread the bad word that CTHULHU IS REAL!! A brutally sharp tale of obsession, fantasy and the comic horror of reality!
I am sure by now you have seen splashed on the pages of Variety and echoed in most blogs and news sites that there is a chance that the graphic novel "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft" may be made into a movie.
So I ask the lurkers... what do you think? Will Ron beat del Toro to the punch and be the first to make a major Hollywood Lovecraft based production?
Having gone to ComicCon for the last 4 years I wasn't sure if they were ever going to finish the graphic novel. So hats off.
Here is a link to an interview with the graphic novel creators on MTV: MTV Interview/Preview
