Ancient friends, a vague impression of a dark nether world of subterrene mystery is projected in the old movie house the Warner Grand. When the thin coating of fine blue-grey dust settles a shade of a long-dead living thing might be raised up. Thus begins The Age of Yogg Sothoth and the HP Lovecraft Film Festival San Pedro.

Lovecraft's influence on literature, comics and film was celebrated at Wondercon. Michelle Brittany reports, "Not a surprise, the room was packed to the gills." While presented as an exploration of arcane lore, a few suspect it is the first convocation on the West Coast to bring the return of the Old Ones. Be there when it happens!

Innumerable tentacles up for film selections

 It's a really, really great selection this year. So much so that we will be showing films throughout Saturday AND Sunday. Genre bending Sci-Western, Noir-Horror, and War-diabolique. Live action, stop motion, all paper, bunraku. India, Spain, Panama. Cthulhu's tentacles are everywhere! Los Angeles and World premiers. Do not miss this year!

Searchers after horror will pay a small price for entry into the macabre and fantastic celebration of HP Lovecraft. On the 125th anniversary of his birth, experience more than 50 years of years of filmmaking, meet the filmmakers, artists and authors exploring the path that Lovecraft blazed. Choose your ticket to a shoggoth load of films, art, apparel, gaming, books, drag kink cabaret, live radio theatre, naughty burlesque, and of course breakfast!

Once inside the price on your sanity, soul, and nerves cannot be predicted nor negotiated.

This year's model

 The Kickstarter campaign is a success.  Yog Sothoth's materialization in San Pedro appears inevitable. Do not worry if you missed out on the preparation. You still have an opportunity to partake or be taken. Open the gate and experience the unfathomable (also great films, literature, art, and striptease)

Leslie Klinger (l) and Kenneth Hite (r)

Two of the smartest guys in the room, Kenneth Hite, author of Tour de Lovecraft, the Trail of Cthulhu RPG, and The Dracula Dossier, and Leslie S. Klinger, editor of the New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, and The New Annotated Dracula, join the roster of scholars at the inaugural CthulhuCon PDX. Mr. Hite and Mr. Klinger will be taking part in panel discussions and other activities that will thrill you with their insights into the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft.

H.P. Lovecraft in his current brain shell, actor Leeman Kessler

We are pleased to announce that H.P. Lovecraft* himself will be a featured guest at CthulhuCon in April! You'll have the chance to pick his brain during a LIVE edition of Ask Lovecraft (www.asklovecraft.com), and may even have the chance to play a game or two with the man who started it all!

* Mr. Lovecraft will be appearing as his intrepid character, Leeman Kessler, whom he describes as a Nigerian-born actor living in Canada with his wife Rachel and daughter Amanda. Mr. Kessler has been performing as H.P. Lovecraft, since 2010, on stage and online with his web-series Ask Lovecraft. This will be his first time in Portland. You can hear him and his wife on their podcast, "Geekually Yoked."
