Legendary movie icon Roger Corman will be in attendance at the 2011 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival® to accept the "Howie" award for contributions to Lovecraft cinema.

Corman was the first director to tackle Lovecraft with his 1963 adaptation of "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" as The Haunted Palace, starring Vincent Price.

We will be screening The Haunted Palace at this year's festival.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2011 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival here.
