Return of The Lurkers: Return to Innsmouth with Aaron Vanek
Made on a shoestring budget, this ambitious sequel to Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth was made by one of the festival's original "Lurkers." Check out this rarity on the big screen, introduced and with a Q&A by director Aaron Vanek, plus tales from other members of the cast and crew.
