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)
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.
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!
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.
