Surprise once-in-a-lifetime screening
Schedule block

We can't tell you what it is. However, the film we're screening is a rare treat, and is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to view a lost rarity based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft. This is the first (and only) time it will be shown in the US with English subtitles, with a very special intro and Q&A. Don't miss it. We're serious.

Night Gallery: the H. P. Lovecraft episodes

Rod Serling's Night Gallery anthology series was known for its stories of the macabre and supernatural. It was a perfect fit for adapting some of H. P. Lovecraft's stories to the small screen. Here, we present "Cool Air" and "Pickman's Model" in all their 1971, 4:3 picture ratio glory!

Short Film Block 6.5 - NSFW w/Q&A
Schedule block

Every now and then we get a few short films that are on the more risqué side, but are also extremely well filmed and "get" cosmic horror. Lovecraft never included and rarely alluded to sex in his stories. So, why do so many authors, artists, and filmmakers find Lovecraft and Sex so intertwined? We have thoughts about this... but, we'd rather show you. Be aware, these films contain nudity and sexual situations, in varying degrees.

Presentation: Who is No. 118?
Schedule block

While it's technically not possible to figure out the identity of HPL's ultimate necromancer-killing undead badass from the Case of Charles Dexter Ward, presenter Jess Gulbranson has done just that. This presentation will look at some of the many guesses that the fandom has entertained itself with for over 90 years, and then sum up the available evidence for the best possible suspect, who is no mythological wizard, but a real legend from the history of science. Follow Gulbranson as he travels from dabbling in calligraphy, to madness, revelation, and beyond!
