See the films shown at the very first H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival, followed by a Q&A, including rarely-heard stories of the early years of the festival.
Come see all of our author guests in one place, chat with your favorites, buy their latest books, and get 'em signed, all while enjoying some free coffee, tea, and Cthul... erm, bagels and other snacks. Food and drink are limited, so come early and get your nosh on... for literature!
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.
Need something to get you going during the day on Friday before the festival starts? We've reserved a section at Portland's greatest gaming store just for you to play a variety of Lovecraftian tabletop games. It's open play, so come on by Guardian Games and select from their massive library of Cthulhu board games, card games, and more!
You can sign up for a spot in a game on Warhorn, or just come and borrow one of the 600 games from the Guardian Games library!
Join us for a Gala Night at the Cinema, 1920s-style! This once-in-a-lifetime event will open the festival with singing, dancing, burlesque, and amusement, before we get on to the serious business of news from the 1920s, a short presentation of the silent film, "The Old Man and The Goblins," and a special 10th Anniversary screening of the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society's "The Call of Cthulhu."
