Sean Patrick O'Reilly, writer/director of the upcoming animated feature film Howard Lovecraft & the Frozen Kingdom will show a segment of the movie at the fest and talk about bringing his company Arcana's graphic novel to the silver screen. Maybe you and yours can get a picture with "Spot" (or a Shoggoth?).
Beware! the Ides of March. On the 15th the HPLFF Kickstarter will go dormant, as will your chance to get Mike Dubowski's art on a poster, shirt (denizens of Dunwich often chose a work shirt), or wine goblet. Get in while you can! http://kck.st/1SNaCjd
After that, it would be two more revolutions of Hyperion around Saturn before Yog Sothoth will return . . . to SAN PEDRO!
HPLFF San Pedro Store has swag available from the Fest.
men's women's T-shirts $20 Poster $5
Goblets and glasses for your elixir of eternal life $25
Kickstarter backers, a "loathsome night-spawned flood of organic corruption more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and morbidity," have opened the gates for the Elder Gods to the Warner Grand. The HPLFF Kickstarter 2016 raised more than $16,250 to ensure a most eldritch time. You backers have prompted entry of the Yellow bEast Joe S Pulver to share tales of dim Carcosa.
The general schedule is up, filled with innumerable (well not actually, there are a finite number) of Lovecraftian short films. Get tickets for all three days-- you don't want to miss Lovecraft Trivia, Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, Dunwich Horror Picture Show, or the Cthulhu Prayer Breakfast.
Each day goes late and particularly on Saturday starts early.
Driven by a sentience from down below, Inky the Octopus escaped his enclosure through a small opening. He slid across the floor during the night and squeezed his body through a narrow pipe leading to open water. A trail of slime and ichor was all that was left. Octopuses have broken out of sealed observation containers and closed aquariums; some escaped multiple times to eat the inhabitants of nearby aquariums. Whispers of the Great Lord' Cthulhu's awakening have circled the globe. Inky, not wanting to miss His invocation, chose to ride the El Nino currents. We fear for Inky's safety.
This sunday, HPLFF will commemorate the 90th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu at Monsterpalooza. Featuring a panel of Lovecraftian film artists Pete von Sholly, Sean Branney, Kevin McTurk, Mallory O'Meara, Paul Komoda
The San Pedro Festival 2016 is over. Our "most accursed rites of human blasphemy... called him for a moment" and then was gone. Rites that included the base lamentations of writers awed and horrified at our cosmic insignificance, artists creating new works while merchants sold strange artifacts. Friday was the twin hammers to the head of Black Mountain Side and The Mist. Walpurgisnacht Saturday had panels and a NEW play adaptation of The Colour Out of Space, and the psycho freakout of The Dunwich Horror Picture Show.
Predicted in ages gone by, the Lovecraft Arts and Science Council (organizers of the biennial NecronomiCon Providence) serve as host for the stricken minds of the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival® – Portland organizers. The blasphemous result is 3 days of Lovecraftian film and activities, including author readings, panels, and vendors. The stars align around HPL's birthday August 19-21st in his hometown of Providence RI. Join the Facebook event for ongoing news.
