H. P. LOVECRAFT FILM FESTIVAL INVADES YOUR LIVING ROOM WITH COSMIC HORRORS!
The H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival® of Cosmic Horror Streaming Edition goes Live this Friday, October 18th, with 50 Independent Cosmic Horror Films!
The 30th Annual H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival is now taking place September 19-21st on all three screens of the Hollywood Theatre.
Originally scheduled two weeks later, the Hollywood Theatre encountered a booking issue with an upcoming program that is critical to their work and fundraising for the Hollywood historic film district project. The Hollywood Theatre needs to commit to a full run of the program with multiple day/night showings for several weeks without interruption, which interferes with our festival.

This year we've moved off of the Kickstarter platform and built our own system at Arkham Bazaar, to reduce some of the usual bottlenecks, as well as fees, so that all of your support dollars flow directly to the festival.
