Panel Discussion: The Challenges of conveying Cosmic Horror in film

Schedule block

Panel Topic: What are the challenges of putting cosmic horror on screen?  We often talk about Lovecraft as being hard to adapt to film because so much of what happens in the story happens inside the character's head. Modern filmmakers seem to be doing a pretty good job at putting this combination of psychological horror and cosmic revelation on the screen. Our panel of filmmakers will discuss how they approached this, what they think the key elements are, and who they think has done this very successfully.
