  • The End is Nigh!

    News story

    LovecraftShades_me.png Yes the rumors are true... I will be retiring (or going on sabbatical for awhile), this October festival will be my last as a director. I have been running this festival for 15 years and am out of sanity points. So what does this mean? Well Aaron Vanek has started a satellite festival in LA which will become an annual event. The Portland event is in limbo until I can find someone to replace me.

  • Oh the Spam...

    News story

    We apologize to all those of you have been trying to email us here at the festival. We've had D.O.S. attacks on several of our email boxes thanks to all those spammers out there. Still getting 1000's of emails. We are blocking IPs and it should settle down. So again sorry if you sent anything in the last couple of weeks and if we haven't responded. cheers

  • HPLFF-Portland 2012

    News story

    We will be forming a new steering committee and executive committee for the HPLFF Portland festival in early 2011.

    Director Stuart Gordon (Re-animator, Feed, Stuck) and director David Prior (AM 1200) will be on the committee with others to be named.

    The current plan is to have the Portland festival in early May of 2012 which pushes out the Portland festival by 6 months from where it has traditionally been held. The plan is also to have the executive committee and positions flushed out by March of 2011.
