  • Shorts Block 6: NSFW

    Schedule block

    Lovecraft never included and rarely alluded to sex in his stories. So, why do so many authors, artists, and filmmakers find Lovecraft and Sex so intertwined? We have thoughts about this... but, we'd rather show you an hour of explicitly sexually Lovecraftian films. Be aware, all of these films contain nudity and sexual situations, in varying degrees. We think they're worth seeing, but parents with children and others that don't like to mix sex with their HPL may want to sit these films out... but that's a choice only you can make for your family and your eyeballs.
