VILLAINY or H. H. Holmes' Own Story (streaming with live Q&A)

Event

Remember what it's like to see a spooky play in an actual theater? Get your popcorn and beverages ready, and have a seat in our virtual auditorium for a spectacle that Rue Morgue Magazine called "a chillingly intense show." Villainy or H. H. Holmes' Own Story!

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

Guest

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is a rock band from British Columbia who's main body of music consists largely of often tongue-in-cheek homages to the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Even the band's name is drawn from a phrase in Lovecraft's story The Tomb.

They sporadically perform live, and have performed concerts with many other bands including GWAR, They Might Be Giants, and Portland's own Giant Bug Village.

Jan Roth

Jan Roth is the executive producer on Die Farbe (2011) and upcoming feature The Dreamlands. Roth is also a visual effects artist, and has worked on films such as Captain Marvel, Doctor Sleep, and Lovecraft Country.
