Our last feature presentation is a full Sneak Preview of The Fall of Usher, which weaves the tales of Poe (including Masque of The Red Death, Annabel Lee, The Tell-Tale Heart, Cask of Amontillado, and more) into a touching allegory of loss and stunning portrayal of madness and the macabre. This is the full pre-release film, and you can only see it at the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival. 

Location TBD. Join us for unholy libations and uncanny questions in our one and only Lovecraftian Trivia contest, hosted by scholar, author, game designer, and gentleman Kenneth Hite! The author of Cthulhu 101 and Tour de Lovecraft will take you on a journey through the most obscure and dark corners of the (trivia) world, while we all party down after a long day of watching movies.

The first fan film based on a story of H. P. Lovecraft was made in 1975 by author David C. Smith (the series of Oron novels, as well as the Red Sonja novels, like Endithor's Daughter), with permission from August Derleth, and starring author J. Vernon Shea as Henry Akeley in The Whisperer in Darkness. This exclusive screening will give you an inside look at the film, and the restoration process from original 8mm film. 

Short films from all over the world that may cause you to question your reality...and your sanity! These will range from direct adaptations of stories by Lovecraft and his contemporaries to original stories that couldn’t exist without the influence of cosmic horror. Q&A with visiting filmmakers follows.
