Based on the works of Stuart Gordon: Of all the feature films based on Lovecraft’s work, few match the films of Stuart Gordon. Liberties are taken with the original stories, but Gordon adapts Lovecraft’s work with a surprising faithfulness, before adding in a few bits of his own. This panel will discuss how Gordon followed the basic outlines of The Re-Animator stories, From Beyond and Dreams in the Witch House to keep his adaptations true to the original work, while updating them for (or to assault) modern sensibilities.
H. P. Lovecraft considered himself a poet first and foremost: on the 1930 census form, he listed his occupation as “poet.” Yet, weird poetry is largely overlooked by Lovecraft fans in favor of prose. Poets in the weird poetry movement posit that poetry (particularly formal metred poetry) is the most Lovecraftian medium of all, and the best for expressing spectral moods and effects—for conveying the vastness of cosmic horror. Joshi (M), Bolivar, Dioses, Brock, Myers, Opperman
