Calling all Lovecraft and Necronomicon readers (gibber-gibber!)

And view the official site here.

It's '1920s authentic' silent movie... no CGI.

I am sooooo tempted to order the dvd after seeing the trailer. I reckon this is going to be a pretty cool film.

HP Lovecraft... 1920s 'father' of gothic horror.

Said short film... modern day filming meant to look like it was made in the 20s to try and recreate the atmosphere of the prose... and on a budget.

Simple things like this excites us beardies that read the stories and played Call of Cthulhu RPG and its spin-offs.

The only recent film, I can think of, that hints towards Lovecraft is parts of Hellboy... especially the end section with all the tentacled creatures.

I'm sure I read Del Torro was meant to be filming something Lovecraftian or maybe that was it and the rest was 'idol'

gossip.

If you've got an xbox, perhaps, have a hunt around for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
