October 2-3-4-, 2009 • Hollywood Theatre, Portland Oregon
The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival promotes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, literary horror, and weird tales through the cinematic adaptations by professional and amateur filmmakers. The festival was founded in 1995 by Andrew Migliore in the hope that H.P. Lovecraft would be rightly recognized as a master of gothic horror and his work more faithfully adapted to film and television.

I was in the hospital earlier this week getting my appendix removed... and of course it couldn't be a normal appendix... I think the festival is warping my mind and body... the appendix was according to the doctor a pseudopod wrapping around the large intestine measure a foot or more. Can't wait to see the pathologist report next week. I unfortunately will not be running around like a mad man and will have to take it easy... please do not hug me as all sorts of vileness may occur.
What’s coming next in Lovecraftian cinema, including a sneak peek at the much anticipated Whisperer in Darkness from the cultists who brought us Call of Cthulhu.
Join us for what will be surely a mind expanding experience as we use modern technology to talk to Mr. Branney and Mr. Leman remotely on the set of their new highly anticipated movie.
Participants: Andrew Leman; Andrew Migliore; Sean Branney.
More updates in the works... in the meanwhile online ticketing is available.

The 2009 HPLFF will be held in Portland Oregon on October 2-3-4. We are rising from our R'lyehian slumber and are actively working on updating the site with new information.
The stars are almost right...
I am sure by now you have seen splashed on the pages of Variety and echoed in most blogs and news sites that there is a chance that the graphic novel "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft" may be made into a movie.
So I ask the lurkers... what do you think? Will Ron beat del Toro to the punch and be the first to make a major Hollywood Lovecraft based production?Read more
