About the Festival
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.
From MCA/Universal Pictures International Spain, this is the second part of the "The Valdemar Legacy", directed by José Luis Alemán. An action piece with cameos by Lovecraft and one of his greatest creations, the Great Cthulhu!

This was for its time one of Lovecraft's favorite movies and an inspiration for his story The Shadow Out of Time. Lovecraft saw this film four times in late 1933. Lovecraft himself had written a story on this very theme himslef, the unpublished The Case of Charles Dexter Ward in 1927. Read more
Jacques Cowan is what the French call 'a runner of the woods.' He may be a foreigner in the new world but Jacques quickly learned the ways of the native people, their language, their routes, and their skills.

Jacques had listened intently to the stories that had crossed the ocean, extraordinary tales of mystical creatures and unknown forces. Black Goat finds Jacques mid hunt, as he closes in on what others thought was a legend. Read more
