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.
We didn't want you to have to wait for more than a year for the festival to return in May of 2012, so we're having a special two night H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival September 30 - October 1, 2011. Read more
