Still recovering after the festival but want to announce the winners officially. We'll be updating the awards section once we've re-coded the awards section.

Thank you! Thanks to all who have supported the festival and attended. I hope everyone had fun. Please create an account, login and post comments on the films, events, and the forums. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Well I am still wiped out from running the festival. I'll start posting more news (including the award information) as soon as I am able.
Until then I am on a strict regiment of 40cc of gin every hour. Ha.
Thanks again!

Our judges, despite (or rather because of) their highly refined esthetic sensibilities and their extensive savvy on what makes a good Lovecraftian film (besides the bottomless popcorn tub), have finally made their agonizing decision at to this year’s winning screenplay. That’s the truth: it was no easy matter. There were so many fine submissions, the decision came close to being a coin toss. Close, but not quite.
How cool is this? Mignola rocks.
We have finished the selection of this year's films. You should be seeing daily updates as we get all the information up on the website. Our plan is to list all the Features and Shorts by the end of the week.
Remember if you login you can add comments to each film and also rate them as well.
Yes how time flies. It seems just like yesterday that Howard was born (August 20, 1890). Lovecraft's predominate idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien still resonates with readers today. Perhaps even more so considering the geo-political pressures and fragility of life here on Earth.
So everyone take a moment, raise a glass, and toast Lovecraft, a friend from out of time and space.
Lovecraft: Fear Of The Unknown wins the 2008 Best Documentary Film at ComicCon! Director Frank Woodward is best pleased. Again thanks goes out to all who attended. If you weren't there at ComicCon you will have another chance here in Portland Oregon to watch it with all your fellow lurkers.
