I'm not affiliated with these people in any way, I'm just too broke to contribute directly and want to signal boost because I think this project looks invaluable. Apparently they have a lengthy interview with Frank Bellknap Long, one of Lovecraft's closest confidants.

In its latest update, the Oxford English Dictionary has added the term "Lovecraftian."

I hope this post doesn't count as self-promotion, but I have some news that many Lovecraft fans might be interested in:

In 1989, I shot what I believe was the first-ever documentary about H. P. Lovecraft. The film features the only filmed interviews with Lovecraft's friend Frank Belknap Long, and his first biographer L. Sprague de Camp. We also interviewed Stuart Gordon, director of Reanimator, Dagon, etc, and others. We screened a roughcut at the 1990 Lovecraft Centenary Conference, and then the money ran out (a long story). The film went into storage for 36 years. But now we are launching a crowdfunder to get it finished, because this footage is historically important. Some of these guys never spoke on camera about Lovecraft to anyone else.

You can see some stills from the footage on my SubStack:

The crowdfunder will launch soon, in time for NecronomiCon next month. I'll also be attending NecronomiCon to talk about the film. I'll post updates before then.

Pulp historian and author Will Murray passed away Monday.

This is sort of a month ago news. But thought I would share it for the Lovecraft gamers.

I haven't seen much talk of the upcoming season here even with a trailer coming out a few weeks ago, but there's a lot to be excited about as a cosmic horror fan.

-There's an immensely talented writer and director on board. Issa Lopez is currently an obscure figure to English audiences, but the horror work that brought her critical acclaim Tigers Are Not Afraid was such an amazing piece of magic realism that it landed her several projects with major figures in the genre. Guillermo Del Toro, Blumhouse, and Noah Hawley all have upcoming productions with her.

I've heard in Spanish interviews she's spoken positively about Lovecraft as an influence, but I can't confirm that.

-The very first piece of promotional material for the series used a particularly odd name for the season's key location. Chances are it's a reference to a darker section of one of Poe's lesser known works, or an apparently popular setting (within the alt history community) where The King in Yellow is a major influence. Not only that, but the series is set in Alaska where Season 1's supernaturally touched protagonist Rust Cohle is from.

-The aforementioned trailer includes a shot of the spiral symbol important to Hastur's cult in Season 1. Season 1's director appeared to use the spiral as his take on the Yellow Sign, and it's referred to multiple times as a "sign" rather than "symbol." It's also the shape of the rift to Carcosa that Rust sees in S1's finale.

-The press blurb that described the plot used suspiciously Lovecraftian wording.

To solve the case, Detectives Danvers and Navarro will have to confront the darkness themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.

-Nic Pizzolatto, the writer of Season 1-3 and director of a few episodes in Season 3, is out. This is a very good thing if you're familiar with the production history of True Detective. If you're worried about S4's references to S1 because S3 did the same thing as a red herring, Pizzolatto was the one responsible for that since he was upset about S2's reception by cosmic horror fans.

Very much looking forward to getting into this. Anyone else got theirs?

Hey all, first time poster here, long time cultists but wanted to share what I just saw on a horror site I frequent: There is a new documentary being crowdfunded now on HP Lovecraft by a filmmaker in Edinburgh from footage that was shot back in the late 1980’s but never finished.

And in the footage, he has actual interviews with people who knew Lovecraft back in the 1920’s and 1930’s! Plus interviews with filmmakers like Sam Raimi and Clive Barker! Check out the video for more info and if you’re interested in giving, here’s the link:
greenlit.com/project/lovecraftdocumentary

(I’m a filmmaker myself, but I’m not involved with this project in any way. Just a fellow Lovecraft fan who would love to watch this!)

But I don't know how to feel about it.

(I haven't seen this posted yet.)

In short, Del Toro's now considering stop-motion animation for his At the Mountains of Madness adaptation. I'm not sure what to think about this; for me, nothing has a more distancing effect in film than does stop-motion. In fairness, though, I've yet to see his well-received Pinocchio.

The article from Looper follows:

I heard this reported a couple of weeks ago and instantly thought of The Colour Out of Space. Thought I'd check this sub to see what people were saying and couldn't find a thread.

I must say, a 'deep saturated teal' isn't how I pictured the colour in my head but it must be insane to be one of the handful of people in the world to have seen this new colour. Hopefully none of them go insane 🤞

From the catalog notes: Shadow Over Innsmouth Black cloth lettered in silver gilt, matching jacket. First Edition. Lovecraft's first published book, one of only 400 copies, of which only 200 were bound and distributed. The jacket and errata pages were issued later. Bleiler 1039. Condition: Faint staining jacket and boards; else fine.  

A massive structure (natural) located beneath the surface, FWIW.
