Lovecraftian Superhero

Wednesday, January 16, 2008

An aspiring producer made this amateur superhero short with a very Lovecraftian edge. Dr. Fate, a hero in the vein of traditional pulp comics who derives his powers from a helmet connected with entities from the stars, takes the leading role here. In this episode, "Dr. Fate and the Crawling Chaos," he seeks to save Earth from an errant college student after forbidden lore in a Necronomicon-like tome. Hopefully, this episode will be the first of many, as it provides a nice melding of Lovecraftian horror and pulp comic themes.
