Dirt Dauber Trailer

An eerie looking new production from Steve Daniels, "Dirt Dauber," is scheduled to take its place among other fine Lovecraftian short films in the near future. Daniels is previously known for his work on the excellent film "The Gibbering Horror of Howard Ghormley." The new movie looks like it will carry his Lovecraftian film making one step further: this time into a mountainous region plagued by Shub-Niggurath and her Thousand Young. Or, as the description provided with this preview puts it:

In this disturbing Lovecraftian fairytale, a man awakes naked and confused in an isolated mountainous region. He soon encounters a strange local who offers to help him. The stranger recounts local folklore that speaks of a murderous religious cult, and an insect-like fertility god that is said to dwell deep within the mountain. The two men go underground in search of the truth and soon find themselves in a stygian black temple of horror.

Keep an eye out for "Dirt Dauber" at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival this fall, where there ought to be much word of mouth about it, if not a full blown premier.
