2009 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival Video Redux
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival has been finished for a couple weeks, but a trickle of captured images and video from the event continues to taint the internet with its eldritch stain. The first video is a concise news summary about the event, courtesy of the Things from Another World Blog. Their correspondent shows us around the Hollywood Theater, decked out in full Lovecraftian glory, in a snippet that sufficiently illustrates what the festival's layout looks like.
A longer clip by "Rev. Danno" records some of the festival's opening ceremonies, including speeches by Andrew Migliore and Robert M. Price. It later exhibits brief snapshots of the gatherings and entertainment centered around specific movies there. Viewers also see more of the theater in its weird garb, and closeups of some eye-catching art.
Finally, Things From Another World catalogs a full part of the Cthulhu Con: the Dark Horse panel on the history of horror comics. This is an engaging and authentic example of the sorts of presentations that go on every year in Portland. The first segment is below. The full panel is in four parts, with the rest available from the embedded video after it finishes, or from TFAW's Youtube account.
