HP Lovecraft Video Promo

Youtube's directors have offered up many strange tributes to H.P. Lovecraft over the years. Most videos, however, are really an appeal to those who are already into his fiction. If you've ever wanted to find a video that amounts to Lovecraftian propaganda, then this is it. By splicing together clips from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's 2005 Call of Cthulhu, Stuart Gordon's Dagon, and others, a visual summary of Lovecraftian themes has been created.

As digital media's tendrils lengthen, this is just the type of video that can be used for reaching new audiences. Soon, Lovecraft and other weird writers may owe more to well crafted Youtube videos than to literary journals, rave reviews, or social networking.
