H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival 2012

By Steve Biodrowski • August 25, 2012

Location: The Warner Grand Theatre, 478 West 6th Street San Pedro, CA

Description: The Warner Grand Theatre presents the third annual Los Angeles festival dedicated to film adaptations of the work of the late Rhode Island author, who pioneered the concept of cosmic horror – combining traditional horror elements with science fiction to create an existentially disturbing picture of a dangerous universe at best indifferent and at worst hostile to life on Earth.

From the website:

The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival promotes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, literary horror, and weird tales through the cinematic adaptations by professional and amateur filmmakers. The festival was founded in 1995 by Andrew Migliore in the hope that H.P. Lovecraft would be rightly recognized as a master of gothic horror and his work more faithfully adapted to film and television.
