Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

Posted by: Dave In: HPL| Music| Oregon

I took these photos and video last night at Tony Starlights in Portland. The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets played to a packed house for the HP Lovecraft Film Festival. The show was fantastic. Justine and I were singing along to all the crazy Thickets’ songs. A good time was had [...]

HP Lovecraft Filmfest 2008

Posted by: Dave In: Film| HPL| Oregon

It’s that time of year again, folks!  Justine and I mysteriously woke up in Portland, Oregon yesterday standing in front of the Hollywood Theater.  It’s rainy.  It’s cold.  It’s dark.
In other words…it’s perfect.
We watchd the introduction by Robert Price and Brian Lumely.  I also met Mike Mignola and chatted about Hellboy a little bit.  We’re [...]

The Call of Cthulhu as interpreted by Wordle

Posted by: Dave In: Design| HPL| Web

I  was recently shown a really cool site called Wordle that takes any text and converts it into a word cloud, giving more frequently used words more prominence on the page.
This is where writing and art collide.  It’s both beautiful and interesting at the same time.

Cloverfield (no spoilers)

Posted by: Dave In: Film| HPL

No review here…just a quick note that I watched the new JJ Abrams movie, Cloverfield, today. I have a feeling that some people will hate the ending. I also have a feeling that those people have never read H.P. Lovecraft.
Nuff said.
P.S. (for Scott) - I forgot to mention I give the film a [...]

Goodbye Hollywood Theater

Posted by: davidherrold In: HPL| Mobile

It’s been a great trip to Portland this year. I’m even a bit sad it’s over. The movies were interesting. The people were wonderfully weird. The company was delightful.
The festival was even more fun this year because we were experiencing it with friends.
Hmmm…I wonder what movies will be playing next year?

H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival 2006 short movies

Posted by: Dave In: Film| HPL

This year’s batch of short movies (my favorite part of the festival) was pretty good. There were four groups of shorts spread out over the 3-day festival and we managed to see three of them so far (with plans to see the fourth group sometime after I write this today). Some of my [...]
