The Call of Cthulhu
Interesting film adaptation of the original story done in the style of a silent black and white movie.

got a link where the colour of the subtitles doesn't overpower the film?

It's an H P Lovecraft Historical Society production...
I've got the DVD of this. It's very well made and the DVD is well worth getting as it also has a very interesting making-of documentary. More info here:

The H P Lovecraft Historical Society have also made an adaptation of another Lovecraft story, The Whisperer In Darkness, which is in the style of a 1930s talkie, but I only found out about it recently and haven't yet had a chance to order the DVD. There's a website for Whisperer:

No problem!
Whisperer's on order now, but I epxect it'll take a while to get here, what with them being in the States...

that gets a click
I'm a bit obssesed with Lovecraft at the moment with making a little dolly of him:
the finished one will have him holding 3 miniature editions of Astounding Stories. They'll be up for sale in the
site in about a week

That is excellent.
btw, what's your take on the racism in Lovecraft's fiction? Even as a teen I remember wincing & thinking "just remember he was writing in the early 20th century. A different time", though I think even then it would've been unacceptable for a lot of people.

true
that's how I look at it. I remember in some Hemingway, I nearly fell off the chair when he mentioned the n word as narrator rather than a character saying it.
(cheers btw!)

There's a few R E Howard moments of cringe in that vein
Creatures of their generations etc. (i.e. racist like the rest)

That is superb!
I really love that (just checked out your blog), the level of exaggeration is spot on. BTW, having checked out the other items on your blog I think you're massively underselling your products! When you consider how much mass-produced figures cost, you should be asking at least double.

That was superb!!
As good as any film I've watched over the past few years.
Will definitely buy this on DVD.
