If your idea of a good time is to be possessed of unnameable fear then make your way to the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy) this weekend. Doors open at 6pm Friday for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. The founder of the festival, Andrew Migliore, welcomes fans to the festival:

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.

Besides the films and film discussions, merchants will hawk their horror-related wares and Howies will be awarded.

Hello Cthulhu!
