Cosmic horror returns to North East Portland, specifically the Hollywood Theatre, this weekend:

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.

It’s much more than a film festival. There will be live musical and theatrical performances, readings of Lovecraft’s works, an accompanying Cthulhu Con for H. P. Lovecraft nerds from all over, and even a wedding!

The event website has all the details.

Oh, and just for fun: Hello Cthulhu!
