Lovecraft Paragraphs

[you can view this up to 1080p resolution)

[expand for more information]

"...all the aims and mysteries of a blindly impersonal cosmos."

from S. T. Joshi - "LOVECRAFT PARAGRAPHS is a scintillating and breathtakingly original visual experience. The 'paragraphs' from Lovecraft's work have been chosen with exceptional care to highlight some of Lovecraft's most powerful and provocative utterances; and the images chosen to accompany them emphasise exactly those elements of weirdness, cosmicism, terror, and otherworldly beauty that distinguish Lovecraft's stories. Every reader of Lovecraft will come away with an enhanced appreciation for the Master's writing and imagination from seeing this splendid film."

LOVECRAFT PARAGRAPHS was accepted and shown at the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon, October 2-3-4, 2009.

I chose the voices used in the movie in response to a letter from Lovecraft to Frank Belknap Long in which Lovecraft wrote:

"I like a tale to be told as directly and as impersonally as possible, from an angle of utter and absolute detachment." - Howard Phillips Lovecraft, in a letter to Frank Belknap Long - August 2, 1926

I just watched this last night. one of the best lovecraftian movie I watched. Keep it up

[MrWilum]

I'll see ye next week-end, Reber!

[SuperWidowsson]

Really weird, in a good way! The music is very, very good.

For all fans of Lovecraft, I recommend the award winning film "shadow of the Unnamable".

You can watch the latest trailer on youtube and visit the website for the synopsis and info.

The film is touring festivals worldwide and will be available on dvd later this year.

Was great, It'd be perfect if it wasn't for the robot voice reader...

[PaulBaack]

Fantastic! What a splendid idea -- and how beautifully executed. Genuinely creepy and awe-inspiring. And special kudos as regards the music, which gave life to the whole project. Brilliant stuff... thanks for sharing it.

[MrMdc671]
