The 22nd annual H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival will be returning to the historic Hollywood Theatre in Portland, OR on October 6-8th. This year’s festival will feature 8 feature films, including one world premiere and two US premieres, to go along with more than 40 short films. In addition to the films, the festival will also welcome a number of special guests. This year’s guests include F. Paul Wilson, Courtney Gains, Philip Gelatt, Barbara Steele and a whole lot more.
If you’re going to be in the Portland area later this week I highly recommend swinging by and checking out the festival. It’s a world class event and takes place at the world’s greatest movie theatre. For more information including schedule and tickets visit HPFilmFestival.com.
