Sierras Edge Pictures are committed to adapting
the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood,
M.R. James, Oliver Onions, William Hope Hodgson,
Edgar Allen Poe and Henry James, and they

story Keeping His Promise by Algernon
Blackwood, An Eldritch Epitaph based
on an original story by Philip Reyth, The
Old Man based on Lovecraft's The Terrible

April 13: Randolph Carter attends Summer
School!
Summer School, the new independent
chiller from Random
Creatureface Films, was released on DVD
recently, and according to Dread Central,
one of the special features is a new Statement
of Randolph Carter short film directed
by Lance Hendrickson.
First we have "The Statement of Randolph
Carter", Lance Hendrickson's love song
to Lovecraft, which is sung beautifully with
notes of atmosphere and eerily spoken words.
If there's one thing I've learned from living
with a Lovecraftian militant, it is the fact
that when it comes to films based on Lovecraft's
writings, you either get it right or you fail
epically. In my opinion, Lance got it right.

You can purchase the Summer School
DVD (for $23.00 shipping included) through

Creatureface Films, or watch The Statement
of Randolph Carter (in it's entirety)

April 10: Arrow in the
Head reviews Pickman's Model
Joblo.com's
Arrow in the Head is the latest to review
Gary Fierro's Pickman's Model...
"Pickman's
Model is a good creepy adaptation of Lovecraft's
story, made from a faithful script by Justin
Tacchi. These guys are obvious Lovecraft fans
(and admitted Re-Animator fans), and their
love for the works of a master come through
in their student short film. Expect some great
things from director Fierro and star Conor
Timmis..."

Sacrilege for Rogue Pictures...
Neil
had this to say about the project, "It
is set during the Gold Rush, a time remembered
for incidents like the Donner Party. It is
meant to be a pitch-black, gritty, period
horror movie," he went on to say, "This
is 'Unforgiven' by way of H.P. Lovecraft,
with that grim, gritty setting and a horror
element nobody has seen before."
