Lurker Films -- the leading manufacturer of literary horror, Cthulhu, and Lovecraft related film merchandise -- announces the upcoming August 15th, 2007 release of the fifth volume of the "H.P. Lovecraft Collection (tm)". The DVD will include the feature film "Strange Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep" directed by Eric Morgret and the German short film "Maria's Hubris" by Patrick Webber.

H.P. Lovecraft (b August 20, 1890, d. March 15, 1937) is considered to be one of the greatest writers of horror fiction since Edgar Allan Poe. His influence on modern horror has been enormous both in print and in film, and stems from his fusing the best traditions of gothic horror on both sides of the Atlantic, and blending in elements of science fiction thus popularizing the notion of "cosmic horror.

"The Thing on the Doorstep" is a unique story about an unfortunate marriage between a precocious scholar (Edward Derby) and a young heiress (Asenath Waite) who has mysterious hypnotic powers. Edward soon after their marriage exhibits severe mood swings and radical personality changes. What is the source of Asenanth's sway over Edward? What is the influence that her deceased sorcerer father (Ephraim Waite) has over her? The only thing standing between Asenath and her unspeakable plans to sow death and madness is Edward's graduate advisor, professor Dan Upton. But is Dan too late to stop what has been set into motion?

The H.P. Lovecraft Collection Volume 5: Strange Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep DVD will be available through retail channels at a suggested price of $19.95 USD. The DVD is not rated but a rating of PG-13 is suggested. Total running time of the DVD will be approximately 120 minutes.

Blurb: "When is an H.P. Lovecraft story not a book? When it's an album by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, of course! Following their seven year tour of outer space in support of Spaceship Zero: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, The Thickets return to Earth and the waters off New Zealand in a very special operatic adaptation of Lovecraft's "The Shadow Out of Time." In HPL s original tale set in 1913, Professor Peaslee of Massachusetts has his mental faculties swapped by an alien mind and learns terrible truths about life on Earth and beyond. The Vancouver, BC nerdcore band's The Shadow Out of Tim, their third full-length album and fifth CD release, features modern marine biologist Dr. Timothy Vess' descent into madness brought on by similar circumstances. The Darkest of

the Hillside Thickets, a cult mainstay since 1992, take you on a rock 'n' roll tour through space and time, painting sonic pictures of the ocean deep, mysterious ruin-covered islands, and Paleocene jungles. Five out of five Cthulhu scholars agree The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets' The Shadow Out of Tim is the perfect soundtrack to occult investigation!"
