Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown
UPC: 812142010232
Studio: Cinevolve
Summary: Journey into the life and work of the weird fiction author who gave us the Cthulu mythos and inspired such notable horror authors as Stephen King, Robert Bloch, and Neil Gaiman. Though initially overshadowed by the masterfully morbid prose of author Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft's writings have proven very influential, and can be seen in everything from movies (Re-Animator, Hellboy) to music (Metallica's "Call of Cthulu) to video games Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth). Discover how an Old World xenophobe crafted one of literature's greatest mythologies, and why his works continue to fascinate readers long after his untimely death as John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Straub, and others reflect on Lovecraft's crucial role in the history of horror fiction. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
