H.P. Lovecraft

Trailer and Synopsis for Indie Short Dirt Dauber

Here around the Dread Central offices we're always on the lookout for interesting short and/or indie projects so we were more than a little intrigued by the note in our inbox from Steve Daniels touting his Southern Lovecraftian film "Dirt Dauber". Check out the trailer he provided, and see if you agree with us that it seems to hold more than a little promise.

Update on The Whisperer in Darkness

It's been quite some time since we first ran a story about an in-the-works adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in Darkness (check it out here), and today we’re finally ready to post a follow-up. What the hell took so long, you ask? Read on to find out.

Final Word on Re-Animator 3D

With all the nonsense swirling about on other sites about casting, start dates, etc., it's hard to know exactly what's true and what's not. Do we cover it? Should we cover it? We've consumed a ton of aspirin over the last week as a result. I can tell you that this will be the final mention of Re-Animator 3D here until someone signs a damned contract.

Re-Animator 3D Hot Air? Stuart Gordon Indicates That May Be the Case!

Just about a week ago we told you about an interview in which producer Ray Haboush spoke about a supposed Re-Animator redux in 3D. Now we are here to tell you that it all could have been a load of crap.

Re-Animator Redux Coming ... in 3D?!?

Most of us are fans of the film Re-Animator, and honestly, if you're not, I really have to wonder what the hell you're doing here. Suffice it to say that if the visage of a head giving head doesn't instantly bring a smile to your face, then you should be surfing elsewhere. Well, after countless stories about the next chapter, we finally have some news that seems concrete.

War is Hell in NecroVisioN

The guys over at IGN just got a first look at a new game that I’m sure will appeal to horror fans, and if it doesn’t ... well, you’re just a poseur then. POSEUR! The game is called NecroVisioN (not sure if that last “N” needs to be capitalized or not, but that’s how they have it…), and it comes to us from The Farm 51st. What is it? Glad you asked!

SOTA Unleashes the Nightmare of Nyarlahotep

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything from SOTA, but I have to say it is nice that when they do drop us a line, it’s because a very cool, very big new horror from the mind of Lovecraft has come to life again.

Beyond the Dunwich Horror Comes Home

Though I’d love to tell you guys that Richard Griffin’s Lovecraft sequelization, Beyond the Dunwich Horror, will be available in Best Buys throughout the country very soon, that would be a blatant lie. And I’m trying really hard to stop lying so damn much. But the good news is you can still pick up the film right now with a quick trip to Scorpio Film Releasing!
