The works of H.P. Lovecraft have been brought to the screen many times over the years in films like Re-Animator, Castle Freak and From Beyond. Continuing his enduring legacy, another Lovecraft-inspired film is in the works, and we’ve got the scoop for ya today!
Per Variety, independent production company RadioactiveGiant has acquired the rights to develop, produce and distribute Miskatonic, a feature film inspired by the works of horror fiction icon H.P. Lovecraft.
Miskatonic was created in the Lovecraft tradition of dark fantasy, science fiction and horror. Lovecraft repeatedly used the fictional and prestigious Miskatonic University, located in Massachusetts and named after the fictional Miskatonic River, with its first appearance in Lovecraft’s 1922 story “Herbert West–Reanimator.”
Albert Sandoval and Daemon Hillin will produce. Sandoval will also direct from a script by Devlin Mann and Stephen Dare.
RadioactiveGiant is planning production of Miskatonic for late 2015 to early 2016.
