Got aheads up from one of our dear readers the other day about an interesting DVD that’s out there on the web right now. It’s called THE CALL OF CTHULHU and is based on the H.P. Lovecraft tale.
Here’s more from the Official Site: Written in 1926, just before the advent of “talking” pictures, The Call of Cthulhu is one of the most famous and influential tales of H.P. Lovecraft, the father of gothic horror. Now the story is brought richly to life in the style of a classic 1920s silent movie, with a haunting original symphonic score. Using the “Mythoscope” process — a mix of modern and vintage techniques, the HPLHS has worked to create the most authentic and faithful screen adaptation of a Lovecraft story yet attempted.
The DVD includes The Call of Cthulhu (47 minutes, black and white), the high-fidelity and “Mythophonic” soundtracks, a 25 minute “making-of” documentary featurette, two slide shows, deleted footage, a prop PDF of the Sydney Bulletin and more.
Certainly interesting enough to look into. Just make sure that if you meet any one involved in the filming and they start chanting or slithering, run for your f*cking life!
