Bissette, Daniel Best : Monster! #27: Lovecraftian Horrors, Vol. 1 before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Monster! #27: Lovecraftian Horrors, Vol. 1: 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. We got your monsters right here!By Fred AdelmanThis issue is a little bit different than all the others. The majority of the zine is dedicated to films that can be described as "Lovecraftian" (I hate that word, too, Tim) or otherwise films based on stories by H.P. Lovecraft. It also contains films that contain the Lovecraft touch (My favorite Lovecraft film is still THE RESURRECTED - 1991), including Part 1 of an extensive article (written by the always interesting Stephen R. Bissette) of the TV movie deemed too scary for TV and released theatrically, DARK INTRUDER (1965).This 125 page issue is not able to give all the Lovecraftian films their proper due, so the next issue will also deal with H.P. Lovecraft.There are also some non-Lovecraft delights also found in this issue, including Part 1 writer Daniel Best's extensive article on the Dracula stage tour in Australia in 1929, Part 2 of Christos Mouroukis' Monster Movie Marathon (which includes my favorite horror film of all time, PHANTASM - 1979), Dino-Monsters in Film Literature, book reviews and the always welcome Movie Checklist. In other words everything you need for a good afternoon or night of reading. Full or rare ad mats, film script pages and photos, MONSTER! #27 is yet another winner and is always delivered monthly. Don't ask me how they do it, but they do. A must-buy!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome! A real treat for lovers of the genreBy eddieboThe amount of information and thoughtful quality writing that they pack into each one of these issues is staggering. Its hard to even get through all of it in a month. The sourcing information for the videos at the end of each issue is a gold mine, extremely useful. A real treat for lovers of the genre. Sole criticism is that the type could be a bit bigger, its REALLY small, well under 7 point, (hence, the 4-star rating) and this is coming from a guy who reads pretty much everything on a smartphone. Other than that - quality all the way around, highly, highly recommended!1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. greatBy tom sciaccaGreat as usual Okay, just in time for April Foolrsquo;s Day (not that wersquo;re foolinrsquo;, mind you!), here comes MONSTER! #27hellip; which just happens to be the first of our loose ldquo;H.P. Lovecraftrdquo; specials (wersquo;re doing another one next month, too). In this issue, itrsquo;s about a 70/30% split, respectively, between HPL-themed material and other stuff. Steve Bissette (with an invaluable assist from Rick Lai) gives us Part 1 of his massive, laboriously- researched two-part analysis of the made-for-TV monster movie DARK INTRUDER (1965), which, while not ldquo;officiallyrdquo; derived from any particular HPL written work, is steeped in Lovecraftian lore and atmosphere nonetheless. Our review section reflects the issuersquo;s main theme, including coverage ndash; by both long-time Lovecraft devotees and novices ndash; of such cinematic adaptations of his works (both ldquo;legitrdquo; or only nominal) as CASTLE FREAK (1995), CHILEAN GOTHIC (a.k.a. PICKMANrsquo;S MODEL, 2000), THE CURSE (1987), CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968), THE DUNWICH HORROR (1970), THE HAUNTED PALACE (1963), ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN (1979), NECRONOMICON (1993), THE RESURRECTED (1991), and THE SHUTTERED ROOM (1967). Non-Lovecraft-related material this ish includes the first instalment of another epic historical overview from the scholarly Daniel Best on the subject of vintage horror entertainment Down Under, entitled ldquo;Australian Gothicrdquo;; this time Daniel covers the 1929 stage production of Bram Stokerrsquo;s DRACULA which toured Australiarsquo;s theatre circuit with considerable success in its day, but has since been as-good-as forgotten by history. All this and a bunch more goodies besides! Including: coverage of the PHANTASM movie quadrilogy, a piece about ldquo;apocalyptical dino-monstersrdquo; in modern popular culture, a review of the newest Karloff biography, Stephen Jacobsrsquo; BORIS KARLOFF: MORE THAN A MONSTER, plus, more, more, MORE! Other writing contributors this issue were C. Michael Hall, Christos Mouroukis, Eric Messina, Dennis Capicik, Allen A. Debus, Dawn Dabell, Sebastien Godin, Martiacute;n Nuacute;ntilde;ez, Matthew E. Banks, Christopher J. Maurer, Daniel Best, Les Moore, Brian Harris, Steve Fenton, and Tim Paxton. And not only that, but wersquo;ve also got some stark rsquo;nrsquo; stylinrsquo; HPL-inspired artwork from Jolyon Yates, Andy Ross, Matt Bradshaw and C. Michael Hall, too! And last but not least, rounding out this super-stuffed 125-pager is our usual listing covering the video availability of titles discussed within.

I have a bit of a vested interest in this one because I contributed liner notes and helped Grindhouse’s Bob Murawski find some of the interview subjects in the UK.

  • A Filosofia Dos Monstros: H
    PPGCOM ESPM // SÃO PAULO // COMUNICON 2016 (13 a 15 de outubro de 2016) A FILOSOFIA DOS MONSTROS: H. P. Lovecraft como um grande pensador e a perpetuação de sua mitologia na cultura midiática1 Yuri Garcia2 Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – UERJ Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo destacar o escritor H. P. Lovecraft como um importante objeto de pesquisa que permita articular pensamentos relacionados à Comunicação e ainda, pensar a forma como sua mitologia tem sido consumida pela nossa cultura. O autor vem gozando de um prestígio no âmbito da filosofia e tem sido, mesmo que tardiamente, qualificado como uma literatura bem vista por alguns críticos. O caráter paradoxal de Lovecraft e sua obra já seria o suficiente para deslocarmos conceitos cristalizados por uma tradição de pensamento, entretanto, sua massiva penetração nos mais variados produtos midiáticos podem nos auxiliar a questionar dicotomias clássicas e perspectivas filosóficas e teológicas dominantes. Palavras-chave: Lovecraft; literatura; cultura midiática; consumo. Introdução Howard Phillips Lovecraft nasceu em 20 de Agosto de 1890, na cidade de Providence, Rhode Island, e morreu em 15 de Março de 1937, precisamente num momento em que parecia atingir sua maturidade intelectual e literária, ensaiando um início de reconhecimento que apontava para seu ápice como escritor. Em vida, não chegou a se tornar um artista de grande repercussão, tendo sido apenas um autor de contos e ensaios publicados em revistas amadoras (como Weird Tales, Amazing 1 Trabalho apresentado no Grupo de Trabalho “Consumo, Literatura e Estéticas Midiáticas”, do 6º Encontro de GTs de Pós-Graduação - Comunicon, realizado nos dias 14 e 15 de outubro de 2016.

  • MALBA Cine Programación Mayo 2017 Lovecraft Al Cine
    MALBA Cine Programación mayo 2017 CICLO Lovecraft al cine Programador invitado: Manuel Pose — Durante todo el mes Durante todo mayo, MALBA Cine dedica un ciclo a una serie de películas influenciadas por el escritor H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). Se verán adaptaciones, tributos y homena- jes al creador y maestro del horror cósmico. Films inspirados en el universo lovecraf- tiano donde residen toda clase de seres abominables: demonios, engendros, vampi- ros, brujas, muertos vivos e incluso seres mitológicos extraterrestres, en especial, los Primigenios (Great Old Ones) y los Antiguos o Primordiales (Old Ones - Elder things). Deidades monstruosas, tecnológicamente avanzadas, que fueron los primeros en co- lonizar la Tierra y esperan regresar para apoderarse de ella nuevamente. El más co- nocido y admirado es el Gran Cthulhu. En ese cosmos, también habitan los humanos, que por más pequeños e insignificantes que sean, son protagonistas y narradores. Por lo general están sujetos a un destino inexorable, a veces por culpa de la sangre heredada. Suelen ser solitarios y muy cu- riosos, rasgos que los acercan a la locura al descubrir algo que escapa de toda su lógica, sumiéndolos en un estado de vacilación y a la imposibilidad de discernir entre lo real y lo fantástico. Una falta de respuestas a una realidad que se desvanece a cada paso, debido a la totalidad del frío e indiferente cosmos, y por supuesto a los seres y objetos fantásticos que lo habitan. Uno de esos objetos, la puerta o portal entre los humanos y estos seres, es el mágico Necronomicón, también conocido como "el libro de los Muertos".

Notre sélection se limite cependant aux réalisateurs présentement actifs. En effet, il serait impensable dans le cadre d'un dossier comme celui-ci de parler de tous les réalisateurs qui ont oeuvré dans le genre depuis les débuts du cinéma. Par conséquent, la majorité des cinéastes inclus dans cette sélection ont œuvré durant les 25 dernières années. Durant le processus de sélection, certains cinéastes se sont imposés d'emblée (Carpenter, Craven, Hooper, Argento, De Palma), tandis que d'autres ont été retenus pour des raisons spécifiques (quantité des oeuvres produites dans le genre, qualité exceptionnelle d'un film en particulier, signature d'une oeuvre ayant exercé une grande influence, etc.).
