I just received my copy of the H.P Lovecraft Historical Society's adaption of
The Whisperer in Darkness! I've been following the production for quite a while now... years in fact. I intend to watch it later this evening, but am fully expecting to be blown away. Hell, even Sandy Petersen helped out with the production. Their previous offering, an adaptation of
The Call of Cthulhu, was easily the most compelling proof to date that there is indeed a way to bring Lovecraft's work to cinematic life.
I'd suggest everyone go check out both films. They're definitely worth the purchase, and go to support truly independent cinema. Otherwise, I do believe that
The Call of Cthulhu is available on NetFlix. I imagine that
The Whisperer in Darkness will follow in time. Just keep in mind that both films are shot as strict period pieces, so
Cthulhu is actually a shorter silent film.
Whisperer on the other hand is more in the style of a 1930s Universal Studios horror film, like King Kong or Frankenstein.
Also, for those interested... The HPLHS has a plethora of cool stuff in their online store. Included amongst it is a two CD set of so-called
Solstice Carols. Mythos inspired parodies of those dreadful Christmas tunes you all know and hate. If anything could actually make the holidays fun, those are it!
