H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival" Premieres May 26th @ Pelham Picture House in NY

I love H.P. Lovecrafts work. His demonic vision has scared and delighted me since I was thirteen and picked up a copy of'The Horror In The Museum' at my school library. Our school had an eclectic selection of occult fiction and non-fiction material. It was before the 'book burning censorship of the early 90's that took place in public school systems. Anyway next to actually reading Necronomicon itself H.P.'s stuff was dead scary! I love it ...Anyway now here is the tidbit about the movie poster up top!

From (Fangoria):

Writer/director Richard Terrasi is getting ready for the premiere of his fright film THE FESTIVAL later this month, and gave us some info about the project. Adapted from H.P. Lovecraft’s story of the same title, it’s his second feature following 2007’s AM I EVIL.
“It’s about a struggling author named Charles Keene [played by Kevin Pinassi] who travels from New York City to meet with his fiancée’s grandparents for a traditional festival held once a year in a small New England town,” Terrasi tells Fango. “Upon arrival, he discovers that something very strange is going on with the village and its residents. As Charles discovers more about the place, he learns that there is much more to this event than your normal small-town festival, and has to find a way to escape before his part in it is revealed.” The cast also includes Victoria Guthrie, Bill Kozy, Bob Lasprogato and Bonnie Hauser.

A fan of horror cinema from the ’70s and ’80s, Terrasi asserts that his brand of screen terror is not watered down. “I’m not looking to make cheesy or campy movies!” he says. “That’s what’s lacking with many horror films today. THE FESTIVAL is a very dark film driven by visuals, mood and lots of tension.” And he has this promise for fans of the eldritch author: “Those of you familiar with H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos of otherworldly things that existed before man and co-exist with us through other dimensions—who know Cthulhu, the Necronomicon and the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred—will be happy with this one!”

THE FESTIVAL will premiere Thursday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Pelham, NY’s Pelham Picture House (175 Wolf Lane). The screening is open to the public; general admission is $11 ($6 for members of the Picture House) and Terrasi will be on hand to introduce the movie.
