There are plenty of non-fiction books and essays devoted to H.P. Lovecraft, but for those of us who are sometimes more visually inclined, the pickings have been a little slim. Thankfully, director Frank H. Woodward (The Splat Pack: A Wyrd Documentary) has put together what could be the definitive documentary on the horror pioneer. And Woodward's enlisted all the right people to offer their take on the man and his work, including disciples like John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Stuart Gordon, and Ramsey Campbell; as well as historian S.T. Joshi, probably the leading Lovecraft expert in the world today. This DVD from Cinevolve offers the feature-length doc, plus an additional ninety minutes of extended interviews, art galleries and other ephemera. Perfect for the Lovecraft fan in your life.
