LURKER FILMS is extremely pleased to annouce that we will be releasing Out of Mind (shown on Bravo!) on DVD along with The Music of Erich Zann and The Outsider. Out of Mind offers the viewer a realistic encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. The film playfully winks at some of the themes characteristic of his HPL's work (the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures, ancestry and the cosmos) and draws its inspiration from Lovecraft's personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth «beyond the wall of sleep.» We plan to release the DVD by January of 2005. This will make up Volume 3 of the H.P. Lovecraft Collection on DVD.

This operation, designated the Rough Magik initiative, was successful but they trod on the toes of some powerful people, amidst accusations of financial impropriety and possible treason, and the Night Scholars were disbanded. Now years later, the old magic is returning, the Sleeping God is rising, and there are more Dreamers than Mr. Moon can handle as he struggles to rebuild the Night Scholars before its too late.

Plus: Bob Fugger's Terrible Old Man and From Beyond and Darkest of the Hillside Thickets music videos.

He's working on getting 3 or 4 more big films to release as well. Can't tell you what they are though, because I've been sworn to secrecy!

Not really, but I think it's supposed to be a secret... :cthulhu2:
