After a couple of trips to the East Coast for conventions earlier this summer, I’m very much looking forward to a convention here in Portland. Next Thursday-Sunday, the 2017 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival will be happening at the Hollywood Theater. I’m not sure if this is my sixth or seventh time attending this con, but it’s certainly a sentimental favorite.

I’ll be a guest again this year and should have information soon on programming such readings or panels. The organizers have just posted an updated film schedule:

I’m especially looking forward to the world premiere of They Remain, Philip Gelatt’s take on Laird Barron’s story “–30–,” but there’s all kinds of other great stuff being shown as well.

If you’re going to attend, I look forward to seeing you. If not, I’ll probably be posting a lot of pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
