For a while now I've been hearing about Project Space Squid, a production team over at the Vancouver Film School Entertainment Business Management Program. They've been putting together some Lovecraft films as part of some larger tablet app scheme. I'm not exactly sure how the interactive element of the project is supposed to work, but the final films are now out on Youtube. They're less faithful adaptations of the Lovecraft stories than they are pastiches on the Lovecraft aesthetic.
Here they are, with my favorite selections toward the top.
wow. I'm amazed by some of the inventiveness and simple visual allegory going on here. I love the super-hi contrast in #1 and the moving shadows and fish trees in Dagon.
