After looking through my blog archives, it turns out I never posted here about the H.P.Lovecraft Literary Podcast. (It must have slipped my mind when I was posting over at Unfilmable.com back in December.)
Listening to the podcast is like reading Lovecraft with sarcastic (yet intelligent) footnotes. What turned me on to it was episode 22, which covers “The Other Gods.” Hosts Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer dig deep into Dreamlands lore to review the story… and the short film I released through Subterranea Entertainment.
They’ve got a great understanding of Lovecraft’s work, and I was thrilled to hear their thoughts regarding the animated film.
So crawl over to hppodcraft.com to listen online. Or get obsessive like me and download every episode and listen on your iPod!
I’m pleased to announce that The Other Gods will be playing Halloween weekend in Argentina! The Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre film festival will feature the short as part of its “Lovecraftiana” program.
In the last few years, I’ve heard from Lovecraft fans from all over, including Australia and Spain, but until now the film has only played in English. This screening will feature Spanish subtitles — many thanks to Agustina Piñeiro!

Thanks to Tim Gross, whom I met at Cleveland’s Cinema Wasteland. He gave The Other Gods a plug in his latest newsletter, Gross Movie Reviews #139:
A very beautiful animated short worth checking out, especially if you are a Lovecraft fan.
Tim posts his capsule reviews at Bastards of Horror, and has published three books of Gross Movie Reviews to date. Check them out on Lulu here: http://www.lulu.com/grossmoviereview
The AWN’s media website has changed its name to Animation World Network Televeision, or AWNtv for short.
H.P. Lovecraft’s The Other Gods, which previously had a home in the “demented” area of the media site, has a new address at http://www.awntv.com/videos/the-other-gods
There’s plenty of other great independent animation at AWNtv.com, so head on over and check it out!
There’s a new feature over at Unfilmable.com (the world’s greatest news site for Lovecraftian films). In the upcoming months, guest writer Tom Sullivan will be sharing his “Reviews of the Infinite Abyss.” I’m proud to say THE OTHER GODS is the subject of his first review.
Here’s a sampling of what Mr. Sullivan had to say:
“The story is an accurate and unsettling warning about tempting the Gods, and although short like the original story, it is just as effective. When Barzai gazes upon the face of Nyarlathotep, Rhodes gives us a psychedelic experience generations ahead of his time.”

Tom Sullivan is an artist whose otherworldly paintings have been published in a number of H.P. Lovecraft publications. I first came to know him as the designer of “The Book of the Dead” from the Evil Dead series. It’s an honor to be reviewed by Mr. Sullivan, as the Evil Dead movies were my gateway into the world of Lovecraft.
