The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society

Our movies of “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Whisperer in Darkness” are once again available to stream on Amazon prime, at least in the US. And on Tubi, and of course on DVD from our store with fun bonus features!

Our friends @hplhs.bsky.social have released a new astonishingly 'proptastic' licensed Call of Cthulhu adventure, The Spark Devil.

The deluxe box set measures 13.5 x 11.75 x 4.5 inches and weighs almost 5 pounds!

If you go down into the steam tunnels today, you're in for a big surprise! Join us on Patreon at the Scholar level or higher for our #StrangeStudies Extra Credit interview with the co-founder of the HP Lovecraft Literary Society, Andrew Leman!

I love receiving my annual stamp from @hplhs.bsky.social !

The cast standing in front of the movie screen with scripts and microphones. Projected on the screen is “The Temple” in a 1920s-30s font.

The @hplhs.bsky.social is performing “The Temple” live, accompanied by the Hollywood Theatre’s pipe organ.

Happy 70th birthday 🎂 to the original creator of Call of Cthulhu, the Only Old One himself, Sandy Petersen.

The van full of merch is now on its way to Portland for @hplff.bsky.social . See you at the Hollywood Theater for the 20th anniversary screening of The Call of Cthulhu with LIVE organ accompaniment, and a live performance of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Temple! And so much more!

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society @hplhs.bsky.social has a new Call of Cthulhu scenario out, with a ridiculously large box of props to use with it!

If it's anywhere near as fun as The Dog Walker scenario for their Arkham Investigator's Wallet Prop Set, this should be pretty great!

Getting ready to pack up for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland! Get your tickets for so much great programming! hplfilmfestival.com/hplfilmfesti...

BTW, HPLHS has lots of cool things. This is one of my treasured horrors.

Audio Props: God's Teeth Professionally recorded audio files bring props and handouts from God's Teeth for the Delta Green role playing game to thrilling life.

The @hplhs.bsky.social created an entire album of audio props for God's Teeth!

As a humble AP podcaster, it was surreal to hear my work performed by someone besides me, not to mention a performance with such professional voice acting and production. Fantastic work!

‘The Call of Cthulhu’ – Looking Back on the Faux Silent Film 20 Years Later I’m of the opinion that stories are more satisfying within the historical context that they were originally created. For instance, Spider-Man works better as a character when inserted into the colorfu...

"The most faithful Lovecraft adaptation ever made, and it’s just as impressive now as it was back in 2005." — @bloody-disgusting.com writes an appreciation of The Call of Cthulhu, made by our ingenious friends at @hplhs.bsky.social to resemble a silent film from 1928.
