The Colour out of Space was the first of Mr. Lovecraft's stories that I read when I was in grade 7. I have been a fan ever since. I wish someone would make more movies from his novels.

thank you for creating a proper tribute to this great writer I don't know how but I'm definitely buying this DVD

"he was a guy that didn't get laid much" -Guillermo Del Toro... amazing

Our distributor is seeking someone to handle the DVD in other regions. In the meantime, I'm told the Blu-Ray is Region 0 and someone wrote from Ireland to say it worked for them.

They are indeed coming. I know people who pre-ordered the DVD have been receiving them.

@wyrdstuff I eagerly await notification of the downloads release!

@MortosSoulStealer Regrettably it is only available in the American region (Region 1) on DVD. We're pressing our distributor to address this issue especially since there are so many people like yourself who live in Europe and want to see the documentary. That said... I know the Blu-Ray version is Region 0 (all regions) and people have been able to play the Blu-Ray in Ireland and England. Our distrib is also working on making the film avail for download. We'll keep you posted on that.

I'm assured by our distributor that they're correcting the out of stock dilemma on Amazon and Netflix. The stars shall align soon...

yes, an early eunuch, it's really quite common, actually.....i saw a centipede crawling over one of my lovecraft books once...i guess they wanted back what he took...

@wyrdstuff many thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it.

He was never cruel to anyone personally. Granted, he was a bitter and lonesome elitist with pro-segregation views, but he showed generosity and kindness to those who sought his friendship and guidance. He befriended some admirers so thoroughly that they worked their entire lives following his untimely death to promote his life's work. Mr. Lovecraft was a flawed person, but he was NOT a terrible one.

@KajiCarson I agree with you, he was a racist and a anti-semite but when WWII came around he felt sympathetic to those who were suffering

why is this film impossible to find like ANYWHERE

@MythicDude He was never downright cruel to anyone personally. Granted, he was a bitter and lonesome elitist with pro-segregation views, but he showed generosity and kindness to those who sought his friendship and guidance. He befriended some admirers so thoroughly that they worked their entire lives following his untimely death to promote his life's work. Howard was a flawed person, but he was NOT a terrible one.

Have you tried the superb books by Robert M Price: 'The new lovecraft circle' & Ramsay Campbell, "Tales of the lovecraft mythos" & "Ashes & others H.P. lovecraft & divers hands". Another excellent book by R. M. Price is, ' The reason driven life '

I believe that Lovecraft wrote of reasons why his father could have gone mad.

@finbomartini Thanks for that! ;-)

@fin38 We're hoping it will be available soon for download through all the normal channels. I know that some have posted Bit Torrents. I kindly ask for those inclined to torrent FOTU to be a bit more patient. It is coming to a computer near you.

Is this DVD only limited to the American region? Because im from Europe and would love to get this DVD since im a huge Lovecraft fan!

Been playing through Mass Effect, the whole reaper thing is so 'lovecraftian.'

Floorsnarl - Here's the latest we heard. The Blu-Rays have all been shipped to their respective outlets. Now they have to send it to you. Given how long it's been, I'm assuming you bought the Blu-Ray. Is that right?

can anybody help me? I'd like to find the subtitles of the documentary because I can't understand clearly all the things said by the interviewers. please, thankyou!!

Does anyone know where you can download this doco from???

Is it considered acceptable to torrent and when something come to my country buy it imediatelly because i want the real thing + torrents are stupid but i just wanna se if im interested

the only brother i knew well....hes like his own sun

This can be found on isohunt

@KajiCarson: Essentially, you are in the right. I would argue, however, that he could, on occasion, be jaw-droppingly offensive in his statements (see, for instance, LETTERS TO RHEINHART KLEINER or LETTERS FROM NEW YORK); at the same time, he would almost certainly show kindness, on a personal level, to the very ethnics he so despised in general. As for his being bitter and lonely -- the latter, perhaps. The former... that I rather doubt. Flawed, yes, but overall a genuinely good human being.

@wyrdstuff Ah thanks for the info hopefully its will be international cos like i said im a huge Lovecraft fan :D

@distantworld We have one called MEN IN SUITS that will look at the suit actors who brought Godzilla, Predator, even Big Bird to life

@wyrdstuff I'm going to bittorrent it, but then I'm going to buy it as well.

The montage of Providence is beautiful! But Del Toro comes across a bit vulgar. "Getting laid" is getting a bit overrated nowadays. Lovecraft was an artist committed to his art. That´s why he´s still relevant today. For all fans of Lovecraft, I recommend the award winning film "shadow of the Unnamable". It´s probably the most faithful Lovecraft adaptation so far & it´s in colour! You can watch the latest trailer on youtube and visit the website for the synopsis and info.

His parents died of Syphilis, didnt they? He looks so much like his mother its scary.

@androzani7 Lovecraft wasn't a "racist" in the general sense of the word. He was a frightful intellectual snob and most of the minorities he encountered in his insular, old-money upbringing were uneducated servants and laborers. Is it any wonder he considered them to be his inferiors? Yet he had no trouble defying his family and marrying a Jewish woman because he had great respect and admiration for her intellect.

@MortosSoulsStealer never heard of multi region hacking?? anyway, good to see Gordon, Del Toro being fans, like you couldnt tell haha...screw the films (except the HPLHS stuff) and start with SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH & THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP imo.

interesting his father sufferred from madness...oh how reality slips into literature wow!

I'll give five bucks to the person who can spot the totally out-of-place pretentious prag who muddies up this awesome documentary, I'll give you a hint... "It's the bitch!"

Yeah and it's going to have Tom Cruise in it.

There is either 2 people who do not like h.p Lovecraft, they probably have absolutely no imagination and cant open there mind to new things. Or there probably extremely stupid people who are expecting some gratuitous bloody cheap grade b horror story.

Horror novel see video book trailer

and that's why you shouldn't have said anything
