While I thought the BBC Radio 3 documentary <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cdn01.foxwhisper.co.uk\/Downloads\/HP%20Lovecraft\/The%20Strange%20Life%20of%20HP%20Lovecraft%20%28Documentary%29\/\">The Strange Life of H.P. Lovecraft<\/a><\/em> was rather good, I was rather disappointed with the feature-length film documentary <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0966790065?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=dlog-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0966790065\">The Eldritch Influence: the life, vision and phenomenon of H.P.

So it&#8217;s good to now learn of another new feature-length documentary, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B002IZEWVI?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httwwwdloginf-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=B002IZEWVI\"><em>Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown<\/em><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/e\/ir?t=httwwwdloginf-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B002IZEWVI\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important;margin:0!important;\" \/> (Oct 2009 on DVD).  It seems to have been very well reviewed and has won several awards &mdash; although awards these days are increasingly untrustworthy, skewed by politically correctness or a &#8216;me and my mates&#8217; approach.  Unfortunately the DVD is currently only available on a Region 1 (USA) DVD, and those of us in the UK will need a region-free player.<\/p>\n<p>There are reviews at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/reviews\/lovecraft-fear-unknown-2008\">Dread Central<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinema-suicide.com\/2009\/08\/24\/from-providence-it-came-lovecraft-fear-of-the-unknown\/\">Cinema Suicide<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/scottkenemore.wordpress.com\/2009\/12\/18\/documentary-review-lovecraft-fear-of-the-unknown\/\">Scott Kenemore<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatally-yours.com\/horror-reviews\/lovecraft-fear-of-the-unknown-2008\/\">Fatally Yours<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is &#8220;old news&#8221; &mdash; but over the last year or so I&#8217;ve been returning to Lovecraft and literary &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2010\/07\/22\/lovecraft-fear-of-the-unknown-on-dvd\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-films-trailers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
