QuotePROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence native and cult horror writer H.P. Lovecraft will be the subject of a special walking tour and film series during the annual FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival (RIHFF), October 21-24th. The tour will take place on Friday, October 22nd at 3:00 p.m..

The life and work of Providence's best-known fantasy and horror author, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, will provide the backdrop for the tour, which will be lead by the Rhode Island Historical Society.  Lovecraft's "Providence stories" (written between 1924 and 1935) provide the basis for this walk.  Lovecraft wrote eloquently, and in great detail, about such landmarks as Prospect Terrace, the First Baptist Church, and Benefit Street houses.  Participants will see the site of his former home, as well as locales mentioned in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Haunter of the Dark, The Shunned House, and The Call of Cthulhu.

Following the tour, which begins at 3:00 p.m. and lasts for approximately 90 minutes, participants will be treated to ticket to see a film screening at the Bell Street Chapel Theatre anytime during the Festival.

"It is amazing how Lovecraft's horror writing still resonates with audiences today," commented Demetria J. Carr, Managing Director of the FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival. "Providence provided the inspiration for his most chilling and terrifying stories. This walking tour is a wonderful opportunity for his fans to connect with the man behind the writer."

STFU and call out of work.

Can't too much work, also, RI is very far from TRONE.

Contact me prior for parking instruction, then.  We have guest spots.

This exposse of the banal and prosaic behind tales of the eldrich and squamous is just about guaranteed to end at a bar somewhere.  Also hoping for overcast and light rain, to set the right mood.

 :argh!: When you said "New England", I thought you meant Australia.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Whee, reason to pull out of work early on a Friday! I'll see if I can manage this.

Actually, most of the convicts that got sent to Australia were the pick pockets, food thieves and hanky snatchers.
