CHARLES FORT MAKES CAMEO IN LATEST LOVECRAFT SOCIETY MOVIE!

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society - the same team of pro-ams who produced the excellent Call of Cthulhu "silent film" a few years back - have struck again! This time, they've adapted the H.P.'s classic tale, The Whisperer in Darkness. And guess who makes a guest cameo in the preview? None other than Charles Fort, himself! The film-makers seem to have cast him as a 1930's version of Art Bell or George Nouri. Okay, so Fort doesn't actually appear Lovecraft's original story, but that's a minor issue. Lovecraft and Fort are two of the key personalities for understanding the Apocalyptic Age in which we are currently embroiled, so I'm willing to give the HPLHS a pass on this one. Besides, if the movie is half as good as Call was, I'm more than willing to part with a few sheckles in support of the cause...
