H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in Darkness to Darken Video Stores December 15th on DVD

H.P. Lovecraft’s dark tale of terror, The Whisperer in Darkness, is slated to ship December 15th on DVD. This tale dares to venture deep into the hearts of horrific science fiction imagination and it will be delivered in the same vein as the H.P. Lovecraft Society's previous video endevour, Call of Cthulhu, in “Mythoscope.” This post-production technique gives the digital cinematography an antiquarian look.

In this story, Albert Wilmarth (Matt Foyer), a professor of folklore from Miskatonic University investigates a dark legend about strange creatures rumoured to dwell somewhere in the remote mountains of Vermont. But in whom he talks to, the question of who is the victim, or what is the prey, needs to be asked.

This product has literally been years in the making; some parts of the production went over budget and financial difficulties ensued which prevented a timely release. Sandy Peterson, author of Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu RPG, gave the final push with an investment of funds. Post-production wrapped and the discs are now being pressed.

The HPLHS is not holding back in this product’s delivery. This two disc release includes: a 47 minute behind the scenes documentary, additional featurettes, outtakes and photos are planned. Even a replica prop is hinted at for this release.

A Blu-ray edition is planned, but it won’t be available until sometime after the New Year. The list also includes streaming video on demand and distrbution through mainstream outlets.
