Lovecraftian Halloween Special
Lovecraftian horror, also known as cosmic horror, is a subgenre that emphasizes the unknowable and incomprehensible, as opposed to “ just plain” gore or other shocking elements.It is named after the American author H. P. Lovecraft, whose work emphasizes themes of cosmic fear, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks of scientific discovery.
To get in the mood for Halloween, this evening will be an ode to Lovecraftian horror. We will start with the pre-film ‘Dreaming No More’ by local filmmaker Anthony Esteban, which will be a Groningen premiere as well. We are keeping the feature film a surprise for now, do you still have the courage to come?
