a LITTLE TERRORS Special Presentation

LOVECRAFT RE-ANIMATED

An evening of Lovecraftian animated short films to celebrate HPL’s 125th birthday!

Thursday, August 20th, 9:30pm, MLT Carlton Cinema, $10

Although LITTLE TERRORS does not officially return until September 30th, we have teamed up with the excellent people at Spectacular Optical (www.spectacularoptical.ca) to deliver a program of Lovecraftian animated oddities well-worth the trip to the theatre.

In addition, this event will be the Toronto book-launch for Kier-La Janisse & Paul Corupe’s SATANIC PANIC: POP-CULTURAL PARANOIA IN THE 1980s:

LT-alumnus director McTurk returns (The Narrative of Victor Karloch)! A young man returns home to unearth the dark secret of the Mill at Calder’s End. Utilizing incredibly-impressive puppetry, this short has atmosphere to burn!
