Miskatonic Acid Test and beyond...


American Entropy Productions, the mad genii behind The Miskatonic Acid Test, have several other Lovecraftian films up their creative sleeves, and you can read all about them below! But first, check out the five and a half minute trailer for The Miskatonic Acid Test (currently in post-production)...

About the film: It's HP Lovecraft a-go-go in "The Miskatonic Acid Test", the first feature from American Entropy Productions. It's 1969, and cosmic horror infects a psychedelic rock "happening" in witch-haunted Arkham, Mass. It's a zonked out brew of poetry, philosophy, cosmic horror, and 60's-style acid rock; probably the first horror movie that's more heavily influenced by the Monkees' "Head" than by George Romero...




Howard and Howard is a historical comedy that starts from an audacious premise: what if pulp authors H.P. Lovecraft (creator of the Cthulhu mythos) and Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian) had been roommates in early-thirties Manhattan? The effete Lovecraft and two-fisted Howard embark on a series of odd-couple adventures...

Howard and Howard is currently in pre-production...


In the quiet bywaters of southern Maine, something strange lurks in an abandoned mill by the edge of a derelict river. What became of occult-obsessed teenaged genius Billy Butler? What could be the meaning of the strange symbols scrawled in chalk on the floor of a room in the sub-basement, or of this strange piece of grafitti: "Lovecraft was Right"? And what was the horrible thing seen by young Jimmy Scolera on the day his friend Frank DuFresne disappeared? The Abomination will be a genuinely scary Stephen King-meets-Lovecraft horror movie, an attempt at a genuinely unnerving modern horror movie in the Val Lewton style. Lovecraft done right, a film to make your hair stand on end as your mind falls to its knees...

The Abomination is currently scripting...
