Wonderful stuff foleypro. Lovecraft is legend and I'm sure you know influenced all major writers of horror today. I have a fair collection of his materials and have loved his work for years - the tendrils of his writing always seem to creep into my work. It's a shame that much of his work has been over-analysed, but you can see clear parallels between his approach and that of say, Stephen King. For example, Lovecraft created a fictional town of Arkham and King also created his Castlerock which reverberates throughout his work. Reanimator also made some good cult watching. I congratulate you again and am very envious. When I think of Lovecraft, I think of 'unspeakable terror'. Thus, much of the atmosphere is created by what is not seen, or not seen so clearly. Good luck and keep us informed. Eco (a newcomer to the forum)
