Lurker Films is proud to announce the immediate availability of The H.P. Lovecraft Collection® Volume 5: Strange Aeons (The Thing on the Doorstep) and the upcoming re-mastered releases of Volume 2: Dreams of Cthulhu (The Rough Magik Initiative) and Volume 3: Out of Mind (The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft).
Strange Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep, directed by Eric Morgret featuring music by composer Richard Temple (Untraceable, Ghost Rider), is a unique tale about the unfortunate match between scholar Edward Derby, and Asenath Waite—a young heiress with mysterious hypnotic powers. Soon after their marriage, Edward exhibits severe mood swings and radical personality changes. What is the source of Asenanth's sway over Edward? What influence does her deceased sorcerer father (Ephraim Waite) have over her? The only thing standing between Asenath and her unspeakable plans to sow death and madness is Edward's graduate advisor, professor Dan Upton. But is Dan too late to stop what has been set into motion? The film includes English subtitles, audio commentary by director and screenwriter, a bonus "making of" featurette, and slideshow.
Also on this DVD are Patrick Weber's short film Maria's Hubris (also based on Lovecraft's Thing on the Doorstep) and the animated shorts From Beyond by Michael Granberry and Don't Feed the Book by Robin Ator. Bonus features include: an interview with director John Carpenter, teasers from the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, trailers for upcoming films, and a four-page booklet. For more info, head on over
