H.P. Lovecraft Forum

I occasionally do favors for my friends. One friend, whose name might be William Blake Smith (yes, you may have read some fiction by W.B. Smith), is a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft. Being somewhat of a Lovecraft fan myself, I decided on a whim to create a forum for H.P. Lovecraft fans on Xenite.Org in July 1999. I figured Blake would enjoy meeting other Lovecraft fans online.

That was, I think, the last of the old version 1.0 forums we had on Xenite.Org. You can see the H.P. Lovecraft Forum archive that preserves the first 90 messages from the forum before we changed software and formats. Blake actually participated in a few of the discussions.

We have since moved on, however, and I've worked with a couple of other fans to keep our current H.P. Lovecraft Forum active. Lovecraft fans come and go. Mostly they just come and read the news stories we post there.

Here are some of the oldest threads from the forum:

• Call of Cthulhu computer game


• a sketch of Great Cthulhu by HPL himself


• Cthulhu leaps into the 21st century!


• The Horror in the Theater: an H.P. Lovecraft Triptych of Terror


• H.P.Lovecraft Movies


• The Lovecraftian Universe


• SciFi Channel showing "Dagon" on Sunday


• i need help understanding some tales...


• Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu

Some of the more recent threads have been popular reading items but I'll be honest -- they didn't generate much discussion. I would be interested in hearing what H.P. Lovecraft fans would like to see in a forum. Feel free to contact me (Michael) with some suggestions or requests.

• Fall of Chthulhu comic series


• Oscar-winning animator developing Lovecraft biographical film


• New Straits Times on Arkham Series


• How Lovecraft saved role-playing games


• "The Translated Man" Is a Lovecraftian Police Procedural


• The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft

Please drop by and let us know about your passion for Lovecraft. We're really big fans and will enjoy talking about the books, the movies, the actors, the directors, the stories, etc. with you.
