S.H.P.L.F.Stockholm H.P. Lovecraft Festival

1stMeet our guests and contributors: Einar Baldvin

As part of the countdown to the festival I’ve asked our esteemed guests and contributors three quick questions:

1. What was your first encounter with H.P. Lovecraft?
2. Which one of his stories do you like the best?
3. What will you be doing at SHPLFV?

You will probably find a lot of common ground reading their answers in the days to come. Our second contributor to be interviewed is filmmaker Einar Baldvin:

Still from ”The Pride of Strathmoor”.

1. My friend Sölvi, introduced me to him when I was around 8 in Iceland. He was reading all the books and wanted us to play the roleplaying game The Call of Cthulhu. I read a lot of the stories around that time, even though my English was not great it was good enough to get hooked on his wonderful way pulling one into his stories.

2. It’s hard to say, I do love ”Facts Concerning The Late Arthur Jermyn” enough that I am turning it into my next animated film but ”The Shadow over Innsmouth” and ”The Rats in The Walls” are some of my favorites.

3. Unfortunately I cannot attend but my film ‘The Pride of Strathmoor’ which was influenced by Lovecraft will be screening there.
