Lurker Films Announces the H.P. Lovecraft Collection Volume 3: Out of Mind on DVD

Lurker Films Announces the H.P. Lovecraft Collection Volume 3: Out of Mind on DVD: "Lurker Films, Inc. the world's leading producer and distributor of Lovecraft related film products announced the immediate availability of 'The H.P. Lovecraft Collection™ Volume 3: Out of Mind' on DVD, available from merchants throughout the United States.

'Out of Mind' casts an entertaining eye on the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), one of the early 20th century's masters of gothic-horror literature. The film offers an encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. Engaging in a kind of game around the writer, the film playfully winks at many of the themes characteristic of his work: the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures, and the world of dreams. Out of Mind draws its inspiration from Lovecraft's actual personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth 'beyond the wall of sleep.'
