Lovecraft story?<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cthulhulives.org\" target=\"_blank\">H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society<\/a> has a pair of films &mdash; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cthulhulives.org\/cocmovie\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Call of Cthulhu<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cthulhulives.org\/Whisperer\/trailer.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Whisperer in Darkness<\/a>&#8221; &mdash; that would make great gifts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Call&#8221; is a black-and-white, silent film done in an expressionistic style from the 1920s. &#8220;Whisperer,&#8221; still in black-and-white, looks as if it&#8217;s a talky from the 1930s. While they are adaptations of Lovecraft stories, don&#8217;t expect literal ones. There are some changes to better suit a film. But both are perfect for an evening of shivers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Call&#8221; is available as a DVD ($20); while &#8220;Whisperer&#8221; has both a DVD ($24.50) or a Blu-Ray disc ($27.50). Posters, t-shirts and soundtrack CDs can be added to the gift.
