"It is to be made of sighs and tears...

It is to be all made of faith and service...

It is to be all made of fantasy,
All made of passion, and all made of wishes, All adoration, duty, and
observance, All humbleness, all patience, and impatience, All purity...
What 'tis to love."

The Bat
by Roland West

October 18th at 7 pm

Just in time for Halloween, we present Roland West's long-lost silent thriller "The Bat" with an original music score written and performed by silent film aficionado, Matthew Marshall. "The Bat" is a classic old spooky-house mystery with unusually rich, for its time, special effects, cinematography and production design. This film also served as part of the inspiration for Bob Kane's dark detective, Batman.

The Call of Cthulhu
by Andrew Leman

January 31st at 7:00 pm

Please join us for the very independent film "The Call of Cthulhu." Familiar with the works of H. P. Lovecraft? Then you know how difficult it has been to bring his world to the screen. Now, in a new work by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, under the direction of Andrew Leman, it has become a reality. This newly made 2005 silent film eerily captures the true feel of a Lovecraft story, taking you to all the dark places in just the right style. Why silent? I think you will understand if you read Lovecraft and come to see "The Call of Cthulhu" presented in Mythoscope.
