To that wonderful Lovecraftian rock opera!

I made it myself. I think it is rather nice.

Anywho, I've been having a fitful week of editing. We've not been able to find an actor to play Gilman. I was always going to play the former, but it seems I am also going to have to play the latter. So I slightly edited the scene at the palace of Azathoth...

Moving forward! Please email me at brianoconnellnyc@gmail.com.

NOTICE

I have created a page on this site for Black Flag TV. While it does not have anything to do with our film, the owner put out a Tweet asking to advertise for it on a film site. I'll support that notion - always happy to help.

Props - READY!

Jason McKittrick, head of Cryptocurium, has agreed to make props! We are getting this...

...with the athame and bowl of Keziah Mason.

We plan to purchase this anywhere between the 5th and 9th of February - it will (under forgiving circumstances) ship on Valentine's Day (the 14th). We will then proceed with our ambitions. We thank Mr. McKittrick with his patience and support for our project. He is a wonderful artist - best of luck to him.

Emailing With Cryptocurium

The two "Witch House" based collections Cryptocurium has done

Jason McKittrick has emailed me regarding info on the props, and I told him what we were looking for. I am awaiting his response.

I basically asked him for the small collection (which is the second picture) with a possible prop from the big collection (in all probability, the skull of Brown Jenkin). He seems to be a very nice man and an extremely talented artist. Bravo, Mr. McKittrick!

Proof-Read of Script

Cover art for Dreams in the Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera, done wonderfully by Carlos Garcia Rivera. Maybe something similar to film poster...? Possibly not. This isn't a film of the album, it just features the soundtrack.

I've made some minor edits to the script - particularly one scene in the palace/temple of Azathoth. I believe that this nip and switch has increased a bit of suspense before the face of Nyarlathotep. I believe the music cue change also helps.

A few changes were also made in the sole Miskatonic scene the final montage, and also a certain scene between Keziah and Gilman. A fitful day of editing.

"I Have A Dream" (Short Version)

A great man who fought for peace and equality - HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY!

In Contact With Cryptocurium!

After a brief conversation with Jason McKittrick (creator of Lovecraftian props at Cryptocurium), he said he MIGHT (I stress that greatly) be able to work something out with us prop-wise, as he is a huge fan of the album Dreams in the Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera. I believe that at a later date he may disagree with our situation...but we'll try!

In other terms than us commissioning props, we have a cast planned out! It isn't fully secured, but we know that the actors/actresses have a good background (actually, with us!). I have faith in the girls who are (probably) playing Keziah and Josephine - they're our cousins, and they are pretty good actresses (in our opinion, at most).

Brendan and I are starting to envision Azathoth's palace - I made a heavy description of it in the script. I have a strong vision for the animation - something Scarfian (meaning something like the artist Gerald Scarfe would draw). Claymation? Coloured pencil? Maybe even something with a computer program? So many choices...

We are standing by for an email from Cryptocurium, while we move forward with post-production. I'll keep you guys updated. Hopefully an email from Mr. McKittrick will bring good news. We thank him, Mike Dalager, and all our other supporters! Hang tight!
