Start your weekend of spooky movies with an informal pre-party at The Lovecraft, Portland's own horror-themed bar and nightclub, located at 421 SE Grand.

Come out, meet us and a whole horde of zomb... er, "like-minded" people over drinks, horror-themed music, and a reel of classic short film faves and trailers.

Party starts at 11pm and there is NO COVER
(note that if you arrive early, another event, which does charge a cover, might still be going on)

Come on up and strut your decayed stuff on our stage. Dress as your favorite undead character, or something completely original, but remember... this is a horror film festival, not an anime convention!

Guest judges include Portland's own Living Dead Girls and Eraserhead/Deadite Press.

With over $200 in prizes donated by The Lovecraft Bar, Sigh Co. Graphics, Artist Liv Rainey-Smith, and The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, you won't want to miss this opportunity to get bloody for us.
