Synopsis

Howard Philips Lovecraft (1890 – 1937) was an American writer world-famous for his horror fiction works. During his lifetime, Lovecraft was unknown and published by Pulp magazines only. Horror fiction is a genre of literature, which is intended to scare, frighten and shock its readers, inspire terror in them. The author comes to an attic room, where a mysterious man used to live and weird and horrifying events keep happening even after his death. The man showing the room warns not to touch anything, but the author disobeys and contacts the world of spirits. He sees what happened to the person who lived in that room, but then, it appears, the clergyman wants to get him. This is a wonderful sample of Lovecraftian horror with the unforgettable atmosphere and terrifying ending.A SmartTouch Media production.
