Edinburgh Zombie Club present 'Lovecraft in Leith' - 'In The Mouth of Madness' Directed by John Carpenter (1994)

Join us for a film at Argonaut Books.

With the disappearance of hack horror writer Sutter Cane, all Hell is breaking loose...literally! Author Cane, it seems, has a knack for description that really brings his evil creepy-crawlies to life. Insurance investigator John Trent is sent to investigate Cane's mysterious vanishing act and ends up in the sleepy little East Coast town of Hobb's End. The fact that this town exists as a figment of Cane's twisted imagination is only the beginning of Trent's problems...

John Carpenter often incorporated a Lovecraft influence into his films (especially The Thing & Prince Of Darkness) but this is his most overtly Lovecraftian film, a reality bending tale of trans-dimensional horror, complete with mutant townsfolk, sinister churches and rips in the fabric of reality itself. An unjustly overlooked film, while it's not at the heights of his classics, it's still a great movie.

Tickets are free and include a 10% discount on books for the evening.
