Love That Lovecraft!
The Spanish film studio Lince is making an animated movie based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft called Ages of Madness, and this is the teaser. It really doesn’t have much to it, but I figured any animated movie based on Lovecraft is worthy of your attention. You know, I once rented a condo on a placid island of ignorance. The rent was cheap, but the neighbors were always trying to eat my soul. Basically, a placid island of ignorance is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. (Via Twitch)
