“Re-Animator” in a “Conan” situation

SFFaudio News

io9 a science fiction blogThe io9 blog has a story related to our Broken Sea vs. CPI stories |LINK 1|Link 2| we’ve been running. A corp named Re-Animator LLC has sent a Cease and Desist order, and claimed trademark protection on, the word “Re-Animator” and “is fighting comic book companies from publishing anything having to do with the term.” Re-Animator LLC trademarked the word in 2005. Which is several years after the first two Re-Animator movies were released and nearly 90 years since it was first written by H.P. Lovecraft.

HPLHS has more Lovecraft audio drama coming

SFFaudio Online Audio

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s “Dark Adventure Radio Theatre”Carsten Schmitt has some interesting news about the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society‘s Dark Adventure Radio Theatre:

After publishing “The Dunwich Horror” quite recently, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s “Dark Adventure Radio Theatre” has announced the publication of yet another (audio) dramatization of one of the Grandmaster’s stories. “The Shadow Out of Time” will be available from October 1st 2008 on CD and as an MP3 download. As usual, it can be expected that the CD will not only feature the audio drama but also a host of goodies, like “authentic” (i.e. fake) newspaper clippings and photos. And its getting even better! Already announced is an adaption of probably one of the most popular and well-known stories of Lovecraft, “The Shadow over Innsmouth“. To prove that this not only a Cthulhuists wet dream DART have put up a production diary, including a seven minute “behind the scenes video”, which not only shows the actors in the recording studio but also provides some glimpses into the dialogue for the coming “The Shadow over Innsmouth“. Seems like times are looking good for Lovecraftian audio theatre. Fhtagn!

Cool, and Carsten promises a review of the “The Dunwich Horror” too!
