The Theatre Bizarre is a low budget portmanteau-style horror films (the likes of which seem to have become rather popular again in recent years), notable for the inclusion of Richard Stanley’s adaptation of Clark Ashton Smith’s (somewhat notorious) short tale, The Mother of Toads - an adaptation which incorporates additional and significant elements of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos.
Stanley was one of the guests of honour at NecronomiCon 2017, and the presentation he gave documenting the process of getting an adaptation of Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space onto the big screen was one of the standout events for me. Apparently The Colour Out of Space should go into production next year and, based on his presentation, if Stanley manages to get his final vision of the tale on to film, we might be anticipatng something truely weird and cosmic in scope.
