"Enter the Dagon" is a short film parody currently in production. It is being created with the intention of submitting it to the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon. The theme behind the film short is the struggle between literary purists and movie makers. On one hand you have fans of author H.P. Lovecraft who have the expectation of seeing faithful film adaptions, even if that is frequently impossible. On the other hand, you have film makers trying to appeal to a wider audience and make money...sometimes pimping and maiming the original source material into a shameful display. At the root of it all you have the author himself, who hated the medium of film. He claimed he never wanted his stories turned into film. So what happens? They make what has to be over a hundred movies based upon or inspired by his work....and even have a film festival in his honor. That is irony.

Our film deals with a serious fan's attempt at a faithful film adaption of a cherished horror tale, and the corrupted form it takes as it goes through the Hollywood process.
