VOLUME 1: COOL AIR · VOLUME 2: DREAMS OF CTHULHU (THE ROUGH MAGIK INITIATIVE) · VOLUME 3: OUT OF MIND ·
VOLUME 4: PICKMAN'S MODEL
 
In the 1920s, impoverished horror writer Randolph Carter rents a room from Mrs. Caprezzi, an elderly land lady. Not long after settling into the shabby and almost bare room, he discovers a pool of ammonia on the floor that has leaked down the wall from the room above. Mrs. Caprezzi, while cleaning up the ammonia, regales Randolph with strange stories of Dr. Muñoz (Jack Donner, Stigmata, Star Trek, Mission Impossible), the eccentric old gentleman who lives in the room upstairs. Later, Randolph suffers a heart attack and painfully makes his way to the doctor's room, where he is treated with an unconventional medicine and makes a remarkable recovery. Befriending the doctor, Carter soon discovers the awful truth about the doctor's condition, why his room is kept intensely cold, and the fragile line that separates life and death. Featuring a stellar performance by Jack Donner as Dr. Muñoz, "Cool Air" remains a haunting reminder of the power of the human will.

The cult of the Sleeping God is on the rise. Mr. Moon is dealing with the current emergency using methods imitated by the Night Scholars (methods that he does not fully understand). When a Dreamer on a South London housing estate performs the ritual sacrifice of her two young children, Mr. Moon closes down the subsequent police investigation and has the Dreamer quickly interned at a secret location. Moon and his silent assistants deliver a grotesque sculpture found at the scene of the crime to Kenneth Reece Warren, a man who already knows too much. Warren was a psychiatrist and a former Night Scholar who now owns The Outsider Art Gallery in Hoxton.

Acclaimed by Lovecraft fans worldwide, this Bravo!Canada television show starring Christopher Heyerdahl (Blade: Trinity, The Chronicles of Riddick & "Kingdom Hospital") is available now for the first time on DVD and includes many extras.
"Out of Mind" casts an entertaining eye on the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), one of the early 20th century's masters of gothic-horror literature. The film offers an encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. Engaging in a kind of game around the writer, the film playfully winks at many of the themes characteristic of his work: the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures, and the world of dreams. Out of Mind draws its inspiration from Lovecraft's actual personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth "beyond the wall of sleep."
DVD includes: "Out of Mind: The Stories of H. P. Lovecraft" - television feature film, Two audio commentary tracks by writer/director Raymond Saint-Jean, actor Christopher Heyerdahl, and cinematographer Serge Ladouceur, John Strysik's award winning student short film "The Music of Erich Zann," Aaron Vaneks student short films, "The Outsider" and "My Necronomicon," Interviews with the crew of "The Music of Erich Zann," The third part of the continuing interview with the foremost Lovecraft scholar in the world, S. T. Joshi.
Protagonist Gabriel Martinez (Rodrigo Sepúlveda) is a journalist obsessed with finding the truth about the death of a colleague and friend Aníbal Neira (Gilberto Villarroel) who was brutally murdered while researching a news article on American painter Richard Upton Pickman (Renzo Oviedo) who's disturbing work recreates the mythological monsters of Chilean folklore and other aberrant creatures. Martinez through an art professor (Luis Alarcón) tracks the artist to Santiago. Soon the journalist arrives at Chiloé where the painter resides and experiences an intense and overflowing nightmare when he discovers the truth about Pickman and himself.
Originally shot on 16mm then edited on Betacam SP with English subtitles, Chilean Gothic, based on a strong screenplay by Gilberto Villarroel, winning the Festival Internacional de Cine de Valdivia best script award.
Other films on the collection include Geoffrey Clark's animated version of "In the Vault", Austinite Cathy Welch's 1981 B&W take on "Pickman's Model", and Giovanni Furore's Italian version of "Pickman's Model". Plus Djie Han Thung's "Between the Stars" based on a story fragment by H.P. Lovecraft.

To Die For
The Images of Peter Kennard & Cat Picton Phillipps
You'll recognize the extraordinary photo montage work of Peter Kennard. It's been with us since the 70's - not-so-quietly commenting with biting satire and double-take images. The collaboration with Cat Picton Phillipps has taken the work to new highs - Tony Blair taking a photo of himself, holiday snap style, in front of a curtain of incendiary bombs mid-explosion ? Enough said.
Over 8 hours of stunning imagery on one DVD. Turn your TV into an unlimited work of art with breathtaking still and moving images from world-renowned artists and photographers. Ambient in concept - there's no story-telling, no narrative, just a constant stream of compelling beauty.
