A chronicle of the life, work and mind that created the Cthulhu mythos.
(*H.P. Lovecraft quote*) - "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear."
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) is widely considered to be the forefather of modern-day horror-fiction.
Through interviews and stills - This "Fear of the Unknown" bio-documentary not only looks at the life and times of Lovecraft - But, it also discusses (in fair detail) the overall influence and impact that his "tales-of-the-weird" have had on horror fiction and fright films of today.
I think it's interesting to note that during his lifetime (as a writer) Lovecraft was not recognized for his work, at all, and he inevitably died in literal poverty.
