Lovecraftian mockumentary about Cthulhoid Woodstock

By Cory Doctorow at 5:31 pm Wednesday, Mar 9

Kim sez, "Lovecraft would plotz. Garage rockers with DV cameras are making a mockumentary about a sixties rock festival in Arkham that goes awry when the hippies open up the Necronomicon instead of the Whole Earth Catalog. With musical accompaniment from the Conqueror Wyrms and the Plasma Miasma."

Frank: I was just going to say that the Arkham sound is something new, something natural, something that grew out of the local scene, something that doesn’t sound like anything else...

Nancy: Organic.

Frank: Yeah, like Nancy said. Organic. Something that grew like a living thing, not something manufactured.

Nancy: But not something cultivated. Something that grew wild. A wildflower.

Cameraman: What sort of flower?

Nancy: (laughs) I don’t know. Christ, I can’t believe you’re going to hold me to that metaphor.

Frank: (thinks. answers very carefully) A moonflower.

Nancy: What?

Frank: It’s a type of morning glory. It only blooms at night.
