THE SILVER SCREEN DRIPS BLOOD AND MADNESS!

Trail Of Cthulhu goes to the movies! Pelgrane Press pays homage to the classic horror films of the 1930s with this 192-page compendium of celluloid thrills and chills!

THE BACKLOT TEEMS WITH LOVECRAFTIAN MENACE!

Trail Of Cthulhu creators Kenneth Hite and Robin D. Laws team up, marshalling their deep mastery of cinematic lore to bring you a landmark collection of Cthulhoid scenarios and source material.

GASP at the startling parallels between Hollywood and HPL horror in Nitrate Gothic. Critical exploration this blood-curdling could only issue from one pen-that of Kenneth Hite!

SHUDDER at the strange setting that is Backlot Gothic. Wolves howl across blackened hillsides. Hunchbacked madmen stalk through forests of dead, naked trees. The impossible machinery of mad science hisses and sparks in basement laboratories deep beneath ancestral manors. Is this gloomy black and white world Eastern Europe? Germany? England? None of these places-yet all of them at once!

TREMBLE at the hours of mysterious play found within its dozen pulse-quickening scenarios.

 

  • Cheat death with Dr. Grave Dust.
  • Face the dread count himself in Dreams Of Dracula.
  • Track a bestial killer Under A Werewolf Moon.
  • Dare to cross the threshold of The Black Chateau.
  • Learn the murderous secret of The Non-Euclidean Man.
  • Hear the whispers of Nyarlathotep on The Night I Died.
  • Walk in zombie footsteps to encounter the White Bokor.
  • Unearth a mummy's curse, bringing Death Across the Nile.
  • Explore the prehistoric jungle isle of The Green Ape.
  • Penetrate the dark heart of Africa to meet the Lord of the Jungle.
  • Flee from enemies old and new in The Preserve.
  • Finally, complete your tour of filmic menace by venturing into the darkest pit of insanity yet-Hollywood itself, in The Final Reel!

I actually started out prepared to dislike this one. However of all of the scenario packs I've read so far for Trail of Cthulhu, I actually found this one the most interesting to date. Megan Robertson, as usual, has done an excellent job of describing the [...]

This work opens with 'Double Feature,' a scholarly essay comparing and contrasting 1930s horror movies with Lovecraft's work: similar themes but different treatments. Lovecraft describes everything in detail while movies suggest with light and shadow, muc [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
