    I can now die a happy man.

    At that same 1990 centennial conference one had the pleasure of sitting at a downtown Providence cafe with four or so other attendees, one of whom was Gahan Wilson. Warm and unassuming in person, chatting about several graphical and prose projects he had underway at the time.
     
    And AHA! On the second night of the 3-day event, at a Providence movie house, was the world premiere of...!!!
     

     
    IMDB mistakenly gives the release date as 1989. But it was actually there at that conference in August 1990.

    Let's do The Shunned House instead.
     
    The Rats in the Walls?
     
    My ex-hubby was an interior architect & interior designer & decorator (quite talented, but alas developed eventually into rather a dreadful human being, just this side of a shoggoth). I had thought of writing an HPL memorium to him:
     
    The Unrenovated!

    I am so happy to see you all love Lovecraft! I have always been very fond of his work. When I came to the States, my first American friend was an English teacher. White, 30s, crazy, very smart and educated. I was very excited I was going to talk with an American about my three favorite English language authors, Poe-Lovecraft-Wilde. She only liked Poe, Wilde was a second line writer, and she did not know who Lovecraft was. I had the impression he was not a recognized author in his own country, and I have kept that first impression until right now. Thank you, guys!

    I've hear tell there's a charming little inn in Innsmouth called Gilman House. What say you, @AdamSmith ?

    One has of course laid hand with love on this thing, and was there on the occasion of its commissioning.
     
    An academic conference hosted by Brown University whose star point was the presence of a greatly aged but still very lively Frank Belnap Long giving in-person reminiscences of HPL.

    Although the absolutely best paper was given by one Barton St. Armand of Brown, in my view far the highest of all the fairly considerable intellectual firepower that had, by then, at last been turned toward HPL's oeuvre.

    And of course presiding over all was the dean of HPL scholars, S.T. Joshi. Whose magesterial biography is a towering work.
