The Stormcrow is coming...

This announcement marks the breaking of a new age for 8 Sided Films, and is one of the big developments I’ve been alluding to on Twitter.

Until we can announce the names of everyone involved in the press, I’m going to be very tight lipped about who is contributing to this project… but it’s time to let you know about the project itself.

Two weeks ago, 8 Sided Films received a commitment with regard to the financing of The Stormcrow:

Three thousand years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Medo heard the call of an entity ancient beyond measure and vast beyond all comprehension. Driven mad by unspeakable visions, Medo entombed himself alive to chronicle the words of his cosmic master. In the year 1099 AD, a crusading monk by the name of Antonius Cato discovered the ancient tomb of Medo. In solitude, he recorded Medo’s etchings before succumbing to madness himself.

In 1932, a professor of the arcane known as THE STORMCROW uncovers the tomb of Medo and the bones of the monk Antonius. Medo’s tomb has long since fallen into ruin, and much of Medo’s original text is lost… but the manuscript of Antonius is missing entirely.

Four years later, the Stormcrow follows the disappearance of a young girl to the thick, removed backwoods of South Carolina. Using Antonius’ missing manuscript, a cult of devout practitioners have carried out Medo’s ritual for generations. Now, the time has come for a being of ancient, otherworldly power to cast unspeakable horror across the Earth...

In the rich, pulpy tradition of H.P. Lovecraft, The Stormcrow is a story about the dark terrors quietly lurking between the stars, about the hopeless insignificance of mankind in the face of true, infinite power…

…and about the mad, reckless desire all men share to know and master this power, in spite of their limitations. Like Freddy Krueger and Hannibal Lecter before him, The Stormcrow is a villain forged by the horrors in which he finds himself - with an endless sea of monstrous terror to explore. As an occult investigator and adventurer in the classic style of a 1930’s pulp novel, The Stormcrow has uncovered many of the world’s forgotten mysteries. He will uncover many more on his epic journey into the deepest horrors of the universe.

From film, television, and video games to transmedia, The Stormcrow honors a subgenre of horror that has thrived since the days of Lovecraft himself, and which has never been faithfully brought to the screen… until now.

Fans of horror, rejoice! Your dark prayers have been heard by the Other Gods, and the breaking dawn brings with it a horror beyond all imagination!
