This month, Full Moon Features is returning to Lovecraft with the newest entry in what they’ve dubbed the “Miskatonic U” series. A follow-up to From Beyond, Re-Animator, and Lurking Fear, MISKATONIC U: THE RESONATOR has just wrapped production, and Rue Morgue has exclusive behind-the-scenes photos!
Set on the fictional “Miskatonic University” campus in Arkham, Massachusetts where all sorts of fantastic and unworldly events have been known to unfold in Lovecraft lore, MISKATONIC U: THE RESONATOR follows six gifted students as they navigate life after one of them, Crawford Tillinghast, builds a machine known as the “Resonator.” The machine allows one to experience multiple dimensions while navigating the unsavory beasts that dwell within them. But things get complicated when Tillinghast realizes that the prototype of his creation has not only released murderous and deadly creatures into his world, but also has affected his own reality.
Inspired by both the works of legendary fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft and beloved genre director Stuart Gordon and created by horror powerhouse, Charles Band, and writer-director William Butler (Madhouse, Furnace, Demonic Toys 2), MISKATONIC U: THE RESONATOR stars acclaimed and internationally beloved cult film actors Michael Pare (Eddie And The Cruisers, The Philadelphia Experiment, Streets Of Fire) and Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Fast Times At Ridgemont High) as well as a breakout group of young talent including Christina Braa, Dane Oliver, Amanda Victoria Jones and Austin Woods. The film also features performances and cameos from many of the original cast members that have long been associated with Gordon and the films from Band’s Empire Pictures universe.
