5.0 out of 5 stars ASPECT RATIO AND SUBTITLE PROBLEM IS FIXED!!, October 20, 2008
By Lesser Knowns (San Mateo, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Microcinema International, (currently this DVD's exclusive distributor) would like everyone to know that the 2008 edition of The Weird Tale Collection, Volume 1 (release date: October 28, 2008) has been updated by Lurker Films so that the aspect ratios on both The Yellow Sign and The King in Yellow are as the filmmakers intended them to be. Also, the Portuguese subtitles are no longer a duplicate of the Spanish subtitles, and are in fact, in Portuguese. All customers ordering the 2008 edition of this DVD through Amazon will receive the corrected version of The Weird Tale Collection, Vol. 1.
Hopes this helps!

I really enjoyed the documentary on Chambers. A great resource on a person who we sadly know very little about, due to his knack for privacy.
Tupilak was also very good, it didn't belong on the disc certainly, but it was a nice break from the main feature...
"The Yellow Sign" was a contrived mess, with over acting, terrible dialog for the most part (Aldones was amazing in spite all this), and frankly I think it gets high praise because it's a "one of a kind" deal. Not much media associated with the King in Yellow, so fans are inclined to be lenient.
My question is, did the script writer even study the material, I mean he certainly read it, but I don't think he really had a grasp on it.

Cthulhu-related short films, April 23 2010

The Yellow Sign (45 minutes) - A young girl's dreams lead her to a reclusive artist, and hints of a darker, weirder underlying reality.
Tupilak (13 minutes) - An Arctic expedition goes bad, and a curse lives on.
The King in Yellow (6 minutes) = More experimental film.
Plus a batch of outtakes and a short documentary on Robert Chambers in Paris. Small budget stuff, but much in keeping with the feel of the mythos.
