This music video for The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ song “20 Minutes of Oxygen” was written, directed and cut by Mike Jackson of Steam-Powered Films. It was made possible by the kind donations of fans like you and with the help of Kerberos Productions. It premiered at Cthulhupalooza II: Son of Cthulhupalooza. We present it now for you to enjoy! Please share this with your friends and get the word out about our little indie Cthulhu band!
You can purchase the song and the rest of Spaceship Zero: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on iTunes, amazon, or eBay.

Cthulhupalooza II will have an area during the entire event dedicated to vendors of eldritch merchandise, including our sponsor Strange Aeons creator Uncle Mike’s Worldwide.
We still have a couple tables that are available. If you or your company is interested in selling merchandise to the teeming masses at Cthulhupalooza please contact info@secondlevelwizards.com for more information. Naturally the more Lovecraft-related the better, but anything nerdy will fit in!

Don’t forget, participants in the bake sale get FREE ADMISSION to Cthulhupalooza II and every contestant will walk away with a prize package full of goodies from our glorious sponsors such as Drexoll Games and Strategies Hobbies, just to name a couple.

Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) is a Roseville, Minnesota-based game company that creates and publishes role-playing, board, and card games, most appropriately for attendees of Cthulhupalooza, the Arkham Horror Board game, out of print from 1987 until 2005. In the game,
gates to other planes open throughout the town. If too many gates open, a powerful alien being will enter, likely destroying the town and possibly threatening the world. The investigators must avoid or fight alien creatures that enter Arkham through the gates, enter the gates themselves, survive the alien places beyond, return to Arkham, and close the gates.
FFG has graciously provided not only a copy of Arkham Horror but also the expansion King in Yellow. Both will be part of the Grand Prize for the Miskatonic Middle School Bake Sale competition. Register today on cthulhupalooza.com
Still more prizes to be announced, so get out your eldritch recipes and fill out your bake sale registration form while we still have spots left. Don’t forget, contestants in the bake sale get free admission to Cthulhupalooza and partial proceeds go to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
