In addition to Mark Hamill, he is also joined by some of the premier names in Hollywood horror and fantasy, including Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Jeffrey Combs (The Re-Animator), and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser). Film legend Christopher Plummer also stars.

The film has already won a few accolades, taking home Best in the Festival: Scifi at the Hot Springs International Horror Film Festival and Best Director at FearNYC!

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was a renowned author, still famous for his influential works. The Undersea Kingdom takes place when Howard was only seven years old, long before he found acclaim as one of the most significant 20th century authors of horror fiction.
