A film noir adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 'Pickman's Model'. 'Pickman's Song' is a grim journey into an artist's obsession with true horror. Add a dash of camp with a dramatic rock music conclusion.

Synopsis:
During about of insomnia the artist Pickman discovers the diary of his eccentric great uncle. Discoveries within the diary lead Pickman to a maddening search for the embodiment of true horror. His obsession leads him to the lair of one who is willing to feed his dark desire, for a price. The Faustian conclusion brings the artist's work to darkness and the subject, at last, to horrible light.
