I'm certain there are others, but that's all I could think of as cream of the crop at the moment.

Have you ever seen The Call of Cthulhu, Dagon, or In The Mouth Of Madness?


I have indeed. I own The Call Of Cthulhu, and I want to buy Dagon sometime, as it's the perfect companion to Cthulhu as retellings of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I grew up with a Dad filling my head with Lovecraft's fiction, till I picked up my first anthology of his lesser known short stories called The Doom That Came To Sarnath. I've been hooked ever since.

I picked up a nice hefty book a couple years ago with all of Lovecraft's fiction. I finally have been making my way through it. I'm about halfway through now and I love it. I had only read a couple of his stories before I got the book, but what I had read I thought was great and I decided to get the book after I watched the Call of Cthulhu.

^ I've been watching and reviewing a lot of Lovecraft movies for my Movie a Day topic. I loved In the Mouth of Madness, Re-Animator, Beyond Re-Animator, Cthulhu, and Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown, and I thought The Haunted Palace, From Beyond, Bride of Re-Animator, Necronomicon, and The Call of Cthulhu were decent.

It's an excellent documentary about Lovecraft. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube. I'm not sure if it was uploaded legally or not, so I won't post a direct link.

Don't tell me anything about it in the meantime, as I'm expecting it for Christmas.
