I don't think it could be done. People would try to make a trilogy rather than a standalone.

kek, I wonder if the elder gods add anything to that movie
Juan Bell
not everything is a franchise, as much as people like to spread this meme, if you want to show the cities and so on however you'd probably need a bigger budget which might force you into that franchise territory though to be fair
Nolan Harris
Lovecraft cinematic universe would be G*d-tier.
James Sanchez
it could be if they kept the connections very minimal
Zachary Martinez
You can’t really express abject horror. The whole point of cosmic horror is the grand and terrible realization that all humanity is insignificant and there our things so crazy out there it will drive us mad.
You could make Shadow over Innsmouth or Haunter of the dark but it will just be a horror film.

>At the Mountains of Madness
>HBO miniseries
>same crew who did The Terror
>get John Carpenter to advise and get the guy who did the practical effects on The Thing to make elder things puppets
>have some core camraderie between the crew for the human element
>make a couple of hazy high budget cgi sequences showing visions of the history the murals provide but only very sparsely and put some money into showing the non-euclidian giant cityscapes
>only show glimpses of the Shoggoth as it only partially moves out the shadow and you never see more than parts of it
>get someone who does god tier sound design, it will be needed
>also probably cut the part with the albino penguins
Nicholas Lewis
I disagree. I felt the same feeling of feeling small in a vast universe and having the veil of our own perception of reality slowly be peeled away that I get when reading Lovecraft when watching The Mist and Annihilation, so I think it can be done.

Mind-controlling parasites from space have come to Earth and now control some significant percentage of the population. The victims of these parasites then begin to rally a political movement for equal rights for their parasite overlords, all the while trying to infect other people. Of course, the infected can't be held accountable for their actions, because the parasites just switch host if they think they're in imminent danger. Thus, an absurdist comedy is born.

Rats in the Walls works best as a psychological horror. It has the least cosmic elements.
Angel Turner
I don't know why but when I read it I felt it would be hard to shoot
Robert Howard
I had an idea for a Lovecraft inspired comic, a horror romance story. It was about a girl who joins a cult that secretly has strange alien connections. Her ex is worried about her. He's part of a bunch of online anonymous users on an anime message board who start an activist online campaign to expose the cult. I came up with this idea in 2006.

It would be a 3 hour continuous shot of a man repeatedly trying to write a script for a Lovecraft adaptation, and subsequently being beaten on the head with an aluminum bat. Each time a booming voice would say, "LEAVE IT IN PRINT, WHERE IT BELONGS, YOU TALENTLESS VULTURES. "

Resurrect Kubrick and have him recapture whatever magic he got when he made this:
