What else is worth watching?
Lovecraftian movies
Zachary Wright
Jaxon Phillips
Luis Williams
Videodrome?
Christopher Butler
The Mist.
I think HPL works a lot better in writing, though.
A visual representation of a monster or whatever is never as terrifying as a vague description of interdimensional horrors whose mere mention can bring a man to the brink of madness.
Dylan Bennett
>in the mouth of madness
Not paticularly Lovecraftian, also not a very good movie.
>event horizon
Not Lovecraftian, also a bad movie
>the color out of space
Terrible adaptation of a great story.

From Beyond is pretty good.
It's probably more based in reality then we think.

loops =/= cthulu

AHHHH NIGGERMAN SAVE ME
Benjamin Stewart
>From Beyond is pretty good
No it isn't. It's an enjoyable campy flick like the rest of Stuart Gordon's filmography, but nothing beyond that. Another terrible adaptation of a great story.

Dumbass.

Lovecraftian != just Cthulhu

Joke aside that was a good adaptation, even if the body horror was definitely added to give the audience something horrible to look at.

In what plane of existence?

Why has no one ever tried a straightforward Call of Cthulhu adaptation, or really any movie that has Cthulhu in it? You see a bunch of knock-offs but no one's ever willing to give us the big squid monster.
Daniel Gonzalez
Keep seething pleb.
Levi Kelly
>Mouth of Madness bad
The Whisperer in Darkness is fun, but it's 100% shlock. I had high hopes for it after CoC, but it's all a big meme, with an aerial chase against Mi-Gos in the end. Still a fun watch
Josiah Rogers

Nicholas Hill
I really want a good adaptation of The Dunwich Horror. That's an awesome novel imo
Eli Collins
Underwater has Cthulhu in it. Its not a bad movie.
Ryder Murphy
Sorry, I meant anyone with money
Didn't know about that! Looks like a less straightforward take on the design tho
Jace Turner
this had a budget of 20k
Jonathan Richardson
>Lovecraftian =/= just Cthulhu
THIS.
He's not even the only or best among the elder gods and old ones.
Jackson Jackson
Step aside, plebs.
Lovecraft experts will tell you that dogs killing Wilbur isn't Lovecraftian. Also Zoomies will hate an invisible monster, you're supposed to see the monster.

>Lovecraft experts will tell you that dogs killing Wilbur isn't Lovecraftian
Only Lovecraft can decide what is Lovecraftian desu. And there's enough cats in other novels. Dogs have the right to shine too!
And I do agree on the zoomer part. Not sure if the invisible abomination would work for a mainstream audience...
Gavin Turner
This was a nice surprise
Austin Allen
>Mouth of Madness bad
Didn't say it was bad, but it's not Carpenter's best film. It's very messy and uneven. And it doesn't feel very Lovecraftian to me, more like a nod to Stephen King with some references to Lovecraft's work here and there.
Prince of Darkness is for me Carpenter's Lovecraftian film, even though it's not great.
And yeah, Wisperer in Darkness could have been a better adaptation, but it's better than the vast majority of attempts at adapting Lovecraft.
>Sorry, I meant anyone with money
Good luck then, because you're not going to get a good adaptation of Lovecraft that isn't independently made.
>Quatermass and the Pit
Hella based, forgot about this one. The other two movies are also great.
Kevin Barnes
I have never actually read or watched Lovecraft, if I have a fetish for eldritch beings and monsters, will it scare me or arouse me?
Camden Watson
>will it scare me or arouse me?
Neither.
>I have a fetish for eldritch beings and monsters
Do yourself a favor and stick to tentacle porn.
Julian James
It’s good for existential dread

For over a decade I've had a couple ideas of horror / dark romance comics with Lovecraftian overtones set in and around Boston. One of them was somewhat inspired by and ex who wrote a short story that had Steven King / Lovecraft overtones.
I also had an idea that a bunch of anime nerds from an anonymous image forum take on a cult-like church full of Hollywood celebrities. Part of the church's theology is an ancient alien fear god. Meanwhile the "hacktivists" inadvertently involve a green chaos god in their protests.
No one will ever believe me, but I actually thought of this back in 2006, before Chanology. I also was maybe the first user to post themselves in a "Yea Forums man" mask back when the V movie came out.
I also had a couple ideas for spinoffs, one about a high school in Lovecraft's MA (kinda based on mine).
Plus another about those anonymous protesters going against the US government who start backing an Alex Jones type online journalist from back when I started watching him in 2009. Since then Alex Jones got mainstream coverage and became a weirdly big presence in American politics.
I can't help but feel that in exploring my own Lovecraftian story ideas, I ended up with a Cassandra complex. I ended up looking at the world and had visions of things to come.

I really need to check out more Marvel horror and Journey Into Mystery. I got some old trades of the more Ditko and Silver Age stuff. I should check out more 70s stuff.

this was fucking terrible
Nathaniel Cook
I think Lovecraft films work best when they're not trying to be Lovecraftian but are just body horror films based on Lovecraft stories
Ian Jenkins
They really like Lovecraft, in their own way.
Gabriel Bell

Super low-budget adaptation of The Shadow over Innsmouth.

Huh.
Blake Hughes
What a shit take.

Henry James
Dagon is the best of them all and it's made for cable TV. Possibly one of the best films of all time. Enjoy
Ayden Williams
>The Last Wave
Weir is based. Interestingly that film suggests precursors to the Aborigines which would be controversial today
Connor Hernandez
No. Stop lying.
Cameron Hughes
This is true when you think about it, the perspective and all ambigiousness.
Luis Williams
Picnic at Hanging Rock is good too but the second half kinda sucks
Cooper Jenkins
this movie sucked dick and had nothing to do with cthulu or lovecraft other than ~15 seconds of a cgi monster's torso at the end. there were zero (0) instances of madness, paranoia, or otherworldly/unexplainable events. a basic bitch oldschool hollywood monster movie like deep rising through and through.
John Wright
You sound like every hollywood producer and you're wrong for it
Nathan Smith
They didn't even decide it was going to be Cthulhu until post-production. They filmed the entire movie with that thing called "the behemoth" or smth and settled on a version of Cthulhu after everything else was done
Logan Richardson
I actually wrote 2-3 movie scripts with Lovecraft influence, but producers dont want that shit for some reason, i feel that Lovecraft is just poisoned name or whatever even as influence.
