Lovecraftian horror
Which is the best Lovecraftian film you've seen?
|
The Wicker Man. The original of course. Also, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, The Blob and Monolith Monsters.
|
OMCDave......

The Blob is one of the most Lovecraftian of all monsters. It's amorphous, apparently unstoppable and hails from parts unknown. The combination of Lovecraft with hot rodding teens is a real must see.

Ever seen Dagon?
It's more like The Shadow Over Innsmouth (Reminds me of the time I had to cut a fish's head off with a knife but couldn't cut through the bone so I had to use a pair of scissors to finish the job). The head falls on the floor and my mother ran out of the room when the fish's brain spilt out. BTW I actually found a dead rat in one of my shoes once. Anyway, thanks for the responce (Where you from anyway/) |

I kinda like the 70's version of DUNWICH HORROR (though its cheesey and strays far from the story). The Resurrected and the Haunted Palace are both really good.. |
I've heard of the CoC film but it isn't in HMV AND I wasn't bullshitting about cutting the fish's head off and the rat in the shoe either. Apart from Lovecraftian horror I like a bit of demon possesion/visceral horror myself. Cheers for the feedback. BTW have you ever [layed NECRONOMICON DAWN OF MADNESS (Playstation)/Sherlock Holmes: The Awakening(PC)/CoC-Dark Corners OF THE EARTH (BASED ON THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH)PC/XBOX? But if you want REAL horror, I strongly reccomend books like:-
A HISTORY OF TORTURE RACK, ROPE AND RED HOT PINCERS THE BOOK OF EXECUTION PRISONERS OF THE JAPANESE SURVIVING THE SWORD SCOURGE OF THE SS KNIGHTS OF THE BUSHIDO As for books about video nasties (Childs Play 3 had nothing to do with the murder of James Bulger and it's been proven) I STRONGLY RECOMMEND:- Seduction Of The Gullible See No Evil Good luck in the search for the above if you're interested. |
I really liked Dagon. Just saw it for the first time last week, and I was pleasantly surprised given the amount of crappy Lovecraft movies out there.
Also I want this http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/st...roduct&2=32834 and http://www.zazzle.ca/visit_beautiful...69487877246265 will probably be purchased for my bf because it's Lovecraft but also retro. There are a few Miskatonic Uni. shirts too but I can't find girls versions that aren't white and I don't like white tshirts. also also http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._2123201_n.jpg |

My first and my only choice here is Dr.Herbert West in The Re-Animator and The Bride of the Re-Animator.:cool:

God, I hate hate hate Lovecraftian films for the most part. The man was a great author but the movie variations suck (for lack of a better word).
But I am looking forward to the new Mountains of Madness movie. |

It was removed from Guillermo del Toro IMDB pages a long while back.. |
Hopefully it doesn't get trapped in development hell.
Hmm. There's a lovecraft joke in there somewhere... |
