haven't seen much of films based on Lovecraft stories. Only Re-Animator, In the mouth of madness, Dagon, the recent gay-Cthulhu and that MOH episode.
Here's a youtube channel of some Lovecraft films but I don't get the idea why it added John Carpenter's The Thing & The Fog??!!?!

The Fog is only mentioned because of some Lovcraft name dropping like Arkham Reef etc...There loads of films that do this that I wouldn't consider Lovecraft inspired like the Evil Dead with the Necronomican and The Beyond with the Book of Ebon (though the atmosphere is a little Lovecraftian) - also isn't City of the Living Dead Set in Arkham?

 Interesting dreamlike, hallucination filled version of the HP Love Craft story "The Colour Out of Space" ... Set during wartime Italy, Lucia and her Husband (along with her sister, Alice) live a rural farm. Their well water gets infected by the 'Colour' (an alien and/or spiritual force) - the apparrent good effects on the farm are soon replaced by madness and demonic possession...Unlike the original story the force here has some Satanic/Evil agenda rather than just a presence from the cosmos.. Lovecraft stories by their very nature are hard to adapt to film because as soon as that unspeakable indescribable monster is show in all its glory it loses alot of its impact..So compared to most this is a decent adaption and overall an atmospheric and enjoyable film...Acting from the 3 main characters isn't bad but fair city drop out Gerry Shanahan is just dire as the irish accented Italian Neighbour.....

Is there any decent audio books of Lovecraft stuff? Been enjoying listening to books/poetry on my mp3 player before I go to sleep. Will have to hunt some out.

 Heres The Shadow Over Innsmouth (by Atlanta Radio Theater Company) - its a great Dramatization of one of my fave stories... The Shadow Out Of Time (again a Dramatization of Lovecrafts probably most accomplished story/nova) The Colour Out of Space - not heard this one...
