gauntman:
I'm a big fan or Lovecraftian style genre movies and have quite a movie collection.

Thought I'd list a few related movie titles for those who like these types of flicks.  I've only includded movies and shorts I have on DVD.


Beyond Reanimator
Call of Cthulhu (Silent, very good adaptation)
The Curse (Will Wheaton) adaptation of Color Out of Space
Dagon
The Dark (neat movie with hottie and Sean Beal)
Darkness (very cool movie highly recommended)
Die Monster Die (Borus Karloff, for Die hard fans only)
Dunwich Horror (neat adaptation with Hippies, for true fans)
From Beyond (great B-movie classic)
Halfway House (softcore, sex murder and Cthulhu)
Hellboy (weird ww2)
Hemoglobin (Rutger Hauher, and inbred cannibal monsters)
In the Mouth of Madness (I love Sam Neill & Charton Heston too
Phantoms (horror destroys town with Peter Otool, Ben Afflick)
Night Gallery Season 2:
(Cool Air, Pickman's Model, & Professor Peabody's Last Lecture)
Necronomicon (2 out of 3 decent short flicks isn't bad)
Dreams of the Witch House (decent short Master of Horror)
Reanimator (Jeffery Combs great)
The Ressurrected (Chris Sarandon, one of the best Lovecraft flicks)
She Creature (period film mermaid movie with a cthulhu genre feel)
The Thing (Carpenters classic)
They (Horrors in the dark)
X the Unknown (black and white horror from deep within the earth)
Rawhead Rex (added for it's theme and feel only, ancient evil released)


This is the extent of my present collection...
I am presently in negotiations for 2 more rare Lovecraft movies.  
Dark Intruder
and The Shuttered Room

Are there others out there worth viewing/finding I'm leaving out....???

twrchtrwyth:
I'm sure I saw a film, possibly made for TV, based on Stephen Kings's Crouch End. It was a short story from the New Tales Of The Cthulhu Mythos collection.

Auton:
Think the story was one of the Nightmares & Dreamscapes series, called Crouch End funnily enough

Uncle Mike:
There is a great resource book out there called: Lurker In The Lobby. A Guide To The Cinema Of H.P.Lovecraft. Inside you will find a crazy ammount of movies/t.v/shorts and other weirdness relating to (...in some way...) Lovecraft and the original source material.

You got most of the good ones...Dunwich Horror and Re-Animator being among the best. (IMHO) How is The Curse? I've never seen it and can't quite make myself buy it...Wil Weaton and all that...

Here are some more...in no order:

The Haunted Palace, Marebito, Uzumaki, Cast A Deadly Spell (pure crap), Castle Freak, The Darkness Beyond...and one of my all time greatest movies ever Quatermass And The Pit.

Actually all of the Quatermass stuff is pretty good...Fungus from space, creepy bug-people...

Greenline:
What about Lair of the White Worm
