Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

1125 readers

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Great list. Some additional good titles are:

The Call of Cthulhu (2005) - Independent silent film adaptation produced by Sean Branney and Andrew Leman and distributed by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society

The Whisperer in Darkness (2011) - From the same producer with the look of a 1930s-era film

CTHULHU (2007) - Not really an adaptation, but more like an original view of the thematic elements of the Cthulhu Mythos.

The Shunned House (2003) - A low budget movie produced by Ivan Zuccon

Documentary - Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown (2020) | Guillermo Del Toro - old post with links
