A while ago I bought the movie "Dagon" (cheap on VHS) which is based on a couple of H.P. Lovecraft stories. I didn't really expect to much, but boy I was pleasantly surprised! I watched the movie a couple of times through, and that inspired me to pick up my Lovecraft anthology that I've had for 20-odd years. I'd just never gotten into his stuff, but I read the source story contained therein, and again, wow! He really was a t-riffic writer, and just spooky as all get out.
Just thought I'd share.

Sat, November 6, 2004 - 2:45 PMI've not seen the movie but is it based on the 2 Lovecraft stories, "The Shadow over Innsmouth" and "Dagon"?
Glad to hear it's got you reading Lovecraft :)

Sat, December 4, 2004 - 11:49 AMThere's a movie called simply "Necronomicon" that does a pretty good job of paying homage to Lovecraft. They even have him as a character in the wrap-around story.
There's a group called the HPLHS, the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, that's doing a silent-film version of The Call of Cthulhu. I watched a trailer of it, and it does look pretty interesting.

Sat, December 4, 2004 - 11:56 AMThis past Halloween, I saw Cthulhu walking around at the street fair in San Fran. The costume looked like it was a giant green velour plush toy! I called out to him and clapped, and he raised his hands above his head in a return salute. I don't think a lot of people got who he was. I should have gotten a picture of him to put on my Halloween gallery on my website.
He didn't look scary or menacing, just huggable. Oh, that Cthulhu.... ha ha ha -
