A FEAST OF FRIGHTFUL FLICKS WAITING TO BE REDISCOVERED
As the leading name in the world of horror, Fangoria magazine has been the source of information for fans of fright flicks for more than twenty years—covering feature films, video games, comic books, collectibles, and all aspects of horror entertainment. Working closely with Fangoria’s experts, including Editor in Chief Anthony Timpone, Adam Lukeman has compiled a must-have guide for casual horror fans and hardcore horror junkies with Fangoria’s 101 Best Horror Films You’ve Never Seen.
Movies and shorts based on the works of HP Lovecraft (some only loosely), have Lovecraftian themes or strong references to Lovecraft or are clearly Lovecraft inspired.
Some might be fringe cases and not considered Lovecraftian by purists but are included because the atmosphere is suggestive of Lovecraft's work, there are clear nods to Lovecraft and in some case it is just because of name dropping or big tentacle monsters.
Missing on Trakt:
- Corpse-O-Rama (2001)
- The Whisperer in Darkness (2007)
- Lovecraft Chronicles (2009 Series)
Without a doubt, the #1 curated list of all H.P. Lovecraftian cinema! It's organized from hits to lesser hits to "your desperate for another film from this genre and will take anything". ;) I've left off any piece that is deemed too low budget, lacks other-wordly beings, or is just plain boring.
Message me if you can think of a movie that is not on the list that you think should be. :)
A subgenre of horror films that are based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, a writer of horror and science fiction. Lovecraftian horror is characterized by themes of cosmic horror, dread, and the fear of the unknown, as well as the idea that humanity is insignificant in the face of vast, ancient, and otherworldly powers.
Lovecraftian Cinema typically features themes and elements from Lovecraft's stories, such as ancient and malevolent gods, monsters, and cults that worship them, forbidden knowledge, and insanity-inducing horrors beyond human comprehension. The visual style often includes grotesque and unsettling imagery, as well as a sense of foreboding and existential dread.
