Lovecraft’s works have been adapted numerous times for motion pictures and television—and adapted badly. The pages below contain links to entries for these films in the Internet Movie Database. In addition, the IMDB has an H.P. Lovecraft filmography page that lists Lovecraftian films and another that allows you to see the TV schedule for H.P. Lovecraft films. For more complete information on Lovecraft films, see Andrew Migliore and John Strysik’s The Lurker in the Lobby: The Guide to Lovecraftian Cinema, Craig Mullins’s Unfilmable.com, Corey Whitworth’s Cinemagoria: H.P. Lovecraft in the visual and aural medium, and Kevin A. Ross’ “HPL on Film” in issue 11 of The Unspeakable Oath.
