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. 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, and Kevin A.
Ross’ “HPL on Film” in issue 11 of The Unspeakable Oath.
