I'd have to say The Thing On The Doorstep. A relatively rare one to be endorsing as a favourite, I know, but I just love Edward Derby and the whole concept behind the story. What an idea, gleaning immortality through your children, literally!
Cold Air comes as a close second, as I absoultely love the cold, being an abnormally hot person most of the time. However, since it doesn't have any of the typical Lovecraft 'terrible ancient magicks', opting instead for superscience lightly sprinkled with magical innuendo, it falls to second place. |

You know, I recently was rummaging through my local Rogers Video's DVD bargin bin, and found something called 'Beyond Re-Animator', which appears to be a sequel to 'Re-Animator'! I wasn't even aware there were any Lovecraft movies other than 'Call of Cthulhu'... *checks IMDB* ...which I MAY have IMAGINED due to its apparent non-existence! Yaargh. Can anyone help me out here? |

Sponsor | | Daoloth | Aug 12, 2004 3:57pm | | Ahhhh, good. Do you perhaps know about any 'Call of Cthulhu' movie? Only I'd hate to think I was going nuts... |

Dream-Quest manages to be simultaneously incredibly dark and intensely uplifting. Gaiman's Sandman tales occasionally approach that, but no one did it like Ol' Grandpa!
I love The Shadow because it's such a creepy, brilliant mind-f**k.
Oddly, my favo(u)rite short story is The Lamp of Alhazred despite its being one of Derleth's "collaborations." Dark and uplifting once again. Musta had more Grandpa then Derleth in it.
Proof that Daoloth isn't going nuts [*this* time anyway ;) ]: cthulhulives.org/CoC/movieinfo.html [cthulhulives.org/CoC/movieinfo.html] |
