H.P. Lovecraft: 10 Movies Obviously Inspired by His Works (But Aren't Adaptations)

"Early 20th-century horror author H.P. Lovecraft remains an influential figure in the trajectory of the genre, both in print and on the screen. The brand of horror developed in the works of this Rhode Island native delves deep into the cosmic unknown, exploring creatures like his infamous Cthulhu, worlds, and alternate realities that exist below the normal currents of life. While Lovecraft's racism and xenophobia have been rightfully criticized in recent decades, fans of the genre agree his style and approach to igniting terror remain unparalleled. Many filmmakers have adapted Lovecraft's works into feature films, while others use his themes as frameworks for original cinematic ventures."
