The Thing was directly influence by "At the Mountains of Madness." Particularly, the Shoggoths; the creation of the supernaturally tough Elder Things. Shoggoths were able to reshape their tissues, organs, and even emotions to suit the needs of their environment. Plasmoid, amorphous abominations of genetic engineering, re-imagined as a malevolent entity from cosmic gulfs unfathomable. I still think the Thing if one of the greatest science fiction/horror films of all time.

With the notable exceptions being Call of Cthulhu and Re-Animator, movies "inspired by" his works that have nothing to do with his actual stories are 10/10 always better than adaptations. I don't understand how it can be nearly 2022 and still no one has made a truly great adaptation of his work.
@tyrongkojy
@tyrongkojy 2 года назад
Sadly, his writings were very much products of their times (and I'm not talking about the racism). Truth is, his monster descriptions have been called lazy by many, since it almost always amounts to "I cannot begin to describe the horror that I witnessed!" I mean... could you TRY? Many of the monsters just aren't "instant insanity inducing" anymore. Even the whole idea that we don't matter on the cosmic scale is old hat to most by now. So direct adaptations of his works have some issues. And is it just me or did Lovecraft have an actual issue with the octopus? Like, I think the guy found the things actually frightening.

The Lighthouse was probably the most disturbing movie i've ever watched. Pattinson and Defoe gave the performances of their lives imo and deserve all the awards. Gave me a lingering sense of dread for weeks. Everything about it is a work of art. Highly recommend if you're into not understanding what you're watching, mental torture and uncomfortable themes. If you're squeamish or faint of heart I would say avoid at all costs.
@josephdarkhelmet9494

The Lighthouse- Saw it twice. Instant classic. There are several films listed I haven't seen that look really good. Now- I need to dig them up.... btw- I agree 100%, if not both men, Dafoe certainly got robbed. He should have at least been nominated. He was perfection, right down to his facial expressions & accent. This felt like a film from the 30s. Patterson was quite amazing too. He's terrible in those garbage Twilight movies. But then again, they were fluff. Thank God directors didn't typecast him. Lost city of Z, Good time, the Batman, great films showing his great talent. He's definitely under appreciated. Hopefully, the Batman changed all that. Peace.

In Italy we call "City of the living dead" "Paura nella città dei morti viventi" (Fear in the city of the living dead). I think it is known in the U.S. also as "Gates of hell". It is based on cosmic horror, but treated in a very personal way; there only vague references to Lovecraft (only the names of places, to me). It is the first part of Fulci's "Trilogy of death" together with "The Beyond" (the best of the three movies, to me) and "Quella villa accanto al cimitero" (I don't remember how it is called in the U.S.)

One film I would have added to the list was The Haunted Palace (1963), based on Lovecraft's short novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. It was given the title of an Edgar Allen Poe poem, since in 1963 Poe was much more well-known than Lovecraft, and the studio had already done some successful Poe adaptations. It's a fairly faithful adaptation and sure scared me when I saw it at the theater way back then.

There are two films I would add to the list: John Carpenter's "The Fog" (1980): This film holds to Lovecraft's visions on a number of ways. It is almost timeless, in it's location, settings, and surroundings; it could be seen fifty years ago, or fifty years from now, more or less to each, and the setting could still be "now". It utilizes Lovecraft's vision of the sea as something mysterious, that could hold hidden mysteries, and horrors, within it's depths, unseen or known to the imaginations of the humans above. A desire for revenge that extends beyond the grave, and the means to exact it. And, above all, the horrors are hidden in the shadows of the fog, and no one knows if they might someday return. Dean Koontz's "Phantoms", directed by Joe Chappelle (1998): This film is an obvious homage to the Lovecraftian monster known as a shoggoth; an ancient shapeshifting, amorphous monster of gigantic size that was created to imitate any form.

The Mist is my favorite Stephen King short stories. I finished the story on a day that was so foggy you couldn't see your hand if you held it out stretched. There I was a young teenage male who was almost using Depends every time a shadow zipped by. Lol. I got over it but I do admit it was funny as hell. Great short story

The Curse (1987, David Keith) is still probably the best version of HPL’s The Colour Out of Space. The Richard Stanley version from a few years ago is good, but it would have been a hell of a lot better if somebody other than Nicolas Cage played that part. There’s a relatively obscure Mexican movie called The Untamed (2016, Amat Escalante) which is a loose remake of Possession, which has some really f’d up sexual stuff in it, plus a big ol’ tentacled pleasure/pain monster in it. Definitely for fans of HPL. Otherwise, a pretty good list. I’d give honorable mentions to The House with Laughing Windows (1976, Pupi Avati) and Lurking Fear (1994, C. Courtney Joyner).

To me the weirdest thing as a Lovecraft fan, having read just about all his available works, Hollywood tries to make the wrong stories into movies. I'm speaking on adaptations of his stories alone. The magic in Lovecraft is the readers imagination. Creatures with such vague description and locations so otherworldly tend not to translate well when Hollywood gets its hands on them, but he has stories that are just begging to be made into a movie. Take The Thing On the Doorstep or Imprisoned With the Pharaohs (Written with the help of Harry Houdini) would make great films and would not have to use so much CGI which just kills the suspension of disbelief. The Thing is awesome but i wouldn't call it a film adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness. The late 60s early 70 Dunwich Horror is just awful. Even the Nick Cage movie refenced here Color out of Space is more of a prequel to the story and takes liberties i'm pretty confident Lovecraft would scoff at. I do like the way it handled the look of the movie. So come on Hollywood and give me Asenath Waite in a movie please. Kamog Kamog. Ya Shub-Niggurath.

Cold Skin (2017) - A young man arrives at a remote island to take a post of weather observer only to find himself defending the watchtower from deadly humanoid creatures which come on land from the sea every night. Sweetheart (2019)- A castaway who must survive on the island she washed up on as she gets stalked by a humanoid sea monster. The Deep House (2021) - While diving in a remote French lake, a couple of RU-vidrs who specialize in underwater exploration videos discover a house submerged at he bottom of a lake and find something horrible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hgqjv1endGY.html Evolution (2015, France) - The only residents sea-side town are women and boys. When a boy sees a corpse in the ocean one day, he begins to question his existence, and discovers the mothers are part of a cult. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vgj8Y0OalEo.html The Deep Ones (2021) - terrible acting and sub par sfx but still a Lovecraft story

Sweetheart was a pleasant surprise. Let me add a couple more. Resolution [2012] - A man imprisons his estranged junkie friend in an isolated cabin in the boonies of San Diego to force him through a week of sobriety, but the events of that week are being mysteriously manipulated. Triangle [2009] - Five friends set sail and their yacht is overturned by a strange and sudden storm. A mysterious ship arrives to rescue them, and what happens next cannot be explained.

My favorite cosmic horror films: - the original Alien - the thing - the endless - event horizon - annihilation - in the mouth of madness - the void - the mist - evil dead (remake) - the lighthouse - hereditary - hellboy - in the tall grass - hellraiser - from beyond Also worth mentioning: Lovecraft was not the (Sole) inventor of cosmic horror and cosmic horror / lovecraftian are no interchangeable terms. Lovecraftian just means something is within the broader sub genre of cosmic horror and creates a Mythos around it (like Tolkien created a Mythos around middle earth). Considering this not every film from this video or my list is necessarily lovecraftian but all are cosmic horror. If some people like to read I want to recommend a modern brilliant take on Lovecraftian stories: the author Laird Barron and his Mythos of the old Leeche. He makes the horror of chuthulu and his fellow entities look like a Saturday morning cartoon. ;)

Lovecraft was on the spectrum, ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and Cassandra Syndrome. He was able to have extreamly vibid dreams and was able to see 3D imiges from his head projected in real life and conteolled by his mind. Thus making stories about where he physically was or piecing together bigger pictures no one could see or understand. Making him feel unknown and confused by soeciety. So he wrote stories about his worlds and his 'larger picture' he can see that no one else could. Explains a ton about his amazing stories. So damn cool, i love Lovecraft stuff and he was an amazing being. Much love and RIP Lovecraft, we miss the stories you could not share but love what ones you could 💚

I remember the Lovecraftian creatures of "The Mist" As a Stephen King fan, that impressed me the most and I was also mesmerized by the creatures of "The Thing" . Both excellent films but one of the most interesting adaptations of Lovecraftian monsters for me was not necessarily in a movie but rather in the television series, "Lovecraft Country" which I enjoyed due to the blend of African American history and monsters inspired by Lovecraft who was not only a gifted writer but also openly racist. An ironic blend in my eyes. I really appreciated the work and talents that went in the making of that series. Jordan Peele did an excellent job with the blending of historical events in African American history and stunningly creepy horror of Lovecraftian creatures. This video was a very good compilation of the movies that took inspiration from Lovecraft's writings but I did have to share how impress I was (still am) with Lovecraft country. PS: It didn't hurt with the fact that the protagonist like myself grew up on the Southside of Chicago and had the same last name: Freeman (smile)
