John Carpenter's "The Thing" is one of my favorites, but "Mouth of Madness" has Sam Neil and Charlton Heston! Definitely going to watch this movie later. Mad Hamish posted:Lovecraft is cool and good. Shame about his lovely racist opinions but eh, it was the 1920s. This is also a good list of stories to read. I have the Hardbound "Necronomicon" that has a ton of his works. I like the story "Dagon" as well, it's short and precise. The "Cthulhu and Friends" podcast where they play Call of Cthulhu RPG has some episodes where they do readings of his works and the Dagon one was pretty good.

Oh ok, interesting:quote:The film is the second installment in what Carpenter calls his "Apocalypse Trilogy", which began with The Thing (1982) and concludes with In the Mouth of Madness (1995). I never heard of that before.

If you love those 80's gore-fest type movies, "The Reanimator" was an entertaining 'zombie' thriller, and "From Beyond" was full of crazy poo poo. Definitely good drinking movies at this point.

Those two are great. Absolutely watch from beyond, I think it's a bit less well known then the reanimator films. It's quite hosed up. I watched it as a kid and freaked out every time I got a headache for years. Is The Banshee Chapter worth a watch? Based on Lovecraft's story as well.

Hopefully we all go insane, in true Lovecraftian fashion. edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5I3Lt8PwyQ This trailer looks great, in a terrible way. Didn't mean to hijack the thread for John Carpenter. Anyone play the board game Mansion of Madness? Man I love that game, especially when nobody wins!

GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:Hahaha are there any good films based on Lovecraft's writing? That silent black-and-white "Call of Cthulhu" movie that was made a decade or so back was pretty cool IMO. They tried their best to make it look like it was made in about 1928 (and if it had been it'd probably be regarded as a classic and mentioned alongside King Kong).

I like Lovecraft type stuff. Mostly got interested because of how highly regarded the tabletop RPG most people won't play because it's not Dungeons and Dragons. (So I ended up doing sneaky poo poo like putting Innsmouth into Dragonlance and one of the Blood Brothers scenarios into World of Darkness. The latter is more grindhouse horror than everyone's favorite dead racist author though.) http://wargamedork.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-cthulhu-stuff-or-lovecraftiana.html I have some stuff. A bit more now because that's a five year old post but yeah. Some decent stuff there. Cthulhu Gloom is a great version of a good little card game. For Lovecraft inspired music Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is legit. "Going Down to Dunwich" is pretty rocking. GWAR has a song about Yig if you want more metal in your dorky music choices though. I mostly feel sorry for ol Howie. Died in agony and poverty because he was a weirdo, only for his stuff to get popular decades later and be influential as gently caress. (Dracula is still my favorite horror novel though. Also by a weirdo with hang ups. It's like to write interesting horror you gotta be tweaked in the head I guess?) I do agree Lumley is kinda poo poo. His Necroscope universe is basically 6th Sense meets James Bond and Urotsudoji. Yeah. I do not recommend them. This thread does remind me I still need 7th ed Call of Cthulhu rulebooks and Elder Godlike Achtung Cthulhu book. (Grimdark Ww2 superheroes v the Mythos? I already have the Dust book for WW2 mechs in that heat. They are just expensive books even for hobby gaming and it's not like I couldn't bullshit something on my own.)

im permabanned poster niggerman58. i first started reading poe when i was about 12. by 14 i got damnably obsessed with the concept of “supernatural horror” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got shockingly eldritch and i would repeat things like “congo tom-toms” and “i love gibbering inside fetid nightmares” in my head for hours, and i would get hideously paranoid, start seeing rats in the corners of my arras etc, basically i think i went mad then. im now on morphine. i always wondered what the kind of “supernatural horror” style of american literature was all about; i think it’s the y'ha-nthlein genes leaking in to the human, what von Junzt considered to be the cause of amphibious metamorphosis. i would advise all people who “get” supernatural horror to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to becoming a fishman. transient surcease.

It's the best Lovecraft inspired table top game that I have played. The first edition was really fun, but was a pain to set up and took a long time to play. It also wasn't that well balanced, but I still had a lot of fun with it. The second edition was a big improvement and solved all the issues I had with the original. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooperative games with a lovecraftian setting.
