"Well, there ''are'' tentacles in it, at least!"

Lovecraft didn't invent the tentacle-monster (H.G. Wells featured them in ''War of the Worlds'' in 1897, and the idea probably wasn't new even then), but has somehow become synonymous with them in the popular imagination. Any list of "Lovecraftian" films, allowed enough reader suggestions, will quickly pick up a few suggestions whose sole qualification for the list is that there are tentacles. There may not be much else going on in these films that can be considered "[[Lovecraftian]]", but at least there are tentacles, and one or two of Lovecraft's more famous creations did, at least, have tentacles.

For fans of tentacle-monsters, the films in this category at least contain some tentacles; a few may even have other elements they share in common with Lovecraft's more subtle ideas, and perhaps one or two are faithful adaptations of Lovecraft's stories.
