In Progress/Upcoming

"Lovecraftian" Filmography

I'm creating pages for "Lovecraftian" films and television series - the following red YSDC wiki links point to pages that do not yet exist; someone else can feel free to do any of the following - just let me know so I don't start working on them at the same time:

  • Trench 11 (2017 film)
  • Yeti Films (genre)
  • The Projected Man (1966 film) A scientist experimenting with matter transmission from place to place by means of a laser beam suddenly decides to use himself as a test specimen. But the process goes awry... IMDb: (link), Wikipedia: (link), Trailer: (link), Mark Cole at Rivets on the Poster (Includes a link to a deliberately degraded rip of the full film on Youtube) (link), Mitch Lovell at The Video Vacuum (2 Stars)(link), Brian Schuck at Films From Beyond The Time Barrier (link), Dave Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings (link)
  • Cellar Dweller (1988 film) (IMDb) Review by Keith Bailey at The Unknown Movies (link) Review by Burl Cummings at Ha Ha It's Burl! (link) Review by Andrew Pragsam at The Spinning Image (4/10 Stars) (link) Review by J. P. Roscoe at Basement Rejects (3/10) (link)
  • Dream Demon (1988 film) (Trailer) (IMDb) Video Review by TMG Review - "The problem is with this film is that it's trying too hard to be scary, but it just becomes tired, trite and confusing." (Link) Review at British Horror Films (Link) Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Film Review (2/5 Stars) (Link) Review by Charles Tatum at Charles Tatum's Review Archive (4/5 Stars) (Link) Review (Contains Spoilers) by Cody Yoder at It All Happens in the Dark (C) (Link) - "Dream Demon has some very strong visuals – the first few dreams are considerably well done – and the performances are all believable, but the story is too threadbare. ... The pay off isn’t substantial enough – emotionally or story wise and things are wrapped up far too easily and neatly. And a lot is never explained..."
  • Images (1972 film) (Trailer) (Wikipedia) (IMDb) Review at The Terror Trap (2.5 Stars) (link) Review by Graeme Clark at The Spinning Image (6/10 Stars) (link) Review by Roger Ebert at Rogerebertdotcom (3 Stars) (link) Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (3.5/5 Stars) (link) Review by Richard Winters at Scopophilia: Movies of the 60's,70's,80's (8/10) (link)

  • The Interior (2015 film) (trailer) (IMDb) Review by Jay Clarke at The Horror Section (link), Review by Kurt Halfyard at Screen Anarchy (link), Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (2/5 Stars) (link), Review by Amanda Waltz at The Film Stage (B-) (link), Review by Jason Widdington at Quiet Earth (link) - "Comparisons to The Blair Witch Project are inevitable with a horror film set in the forest, and normally that would be a fair comparison. Make no mistake, though: The Interior is a unique psychological horror film that seemingly leaves a lot of things open to interpretation. The initial reaction as the film ends might be I don't get it..."
  • Lake Eerie (2016 film) IMDb (link), Wikipedia (link), Review by Sean Evans at Back to the Movies (link), Review by Ken Kastenhuber at McBastards Mausoleum (2/5) (link), Review by Douglas Kent at The Whining Kent Pigs (link), Review by Amber Neko at Nerd Squadron (6.5/10) (link), Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (2/5 Stars) (link)

  • Blood Tide (1982 film) (Full Movie) (IMDb) Video Review by Killerrodan (Link) Video Review by Junkyard Breadfruit (Link) Review at A Side Order of Ninja's (link) Review at 80's Horror Central (0/5) (link) Review by Chris Beaumont at Critical Outcast (1/5) (Link) Review by Nate Decker at Million Monkey Reviews (Link) Review by Josh Morgan at Quick Horror Movie Review (4/10) (Link) Review by Paghat the Ratgirl at Wild Realm Reviews (Link) Review by Dave Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings (Link) Jack Somersby at EFilmCritic (2 Stars) (Link) Review by Charles Tatum at Charles Tatum's Review Archive (3/5) (Link) - "All in all, I liked "Bloodtide." Where else will you hear the beautiful Deborah Shelton warble the end credits song ..., or see James Earl Jones in a scuba wet suit...then again, THAT is scary."
  • Avalon: Beyond the Abyss (1999 film) (Full movie (IMDb), IMDb User Reviews (Link), Review by Andy Webb at The Movie Scene (1/5 Stars) (Link),
  • The Devil Commands (1941 film) (Trailer) (Wikipedia), (IMDB) Video Review by G.L.

  • Endangered Species (1982 series) (IMDB) Review by Vincent Canby at (The New York Times) - "...a topical suspense melodrama that sounds as if it had been fearlessly torn from the headlines of your favorite supermarket tabloid. ... Endangered Species, though dumb, is pretty and very fancily edited. The writer-director sets up the mystery effectively ... All of the members of the cast act with the kind of intensity that calls attention to the awful truth that they have no material to act. The characters haven't been written - they've been ordered from L.L. Bean." Review by Graeme Clarke at (The Spinning Image) (6/10 Stars) - "Endangered Species fell between two stools of thriller and quasi-science fiction, but it was different enough to be worth the while of those interested in the less conventional." Review by Burl Cummings at (Ha ha, it's Burl!) (2.5) - "...it’s an interesting one because, despite the picture being a product of the Reagan era, it has a defiantly 70s sensibility: anti-authoritarianism (despite its cop heroes), paranoia, unconventional storytelling methods, a refusal to engage with thriller material in the expected fashion! All of this seems to me admirable, but nevertheless, ha ha, the movie doesn’t quite pull it off!" Review by Richard Scheib at (The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review) (3/5 Stars) -- "Alan Rudolph mounts the machinery of the paranoia conspiracy thriller well. ... In all, this is a neat little film that was well before its time. Alas, it was not a big success." Review by Cody Yoder at (It All Happens in the Dark)
  • The Man Who Changed His Mind (1936 film) (Full movie) (Wikipedia) (IMDb) Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (3/5 Stars) (link) Review by Alfred Eaker at 366 Weird Movies (link) Review by Mitch Lovell at The Video Vacuum (3 Stars) (link) Review by Richard Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings (link) Review by Janne Wass at Scifist (7/10) (link)
  • Spectre (1977 film) (Full Movie) (IMDb) Review by Dave Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings (Link) Review by Richard Schieb at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (3/5 Stars) (Link) - "With Spectre ... one thinks that Gene Roddenberry had the makings of a potentially worthwhile tv series had the pilot ever been picked up."
  • She Waits (1972 film) (Full Movie) (IMDb) Review by Dave Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings (Link) - "The acting is adequate but far from inspired, and the direction isn't particularly strong." (Sort of a serial-numbers-filed-off "Case of Charles Dexter Ward".)
  • Destination Inner Space (1966 film) (full movie) (IMDb) Review by Dave Sindelar at Fantastic Movie Reviews and Ramblings (link) Review by Andrew Smith at Popcorn Pictures (link) Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (2/5 Stars) (link) - "Destination Inner Space is thoroughly routine. Dramatically, the film is dreary and dull – the scenes of the alien stalking people are mounted for almost nothing in the way of tension. The venture into the alien ship builds interestingly in a prosaic way. However, this is only there to produce the monster, whereupon the UFO is entirely forgotten about."
  • 3 Women (1977 film) Tom Blunt at Signature, (link) (Wikipedia) (IMDb) Review by Graeme Clark at The Spinning Image (7/10 Stars) (link) Review by Roger Ebert at Rogerebertdotcom (4 Stars) (link) Review by Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (2.5/5 Stars) (link) Review by Richard Winters at Scopophilia: Movies of the 60's,70's,80's (6/10) (link)

Reis at DVD Drive-In (link), Review by Mitch Lovell at The Video Vacuum (2 Stars) (link),
  • Fatal Sky (1990 film) (AKA Project: Alien) In Norway a military plane crashes under mysterious circumstances: in his last message the pilot reported many lights falling from the sky. The NATO wants to play down the incident, but the famous TV moderator George Abbot and the no less persistent journalist Milker sense a sensational story about UFOs and start snooping around in the area with help of pilot "Bird" McNamara. Inspired by the suspiciously rigorous isolation of the whole area around the crash point and cases of an unknown desease they have a closer look at the military's activities...

One egg hatches and becomes an unstoppable creature.
  • Voodoo Films (there were a number of such films in the 1930s-50s, I should include at least the better ones):

  • Satanic Cult Movies; some of these might cross over into Folk Horror, others with Voodoo movies:

Monsters and Great Old Ones

I'll be working on filling out the occasional monster and GOO pages getting collected here: (Category:Wiki_Cleanup)

Before doing so, I'll go through the list of GOOs and mark the skimpy pages for Cleanup/Expansion.

I still need to do something with the most recent "Monster Makeover" results (Tree Men of M'bwa and Old Solar System Mercury) and post the next Makeover.

Wiki Cleanup

Finish these some day:

  • In the future, I may create pages for individual Lovecraft stories.
  • setting: Weird West
  • setting: Weird World War
  • setting: Witchwood (setting) (a folk horror setting)
  • setting: Stephen King Country (Maine, Bachman Mills, Bangor, Portland, Castle Rock, Derry, Jerusalem's Lot, Collinsport, etc.)
  • setting: Hollow Earth, a collection of such locations from Lovecraftian and Pulp lore (Yoth, K'n-yan, N'kai, Cave World, Vaults of Zinn, Pnath, Pallucidar, Darklands, etc.)
  • setting: Cthulhu Icarus, a near-future space setting (it's a scenario, too, I believe, more so than a setting)
  • setting: Cthulhu End Times, a post-apocalyptic setting
  • setting: Thurian Age, prehistoric age from before the fall of Atlantis
  • setting: Hyborian Age, prehistoric age following the fall of Atlantis
  • the "Daylands" - the so-called "waking world", as opposed to the Dreamlands
  • character: Nephren-Ka
  • setting: Seven Planes
    • Elemental Plane
    • Material Plane
    • Astral Plane (including the major regions of The Astral Depths, and the Dreamlands and Summerlands, the latter simply being "dreamlands" constructed by self-proclaimed astral "gods" to serve as their pitiable personal "heavens" within their arrested development upon the Astral Plane (the "Dreamlands" may be considered to be a subset of the "Summerlands")
    • Causal Plane; Cthulhu as a deceived and insane guru; Nyarlathotep as a malevolent and broken dreamer
    • Outer Planes - the three outer planes have been semi-arbitrarily paired up with Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and Shub-Niggurath for "branding"/"theming" purposes (the actual Theosophical/Spiritualist/Mystic characterizations are actually not very far off from the theming for those three GOOs - only Shub-Niggurath really requires any awkward shoehorning, and even that is minor); these entities as anthropomorphized rules-sets of physics upon their respective planes, or as stereotyped ascended entities native to those planes....
  • setting: "Old Solar System" Cthulhu
    • Mercury: a "Makeover" thread exists but didn't go far; my brother is currently helping to flesh out this setting from an outsider's perspective! His Mercury is apparently running with a dark Industrial variation on the traditional dictatorship theme, starting with a ruthless industrialist's attempts at exploiting the world's resources for his own selfish reasons, and includes a unique new (and thoroughly alien) race native to this planet....
    • Venus: on the back-burner for a while; Venus as a sub-setting will expand on the Jungle Gothic theme used by Lovecraft and Kenneth J. Sterling in "In the Walls of Eryx (fiction)"... Sfanamoe (Venus), a jungle/swamp world as described in In the Walls of Eryx"
    • Mars and Martian, the Dreamlands of Barsoom; may still need clean-up (it just sort of seemed to naturally grow on me); builds on the "dying world"/"angry planet" theme of Barsoom, War of the Worlds, etc.
    • Thyoph (TBD) - Thyoph and the Belt (Thyoph is a world said to have existed between Mars and Jupiter, now destroyed, with only the asteroid belt remaining)
    • Jupiter (TBD) - Ylidiomph (Jupiter) (AKA Mhaggalok); its moons moons include: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto; "fourth moon" (Callisto?) inhabited by Insect Philosophers
    • Saturn (TBD) - Cykranosh (Saturn), population: Bhlemphroims, moons include: Titan
    • Uranus (TBD) - L'gy'hx (Uranus) and its moons (including Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon)
    • Neptune (TBD) - Yaksh (Neptune) and its moons (including Triton)
    • Yuggoth (TBD) - twin worlds Yuggoth and Nithon, and distant Kynarth on the outer rim (Pluto, Charon, and beyond)
  • Places: Category:Mythos:Locations


It looks like many of the scenarios have "red links" for monsters, tomes, locations, GOOs, cults, and organizations, some of which are unique to those scenarios (or their authors' other works). I may try to fill some of those red links, but feel free to add them yourself if you get to them first.

Scenarios:

  • (none right now)

Films - Catalogued

Scenarios

I've finished updating these scenario pages, feel free to provide further editing and reviews:

Style Guides:

  • CoC:Settings
  • Mythos:Cults
  • Films
  • Mythos:Artifacts
  • Mythos:GreatOldOnes
  • Locations
  • Races
  • Mythos:Tomes

Categories:

  • Expanded on categorization by "Setting" and "Style" (for example, it would seem that Dream scenarios are as much a departure from Purist CoC style as Pulp scenarios, depending on the Group's opinion of Dream scenarios; Dreamlands-based scenarios are a setting all of their own; etc.)
    • I should expect that Combat-Heavy scenarios are similarly a stylistic departure from traditional investigation-based scenarios, but I haven't decided whether to single these out as a Style yet.
  • new category for scenarios set in schools (location-based scenarios)
  • new category scenarios set in Japan (places)
  • New Venue Category: Farms
  • New Venue Category: Restaurants
  • Created categories for Sthood (a Dreamlands deity).
  • New categories for a few eras (Invictus, 18th and 19th centuries, etc.; surprisingly these did not already exist, but there don't seem to have been too many Colonial American or Imperial Roman scenarios archived in any great detail in the Wiki until I started documenting some of Halloween scenarios that use off-beat settings.)
  • New category for scenarios, Venue: Library
  • a few new scenario categories (mystic, witchcraft, birth/parenthood, mutant, investigators are homeless, Tillinghast Resonator artifact scenarios, Crawley scenarios, Proto-Lovecraftian scenarios, etc.)

Settings and Locations:

  • setting: "Cthulhu BERG" - 1960s UK ("British Experimental Rocket Group"), borrowing a bit from Quatermass; article is started, but needs some TLC from someone who knows British science fiction better than I do....
  • setting: Collinsport - a Maine setting based on the original Dark Shadows soap opera, which here is assumed to co-exist with Stephen King's fictional small towns in Maine (Salem's Lot, Derry, etc.); article is started, but needs some TLC from someone who remembers Dark Shadows better than I (I saw it off and on back in the 1970s and 1980s, but remember very little)
  • setting: Stephen King Country sites: Derry, and Jerusalem's Lot
  • Ye Olde Standing Stones - a generic location for cultists to perform rituals
  • What do you know? "Foxfield" is a Lovecraft creation, one I'd never heard of before, used in one of the scenarios I synopsed(?). I was unable to find the map Lovecraft was said to have drawn, but I suspect the map included in the scenario is probably at least based on it, so I created a cheap imitation. (Anyone with access to a copy of Lovecraft's original can feel free to replace my poor drawing, if there's no problem with copyright on Lovecraft's original.)
  • Redirects for "Hyborea", "Hyborean" to "Hyperborea".
  • Details about town of Aylesbury.
  • Added illustrations for the Corbitt House ("The Haunting"), and lighthouse for "Erne Rock", plus additional illustrations and alternate floor plans for buildings that have appeared in the first couple Halloween Monographs (I "built" the houses in 3D using The Sims 3, and posed them for screenshots).
  • Built and uploaded screenshots of the MU "Miskatonic University English Department", based roughly on a design included in one of the scenarios I looked at ("The Faculty Party"). Seems like the basic floor-plans could be re-used for any generic University classroom building, and might come in useful in other scenarios.
  • Created redirects for "Orne Library" and "Orne library" (they point to Miskatonic University (Location)).
  • Added, organized, and cited Miskatonic University staff and books in the Orne Library, making heavy changes to Miskatonic University (Location).
  • I contacted the author of one of the scenarios to see about including "lost" background information on the Village of Sogailraugh; it should be OK to include a link to the website that is hosting the supplemental information, and provide a map key.
  • city of Crawley
  • Setting: Seven Planes, the Other Side, Astral Plane, Causal Plane

Current Thoughts

I'm pretty sure there aren't too many genuinely "Lovecraftian" horror or science-fiction stories left for me to catalogue; really, at this point, I'm just dragging in very peripheral films. After cataloguing a handful of documentaries, I'll get started on a rather large list of short films; there are a LOT of them, and more every day.

I don't intend to be as thorough with these (that way lies only madness and futility!), and my priority will be on cataloguing those that are directly based on Lovecraft stories, and I'll be a lot more likely to ignore suggestions for short films that are only vaguely "Lovecraftian" at best, and a lot less likely to go out of my way to find new ones.

Really, Lovecraft has moved from a subculture interest into pop-culture kitsch in the internet age, and one can barely move through YouTube without bumping into a dozen home-made Lovecraftian shorts, often in the form of audio books or fan lectures half-heartedly illustrated with random pictures collected from DeviantArt, with few of the results being very noteworthy, let alone good. Additionally, more are being made all the time, with new ones appearing faster than I can keep up with.

I'll probably miss a lot of good Lovecraftian shorts I've never seen as a result of my refusal to play whack-a-mole with them, but there's no rule that says that I have to get them all - this is a wiki, there are, after all, other editors out there, and no reason they can't add their own favorite short films wherever I've missed some.
