* ''[[Friday the 13th: the Series (1987 series)]]'' (note also that the ninth film includes a blink-and-you-miss it shot of the ''Necronomicon Ex-Mortis'' in the background, apparently because it looked cool or possibly as a sight-gag; later there was also a comic that crossed-over Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Evil Dead)

I'll be working on filling out the occasional monster and GOO pages getting collected here: ([[:Category:Wiki_Cleanup]])
  
−
TV Series, Anthologies ([http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/13274-master-list-of-lovecraftian-tv-shows/ Master List]):
+
Before doing so, I'll go through the list of GOOs and mark the skimpy pages for Cleanup/Expansion.
  
−
* ''[[Dark Shadows (1966 franchise)]]'' (the Leviathans story arc channels Lovecraftian fiction) https://lovecraftzine.com/2013/12/10/the-collinsport-horror-dark-shadows-and-the-cthulhu-mythos-by-rick-lai/
+
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.
−
* ''[[Penny Dreadful (2014 series)]]'' ("not explicitly Lovecraftian, but is well done and provides excellent imagery for Gaslight era horror.")
 
−
* ''[[Salem (2014 series)]]'' (Brown Jenkins is a character)
 
−
* ''[[The Whispers (2015 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Extant (2014 series)]]'' ("to be honest, I wasn't crazy about this show and felt it really didn't work in its second season, but the first season, at least, seemed to work on a vaguely Lovecraftian level.  The story was in many ways similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Village of the Damned, with alien fungi impregnating an astronaut as the first step in unleashing their formless, mind-controlling psychic hybrid children onto the Earth.  (If the first season could be compared to Village of the Damned, then the second season could be compared to the sequel Children of the Damned, with both the second season and the similar sequel failing to engage me as completely as the originals for similar reasons - namely, in that the second season and sequel really weren't particularly creepy, and suffered from being slightly preachy and talky.  YMMV.)")
 
−
* ''[[First Wave (1998 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[War of the Worlds (1988 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Intruders (2014 series)]]'' ("about an ancient, secret cult who can project their minds after death into the bodies of other people.  The Lovecraftian atmosphere was at best sort of vague in the first season, but I suspect that it would have gotten more overt had the show been given a chance to develop elements such as the "ghost machine" (some sort of creepy fringe science device that let ordinary people hear disembodied spirits), the cult's ancient conspiracy, its library full of strange tomes written by generations of the same personalities in different bodies, and so on.")
 
−
* ''[[Fringe (2013 series)]]'' ("Still early to call, in this reality, fringe science (such as that present in "The Reanimator" and "Whisperer in the Darkness") is real, including reading the minds of the living and recently deceased, bionic replacement, nanobot infestations, and cloning. Focus is apparently primarily on the technological singularity, and it is hinted that something (probably a corporation or cabal, rather than an alien or otherworldly presence) is using the earth as a petri dish.")
 
−
* ''[[The Others (2000 series)]]'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Others_(TV_series)
 
−
* ''[[Sanctuary (2008 series)]]'' ("an episode has a tentacle whip out of a boys belly to drill a hole in some poor saps head and we're introduced to a menagerie of beasties...ok not exactly Lovecraft but I thought I'd mention it")
 
−
* ''[[Dark Skies (1996 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[The X-files (1993 series)]]''  "Our Town" (said to be like a Lovecraft story with cannibals instead of tentacle monsters)
 
−
* ''[[Star Trek 1966 series)]]'' ("the Kelvans, aliens from Andromeda that took on human forms and would "distill" people into a powdery polyhedron ("essential saltes," anyone?), as well as Sylvia and Korob, alien illusionists who looked a bit like tentacled stickbugs in their natural form. The mind-controlling jellyfish things from "Operation: Annihilate" were very creepy and Lovecrafty in their own way, as well.")
 
−
* ''[[Babylon 5 (1994 franchise)]]'' ("Several elements of this show are Lovecraft-inspired, since creator J. Michael Straczynski is a big Lovecraft fan. “Passing Through Gethsemane” This episode has a character known as Brother “Edward”/“Charles Dexter”; a reference to Lovecraft’s The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. "")
 
−
* ''[[Supernatural (2005 series)]]'' (episode "Let It Bleed" features Lovecraft as a character/plot device/theme for the episode; the Leviathans story arc introduced in Season 7 is a riff on Lovecraftian fiction)
 
−
* ''[[Lost (2004 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[The League of Gentlemen (1999 series)]]'' ("dark humour,  particularly the couple in the "local" shop, wouldn't be out of place in Innsmouth")
 
−
* ''[[Todd and the Book of Pure Evil (2012 series)]]'' ("is also centered around a Necronomicon-like book")
 
−
* ''[[Strange (2002 series)]]'' ("A team formed of a Defrocked Priest, Nurse, Computer/Electronics wizz kid and a mediumistic young man investigating and stopping demonic activity in the local city (Bristol I think??).  Very atmospheric and eerie with the team working from limited information, scouring ancient books and newspapers alike and often having many misteps before they track down the "Demon of the Week". And in the background the Uber-Demon Asmoth (who killed the Priest's wife) looms large and unidentified.")
 
−
* ''[[Doomwatch (1970 series)]]'' ("The series was set in the then present day, and dealt with a scientific government agency led by Doctor Spencer Quist (played by John Paul), responsible for investigating and combating various ecological and technological dangers. ")
 
−
* The Tomorrow People ("*Another* British show, rebroadcast on cable in the 80s, Stateside. I have no idea if it holds up, but it was serious nightmare fuel for me as a child.")
 
−
* ''[[Sapphire and Steel (1979 series)]]'' (" the first story that takes place entirely in a house being invaded by strange beings from outside the "corridor" of time. And I hear that the series gets better from there, as it moves from being a kid oriented series into more adult territory.")
 
−
* ''[[Children of the Stones (1977 series)]]'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_the_stones
 
−
* ''[[The Owl Service (1969 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Moondial (1988 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[The Box of Delights (1984 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Ultraviolet (1998 series)]]'' ("It's UK government agents vrs. Vampires, but at least the vampires are something new. Not one fang to be found among them... and why not? Fangs are not in the folklore. That's Bram Stoker's b.s. It may not be Lovecraftian, but its a good look at how a police procedural would be impacted by the supernatural.")
 
−
* ''[[The One Game (1988 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Oktober (1998 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Edge of Darkness (1985 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[The Nightmare Man (1981 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Jekyll (2007 series)]]''
 
−
* ''[[Strange World (1999 series)]]'' ("Our hero, working for USAMRIID is consulting on crimes using extremely advanced science. It was pretty much "Fringe" only without the ridiculous conflicts built in between the characters. I enjoyed it alot. My favorite moment in "Strange World" was when the discover that some one is cloning human body parts for organ replacement. And where do they find this beating but disembodied human heart? In a jar in a lab? NO. They find it when they give an ultrasound to the woman who's being going to a fertility clinic of last resort. She was willing to put up will all kinds of pain and discomfort if it meant she could have a bady. When they run the ultrasound it isn't the bad she can feel kicking... it's the beating human heart.")
 
−
* ''[[Hercules (1999 series)]]'': The Legendary Journeys ("“Hercules” is produced by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, who were responsible for the “Evil Dead” films. “City of the Dead”  The Necronomicon figures prominently in this episode.")

==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]]
 +
** [[Daylands|Material Plane]]
 +
** [[Astral Plane]] (including the major regions of [[Other Side|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")
 +
** [[Seven_Planes#Causal_Plane_.28Fourth_Plane.29|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)

It looks like many of the scenarios have "red links" for monsters, tomes, locations, 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.

==Out of Scope==

Additionally, I've done the following things that were originally outside my "Halloween Scenario" scope:
 
−
* <strike>[[Lemon_Sails]]</strike> (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
 
 
* new category for scenarios set in schools (location-based scenarios)  
 
* new category for scenarios set in schools (location-based scenarios)  
 
* new category scenarios set in Japan (places)  
 
* new category scenarios set in Japan (places)  
−
* 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.
 
−
* 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)]].
 
−
* Created categories for Sthood (a Dreamlands deity).
 
−
* Added illustrations for the Miskatonic University Library, Corbitt House ("The Haunting"), and lighthouse for "[[Terror at 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 [http://www.thesims3.com The Sims 3], and posed them for screenshots).
 
−
* Created a page about [[Halloween]], mainly to answer the question of why cultists would choose to perform spells and rituals on Halloween (which has quickly become a good question, considering the number of Halloween scenarios I've seen so far in documenting the Halloween Monographs!)
 
 
* New Venue Category:  Farms

* Created an entry for "The [[Book of the Dark Order of Baphomet]]"; I took the opportunity to begin sketching in the foundations of a loose Tome template I may use for future entries (based loosely on the entry for the [[Necronomicon]]).
+
* Created categories for Sthood (a Dreamlands deity).
−
* 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.)
 
 
* 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.)

−
* Added some variations of mythos tomes included in a couple of scenarios, and created several pages for new tomes.
+
* a few new scenario categories (mystic, witchcraft, birth/parenthood, mutant, investigators are homeless, Tillinghast Resonator artifact scenarios, [[Crawley]] scenarios, Proto-Lovecraftian scenarios, etc.)  
−
* Redirects for "Hyborea", "Hyborean" to "Hyperborea".
 
−
* Details about town of Aylesbury.
 
−
* Illustration for Deep Ones (taken from a creepy old woodcut)
 
−
* A new page for Gloon.
 
−
* Better organization of [[Occult Books]]
 
−
* New illustrations for [[Terror_at_Erne_Rock|Erne Rock]] lighthouse.
 
−
* Added details to "Cultes des Goules" and "Comte d'Erlette" as a result of running across some details in a Delta Green story.
 
−
* 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.
 
−
* 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.
 
−
* Added or expanded the pages for numerous creature races and lesser-known Great Old Ones.
 
−
* Template and Categories for Films and reviews, plus a "Lovecraftian" rating system:
 
−
** [[Tentacle Ratings]]
 
−
** Category:Film:General
 
−
** Category:Film:Franchise
 
−

= 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.
  
−
=Personal Thoughts=
+
I'll probably miss a lot of <i>good</i> 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.

In Progress/Upcoming

"Lovecraftian" Filmography

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.

  • Mythos:Artifacts

  • Locations
  • Races

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.
