"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:

  • Bird Box (2018 film)
  • Higher Power (2018 film) When the Universe decides what it wants, it's pointless to resist.

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

    • 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....

    • 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: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.
