Revision as of 01:22, 12 December 2016

This is the "big, dumb list" of "Lovecraftian" movies that Yronimos Whateley is in the process of cataloguing in the Wiki. It's "big", and it's "dumb" because if Yronimos were smart, he'd never have started undertaking such a mad task.

The list was generated largely by mining several lists of suggestions made to Cthulhu-themed internet discussion boards in response to questions about "Lovecraftian" films. It's also (currently) unorganized - it's mostly listed roughly in the order that Yronimos felt like adding them to the catalogue in, without regard to date, alphabetical order, or any other system of sorting.

Yronimos quickly realized there was a number of films that are clearly "Lovecraftian" - being based explicitly on Lovecraft's stories with varying degrees of faithfulness - while others were almost universally considered "Lovecraftian" in spite of not being based on any particular story; then, there were a number of films in a grey area which could be suggested without objection, and finally a number which would prompt some lively objection and debate over whether it could be included; thus the "tentacles" rating system was born; depending on how "Lovecraftian" Yronimos found the films to be on a slightly less-than-completely subjective scale, with the most accurate adaptations getting five tentacles, and the films most likely to cause argument getting only 1 tentacle, and films that Yronimos could not see any but the most tenuous and distant relationship to Lovecraft (not even a brief mention of his name or anything) in getting left out of the catalogue.

Notes

Want to help, but do not feel like creating your own entry from scratch? See the "Catalogued" section below for films that interest you - most catalogued films in this section could really use the following added to their pages:

  • REVIEWS, EXISTING: Links to reviews needed! Especially reviews from a "Lovecraftian" angle; films reviewed in "Lovecraft film marathons" or on Lovecraft-themed sites are ideal; reviews from general horror-themed sites are OK, reviews written by YSDC members (maybe by YOU) are awesome!
  • REVIEWS, NEW: If you've never seen a film before and want to track it down and watch it, feel free to blog your own review of the film, and add a link to your review on the film's page.
  • SYNOPSES: Very few of these film pages include detailed plot synopses. Feel free to expand the Synopsis section of your favorite film with an original, more detailed play-by-play of the plot.
  • ASSOCIATED MYTHOS ELEMENTS: Whenever possible, in this section I try to mention "Lovecraftian" elements that appear in the film, like tomes, creatures, deities, etc. Sometimes, I forget some elements and miss others for films I have seen, or I just don't know what elements appear in films I've never seen. In rare cases, films will include tomes, creatures, gods, etc. that I don't recognize. If you notice anything missing from the "Associated Mythos Elements" section, feel free to add them.
  • KEEPER NOTES: If you've used a film as a basis for an RPG scenario before, feel free to add suggestions and advice to the "Keeper Notes" suggestion describing ways the film can be adapted to adventures for Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, etc. I hope to include such notes for every film eventually, but they tend to be time-consuming to write from scratch.


Catalogued

In no particular order:


In Progress

The following "Lovecraftian" Film suggestions with red links are not yet catalogued:


TV Series, Anthologies:


Documentaries?


Shorts:


Unfiltered Animations and Shorts =

I haven't gone through these yet at all; they seem to be a mix of short-subject films, anthologies, and cartoons (which range from episodes imitating Lovecraft's fiction, to episodes that might have a Lovecraft reference as a punch-line somewhere):



I don't Get These

I couldn't really figure out the "Lovecraftian" angle on the following films that I've seen suggested as "Lovecraftian":


Games

I really don't feel like doing these; perhaps on a slow day I'll just make sure some "red links" are added somewhere, so someone with the motivation can do the work:
