H.P. Lovecraft

[FangoFan]

I'd like see the response of Lovecraft fans.
Anything at all you want to mention about the creator of modern horror, feel free.

Fav. Lovecraft stories and so-on


H.P. Lovecraft deserves in every way to be referred to as a genius.

Or purhaps a God even. A true master at creating Visual / Visceral horror .

This is a tribute to The Man.

My fav. Lovecraft works:
The Crawling Chaos
At the Mountains of Madness
The Call of Cthulu
The Shadow Over Innsmouth

As a matter-a-fact Clive Barker seems to draw a lot his insperations from Lovecraft storytelling.

Favorite story: From Beyond
Favorite movie: Anything Stuart Gordon directed.

[roguesblight]

Any of his movies that stars Jeffrey Combs! The two make beautiful music together, oops, I meant movies!

[FangoFan]

Guillermo del Toro is planning to make an adaptation to At The Mountains Of Madness , I think it will be my favorate H.P. Lovecraft film. If it goes through.

I've read some of the Lovecraft books I listed but the list is all of his fiction work. Some are extremely rare, and hard to find, but any that I've come across are really fine reads.
I recommend looking for any of them and picking them up, and of course read them.
Their is no horror writer more classic then H.P. Lovecraft
R.I.P. Lovecraft (1890 - 1937)

[hypes057]

what kind of horror does he write? and damn, u know ur lovecraft!

does he write, like say, king, or more like barker?

[FangoFan]

It's hard to describe him as King or Barker or anyone.

Lovecraft was writting stories from the early 1910's up untill 1937 so it's definitly old school material
Anyone writing horror today, or that takes part making horror films should pay homage to the man that started it all.

He's more like Barker though, a great mix of fantasy/horror.

My dad has a bunch of his books. I plan on reading them once I finish plowing through the ones I have now.
