Ummmm
Director John Carpenter's Lovecraftian tribute movie In the Mouth of Madness (1995) bases its title on this story, although the plot is unrelated.
Director Guillermo Del Toro has written a screenplay based on Lovecraft's story, but as of 2006 has had trouble getting Warner Brothers to finance the project. Wrote Del Toro, "The studio is very nervous about the cost and it not having a love story or a happy ending, but it's impossible to do either in the Lovecraft universe."[16]
This is one of the best Lovecraft stories ever. I love the story. Its nasty, cosmic, can be thought of as a precursor to John Carpenter's The Thing but should it be a movie? The short answer is.. No.
