Well - I think most ppl mention The Thing as the both feature Scientists in the Antarctics facing an 'Alien' terror. The shoggoths in ATMOM are to some degree shapeshifters but not really in the same way as The Thing.
The Fog is only mentioned because of some Lovcraft name dropping like Arkham Reef etc...There loads of films that do this that I wouldn't consider Lovecraft inspired like the Evil Dead with the Necronomican and The Beyond with the Book of Ebon (though the atmosphere is a little Lovecraftian) - also isn't City of the Living Dead Set in Arkham?
