To me it seems like his literature just doesnt fit onto the big screen. Some of the movie adaptations are ok to good at best but there hasnt been the Great lovecraft movie as of late. I have no problem watching and reading older works but a younger audience will more often look for a movie before a book. That same audience will probably overlook some of the newer on screen renditions of his work b/c the movie doesnt seem scary or suspenseful enough. Maybe its just me but I always thought his monsters were more for the reader to create in their own minds instead of just watching it on TV or in a theater. Im probably a part of a very small clientle who thinks that though. All that being said Id say Re-animator and The Resurrected were his best. Die Monster Die and The Crimson Cult (only b/c of Karloff) are close seconds.
Those 4 ARE Lovecraft adaptations right?
