Welcome to Unfilmable.com's Lovecraft in the movies page.



Here you will find films in which H.P. Lovecraft is portrayed as a character involved in the storyline (as Lovecraft himself or in name only). Of particular note is Christopher Heyerdahl's performance in Out of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft. You'll almost believe your watching footage of Lovecraft himself...

If you know of a film not listed here, please email me at: pickman@unfilmable.com
