Lovecraft
Bestiary
 
Welcome to Unfilmable.com's Lovecraft Bestiary. You'll have to admit, one of the things that first drew you to H.P. Lovecraft was the monsters. When asked, artist Dave Carson said of his interest in Lovecraft, "I love H.P. Lovecraft because I just like drawing monsters..." It seems many directors have been drawn to Lovecraft's indescribable horrors as well. Sometimes with mixed results. Below you will find a partial list of monsters in Lovecraft's bestiary and the films that contain them. If you know of a film (or monster) not listed, please email me here: pickman@unfilmable.com
