Films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovecraftian_horror_films) that are adaptations of Lovecraft's work (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0522454/) or inspired by him or could fit in his vast Cthulhu Mythos or feature him as a character (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0034056/). Obviously, this gets a bit subjective at the fringes but is all the better for it.

Removed: Mystery of the Necronomicon: Book of the Dead (1999), a Lovecraftian hentai that doesn't appear to be that porny but it can't be added to this list. Another mucky movie inspired by Lovecraft is Angel Above - The Devil Below (1974).

Comments: As I don't have a Facebook account I cannot interact with the new comments system, so have switched it off and replaced it with a thread on the message board (http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000122/nest/203664214).

H.P. Lovecraft in Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown (2008)

A list of titles based on, inspired by, or with echoes of H.P. Lovecraft's works. Adaptations as well as Lovecraftian works in chronological order. The list is a constant work in progress as I'm adding new titles and notes regularly. 

I've also started adding a score from 1-5 to the films I've watched, 5 points being the most Lovecraftian in my humble opinion (mostly direct adaptations). The HPLP (Howard Phillips Lovecraft Points) rating has nothing to do with the quality or enjoyment factor of the films, just the amount of 'Lovecraft' I experienced and found in them. Anthologies and series are purely rated on the segments and episodes noted in the commentaries. And again, it's just what I got out of the works. Also a work in progress, some titles I have yet to see, others I should rewatch through a Lovecraftian lens I guess, before adding a score.
