Besides At the Mountains of Madness? I have has The Complete Collection of H.P Lovecraft for years and years. Never read all of it, but at times read various stuff - I like all of it, and have read most, if not all of his longer stories.... Tell me yours! |
|
Oh... that's tough... I've read them all at least twice.  Case of Charles Dexter Ward is up there. The Shadow over Innsmouth, obviously. Nyarlathotep <- also my favorite HPL diety. The Haunter of the Dark ... I also recommend reading stuff from Robert Bloch and Clark Ashton Smith, if you like HPL. |
|
The Rats in the Walls The Haunter of the Dark The Colour Out of Space The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath The Shadow over Innsmouth The Case of Charles Dexter Ward The Lurking Fear At the Mountains of Madness I have the full collection and have probably read them all a dozen times over however the above I think are my favorites. The collaboration with August Derleth, The Lurker at the Threshhold is also a great story. |
|
This guy does great readings of Lovecraft (along with other authors), if you are more of an audiobook guy: Link to HPL stuff. Cthulhu mythos, specifically: Full Dream Cycle: |

You wonder why there has not been a good adaptation of Lovecraft's works on film. My favorite Lovecraft inspired movie is Underwater  Failed To Load Title |

Love the books. One of the best 'not Lovecraft' Lovecraft movies. Crappy trailer.  In the Mouth of Madness (1994) - Trailer HD 1080p |
|
I'm more of an MR James guy. Also, a really creepy story you folks might like(?)  Smee by A. M. Burrage as told by Edward E French |

My favorite Lovecraft inspired movie is Underwater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLLgCEC_SuMI will check it out. My favorite Lovecraftian movie is "Mouth of Madness". Maybe not directly inspired by Lovecraft - whatever. |
Another MR James story. Failed To Load Title |

Quoted: I just read that for the first time this weekend. Not sure how I missed it for so long. Excellent. Quoted: Quoted: The Color out of Space I just read that for the first time this weekend. Not sure how I missed it for so long. Excellent. The new Nick Cage movie isn't terrible.  COLOR OUT OF SPACE Official Trailer It's no Mandy, but not bad.

Annihilation is also a good not lovecraft-but lovecraft film.  Annihilation (2018) - Official Trailer - Paramount Pictures |

Color was good too, I haven't read the story; I've got a big old collection of Lovecraft stuff I still haven't opened. ?? |

In case you don't have them yet...  Free Lovecraft I couldn't get the kindle version to work so I downloaded the PDF. |
|
Quoted: No 'Dreams in the Witch House' yet? This. Man, love this one. There's also a great film version by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, Dagon, From Beyond, Castle Freak) that was part of the Masters of Horror series. I also love Shadow over Innsmouth and Pickman's Model. |
I'd also be remiss if I didn't note that Nemesis can be sung to the tune of Piano Man: H.P Joelcraft |

The written story is (obiously) better. Film is not the best medium for Lovecraft stuff, but there are better attempts than others. The Reanimator is also notable! |
| On a different tack, in the forward of one of Robert E Howard's "Conan" books, there is report of a discussion between Robert E Howard and H. P. Lovecraft, in the early 1930s, about whether "modern" civilization would ever be brought down by barbarism, (as in barbaric behavior) which I found fascinating. The conclusion, IIRC, was that barbarism would ultimately triumph. This begins to sound a bit too familiar. |

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward Oh, Rod Stirlings Night Gallery did a couple HP Lovecraft stories. One of them is Pickmans Model: https://archive.org/details/pickmans-model |
