We got a Re-Animator movie decades ago, but it was a little silly.

By the way, did you guys hear about Lovecraft Country?

>Lovecraft Country
>Jordan Peele executive producer
that's unfortunate, could be a great series

I'm getting sick of all this race baiting shit thrown in my Lovecraft shit.

Still not direct. It only has the basic premise and the hotel room scene in common.
It's as direct as Re-Animator.

HPLHS made film versions of 'The Call of Cthulhu' (B/W, silent) and 'The Whisperer in Darkness' (color, talkie).

Yeah, these and some of the shorts are the only direct adaptations. All of the shorts I've seen were unremarkable or just downright shit.

>HBO has tapped comedian and director Jordan Peele to adapt Matt Ruff's horror novel "Lovecraft Country" with "Underground" showrunner Misha Green.

>The "Key & Peele" co-creator, who is basking in the success of his clever horror satire "Get Out," is going back to television by teaming up with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television for the one-hour series.

>Through his Monkeypaw Productions, Peele reportedly brought Ruff's book to Bad Robot and enlisted Green to helm the project, according to Deadline, which first reported the news.

>The Comedy Central star took to Twitter to clarify that the show "is more of a social thriller/horror/sci fi/ based on Matt Ruff's book" than a drama.

>Green, whose slavery drama "Underground" is on WGN America, also touted the new project, tweeting that there were no words for how excited she is "to tell genre stories where the black folks don't die first."

>Peele and Green will serve as executive producers along with Abrams. Green will also pen the pilot and serve as showrunner.

>Ruff's 2016 novel is set in the Jim Crow-addled 1950s and revolves around Atticus Black, who embarks on a road trip to find his missing father. He and his traveling companions, Letitia and his uncle George, face a slew of cosmic horrors and racism along the way. The anthological horror series is meant to reclaim genre storytelling from the African American perspective.

If this doesn't prove the existence of monkey's paw wishes I don't know what does

>>82871884
But that's exactly what the book is about. What's the "monkey paw" aspect of it?

>I wish for more adaptations of Lovecraft
>get fanfiction

>reclaim genre storytelling from the African American perspective.
Never really "theirs" in the first place

Its like an Irishman writing a modern book "reclaiming" the genre about slavery from the black man.

>>82869662
There is non, with maybe the exception of the silent Call of Cthulhu adapation

>>82869868

It's not even an adaptation of Lovecraft, nor it claims to be. It's like being disappointed because you wanted one last Elvis movie and you got Bubba Ho Tep.
I mean, it's not like they released a movie called "At The Mountains Of Madness" and the cast was full of faggots and transgenders or whatever.
