thriller that progressively devolves into fantastic horrors, with gradation marked by ambiguous clues that gives less and less room for rational explanation in front of unnatural causality with the peak of the story being the confrontation to unfathomable horror that defeats perception and everything humanity is built on. That's the lovecraft gimmick, much more awkward to put into other media. Video games, music clips, comics, table games all tried but can't recreate what the book does.

On the Creation of Niggers (1912)
by H. P. Lovecraft

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

the one where they're in a submarine and find a cursed relic and they all go insane
eventually the submarine sinks to the bottom of the ocean and only a guy survives
he gets into a suit only to find out there's some sort of ruins waiting for him
would make a pretty cool flick desu

This. I want a cliche cthulu monster movie that appeals to the masses and launches a by-the-numbers cinematic universe so I can hear dumb bitch nerds cry about how hollywood ruined their 'spoopy' calamari monster.

>>87647346
I do actually, thanks for asking.

Why would you want to adapt one of the dullest franchises in the history of book franchises. Seriously each short story following the virgin professor and his pals from Providence as they fight assorted cosmic monsters has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of big words, all to make horror unhorrific, to make action seem inert.

>a-at least the Mythos were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "could not help feeling that they were evil things -- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Lovecraft's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of At the Mountains of Madness by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading At the Mountains of Madness at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read " At the Mountains of Madness" you are, in fact, trained to watch Warne_Bros. Pictures'IT.

Calling Lovecraft racist s a bit misleading, skin color played a part but Lovecraft was closer to an actual xenophobe than racist. He despised anyone who didn't fit into what he considered as Anglo culture. However those feelings seemed to have died down as he got older.
Lovecraft is still a deeply influential author to his genre regardless of his personal life.

>Grotesque beyond the imagination of a Poe or a Bulwer, they were damnably human in general outline despite webbed hands and feet, shockingly wide and flabby lips, glassy, bulging eyes, and other features less pleasant to recall.

Combine this with other descriptions provided about Deep Ones and you have a good picture of Dagon. He's a big fish man.
Cthulhu is well described in Call of Cthulhu which I'm not going to go digging through fro a quote.

>>87645854
when you're able to describe the monster and put an actual face to it, it does become less scary. it's a common thing that occurs in horror movies. the monster is super scary at first when you only get glimpse of it, but loses its touch near the end when you're faced to it for a longer time. letting the imagination do some legwork is actually very effective when it comes to fear

>If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing.

He also drops small descriptors throughout that paint a bigger picture. Stuff like "membranous wings" "green sticky spawn of the stars" "flabby claws" etc

>>87649512
Comics
Alberto Brecciaadapted the story in 1973.

Several plot elements from "Shadow over Innsmouth" appear in two comics of theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesfranchise, namely in theMirage comic"Men of Shadow" (TMNTVol.1 #29) and theArchie comic"In the Dark" (TMNT Adventures#27).

>>87648700
>>87648813
Those are by no means detailed, anon. Yes, he clearly describes some of the most usual features, but also leaves many details up to the reader's imagination:
>damnably human
>other features less pleasant to recall
>I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing
>it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful

He usually hints at something, something that can't be fully conveyed by words, only vaguely glimpsed in the deliberate omission of information, the hyperbole and the conjunction of seemingly incompatible terms.

Easy.

Structurally it would be closest to Midnight in Paris or the old Walter Mitty movie with Danny Kaye. It's HP's mundane, beta life, getting ignored by his literary peers, crushed by his mother, henpecked by his wife, getting no money for his work. Maybe Robert Howard kills himself in a comedic way. But every now and then it slides into a vignette of one of his purple horror stories, juxtaposing his nihilistic nightmares with the utter mundanity and tedium of his real life.

And it would end with Komm Susser Tod.

A young writer gets sent a book in a mysterious package. After opening it and reading the first sentence he becomes possessed and reads the whole book. He knows every language on Earth however he starts to see something on the corner of his eyes and in the dark. Eventually he hones his sight and realizes he must stop the old ones and crab people crab people crab people.

>>87649731
From all the descriptors used in Call of Cthulhu, we know
>very large
>octopus head
>face is a mass of feelers
>humanoid figure
>large curved claws
>membraneous narrow wings like a dragon
>green, sticky skin
>body/skin is gelatinous
>has the ability to reform if you severely wound him
And that's just from me skimming over it just now. I'm sure he uses even more descriptions in the story to convey what Cthulhu looks like. There's nothing vague about it, m8.

>>87650099
And then there's this:
>"The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled"

We may know the general outline and appearance of it, but there's so much more we don't know and it's only hinted at in the text.
I still think Cthulhu's description isn't detailed at all, especially compared to that of more "earthy" beings like the Elder Things. But then again, I think we're just arguing semantics here.

>>87650758
>describes the thing in detail

Racist Poetry Slam

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Iove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.
t. Lovecraft

>>87653197
It's a sort of metaphor

Cthulhu is a big guy

>>87653197
>a mountain
cthulhu is so massive that he can be described as a mountain

>walked or stumbled
cthulhus movement was sort of a walk, but also could have been a stumble.

it's supposed to suggest he moved in an inhuman manner.

A good lovecraftian movie must focus on two world colliding. The old world full of impious practice that violates the fabric of reality itself. And hard science that also violate the reality. Those both worlds collides leading our world to be shaken by unspeakable forces , the doom of humanity.

Not an other monster movie about muh tentacle creature killing a small team of multiracial young explorators/scientists/journalists.

The Mist was very Lovecraftian.

People like him in a kitschy way. Nobody thinks his writing is good on a technical level, except maybe ATMOM. For me personally, I liked him more than some other popular writers. I laughed four times reading Don Quixote and A Confederacy of Dunces combined. I laughed more reading Lolita or the Gulag Archipelago.

He's the high priest of the Elder/Outer Gods, not one of them himself.

Also, he wasn't killed. The stars weren't right and R'lyeh was returning to the depths. Think of it as him waking up at the wrong time and getting hit in the face with a boat, which he immediately recovers from. Then he goes back to sleep until the time is right and he rises once more from the depths to eat some muthafuckas.

Is it cool to hate Lovecraft now?

I think it's just some random ghoul chilling on the foreground and a gang of ghouls doing ghoul stuff on the background.

The Dunwich Horror would translate well to film.

oooo spooky monster. Nah, pretty fuckin gay bruh.

I'd love to see The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood adapted. That shit always creeped me out.

I tried to get into Lovecraft by reading At the Mountains of Madness. But the way he goes off on a tangent and describes some prehistoric war between the monsters.. way to kill the suspence ol' chap.

>>87661144
One of the earlier ones. Dagon, perhaps.

I'll keep that in might.

>>87661150
You do realize Dagon is actually based on The Shadow over Innsmouth, right?

this is admittedly a pretty good plot for a scifi/horror flick, but how is this lovecraftian?
