I would say weird horror in general, not just limited to Lovecraftian.

It was perhaps the best for it's time, when the world was still largely in a phase of "undiscoveredness". These days, big tentacly monsters and cosmicism in general simply doesn't scare people as much as it did then (assuming it did at all).

Good horror is relate-able, so off the top of my head, the internet and technology are good sources of horror because many people don't know or understand technology, and what it's doing to us. Preying on "near future" scenarios where we have AI which can pretend to fail the Turing Test and slowly take over the world from the inside out, is pretty scary.

Having one's privacy invaded is another relate-able fear of this age; people spying on us at all times, monitoring our thoughts, home invasions and stalkers, these are all things which could feasibly happen (for the most part), making them scary, because we cannot dismiss the possibility as easily as say, a big tentacled space monster, or fish people.

I don't think Eldritch/Lovecraftian horror has aged well. That said, Lovecraft's philosophy can still be exploited to great effect if combined with more relate-able source material than 1920's technology and eldritch abominations. Think about what makes people worried and paranoid these days, and that's probably going to scare people more than old squid-face
