Do your tastes in horror trend to old gods, cosmic terror, and all things HP Lovecraft? Then you might want to check out these six films!

The Haunted Palace (1963)

From our review: “It’s moody, it’s got some great cinematography, and it boasts the first mentions of C’thulu and the Necronomicon in movie history.”

The Dunwich Horror (1970)

From our review: “The Dunwich Horror makes extensive use of unusual cuts and lenses to give parts of this movie a disturbing dreamlike focus. However, like many of these Lovecraft movies, it’s a lot of sizzle and little steak.”

Children of the Stones (1977)

From our review: “What really makes this folk horror Lovecraftian in tone is the way that it employs science fiction elements. I can’t go into detail without revealing spoilers. Just know that they’re there.”

In the Mouth of Madness (1995)

From our review: “The story is interesting and the build-up from minor special effects to whipping tentacles and blood-oozing is very entertaining.”

The Call of Cthulu (2005)

From our review: “Though the production was intent on mimicking silent movies of the 1920s (down to the picturing having minor scratches and artifacts), one aspect they did not emulate was the acting. This was for the best.”

The Void (2016)

From our review: “So why are people calling The Void an ’80s-style film? If I had to pick a singular answer, it would be monster design.”
