Lovecraft Movies. Lovecraftian Television Shows. Like motion pictures, television shows and cartoons have borrowed elements from Lovecraft’s works.

Lovecraftian Television Shows

Babylon 5 Several elements of this show are Lovecraft-inspired, since creator J. Michael Straczynski is a big Lovecraft fan. “Deathwalker” The Pak’ma’ra are introduced in this episode, a race of creatures that bear a resemblance to Cthulhu. “Passing Through Gethsemane” This episode has a character known as Brother “Edward”/“Charles Dexter”; a reference to Lovecraft’s The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Dark Shadows Many episodes of “Dark Shadows” were based, at least in part, on well-known works of fiction. Monsters Considering the name of this series, it’s no surprise that they focused on tales that featured, well, monsters. “The Space Eaters” (Episode 63) Based on the story by Frank Belknap Long. Hercules: The Legendary Journeys “Hercules” is produced by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, who were responsible for the “Evil Dead” films. Lovecraft Inspired Movies. Lovecraftian Movies.

Remote in the desert of Araby lies the nameless city, crumbling and inarticulate, its low walls nearly hidden by the sands of uncounted ages. That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons death may die. For hours I waited, till the east grew grey and the stars faded, and the grey turned to roseate light edged with gold.

The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft

He writes with an awkward, clunky, affected style that does not flow well and can be disruptive to the mood he would like to build. But the ideas themselves, the stories he wanted to tell, are in themselves so chilling that they transcend his less than stellar prose. A lot of horror and science fiction that we have today is influenced by Lovecraft. A lot of authors in these genres consider him a powerful influence. It says something that authors like Stephen King, Brian Lumley, Robert Bloch, and others, have written stories set in Lovecraft's mythology.
