H.P. Lovecraft in Film and Series - The Lovecraftian Movie List

1677 items • Updated 5/5/2026
A list of titles based on, inspired by, or with echoes of H.P. Lovecraft's works. Adaptations as well as Lovecraftian works in chronological order. The list is a constant work in progress as I'm adding new titles and notes regularly.

I've also started adding a score from 1-5 to the films I've watched, 5 points being the most Lovecraftian in my humble opinion (mostly direct adaptations). The HPLP (Howard Phillips Lovecraft Points) rating has nothing to do with the quality or enjoyment factor of the films, just the amount of 'Lovecraft' I experienced and found in them. Anthologies and series are purely rated on the segments and episodes noted in the commentaries. And again, it's just what I got out of the works. Also a work in progress, some titles I have yet to see, others I should rewatch through a Lovecraftian lens I guess, before adding a score. Use the 'detailed view' to see the scores and explanations.
