3. It didn't make much of an impression on me. But I really liked |
|
this book called "Resume with Monsters", by William Browning Spencer: What if Cthulhu and his minions attempted a corporate take-over in Silicon Valley tech-company?
I guess I like ironic spoofs and derivatives of Lovecraft more than I like Lovecraft.

I read em all. Have the Arkham house books. I recomend them if you like his work.
I liked Mountains of Madness. It just felt like an adventure/horror movie to me. Not so much horror like slasher horror, but psychological weirdness horror.
I still think it'd make a great movie.

Good chance they'll screw it up, but you never know.

6. Depends on how 'adapted' it is. |
|
If they over 'adapt' it it's done. If they don't spend enough money on effects it's done.
I'd hate to see it be some sci-fi channel movie. It really deserves top notch treatment.

7. I would choose "Pickman's Model" or "Charles Dexter Ward"... |
|
over any of these. "The Colour Out of Space" is certainly not Lovecraft at his best.
