Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown (2009)

A documentary about H.P. with observations that come almost exclusively from interviews with a small group of filmmakers and writers (Stuart Gordon, Guillermo del Toro, John Carpenter, Peter Straub, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Ramsey Campbell, S. T. Joshi, Robert M. Price, Andrew Migliore and Neil Gaiman), so, in essence, it’s about what Lovecraft means to them as much as anything else. They use all the correct words to describe his fiction, but it’s the short analytical moments that offer real insight.
