There's a festival every year in portland about this:
http://www.hplfilmfestival.com/
I've volunteered there this year & last. The guy who run it also operates Lurker Films, which specializes in HPL adaptations and other weird stories.

Yeah, the filmmakers brought footage of the Cthulhu flick in progress to the festival last night. I think they're still working on it in Astoria.

they had an adaptation of "Dream of the Witch House" in that Masters of terror thing. It was OK

I kinda wish that more of thoes Master of Horror thing had a standalone appeal, like the "Homecoming" ep(zombie vets from Iraq return to vote).

Yeah, the best part is the early creepy part, but Dagon quickly devolves into crap.
Ironically, Re-animator, which is about 80% black comedy, is the best Lovecraft adapt so far.

BBC Radio 3 did a bio thing on HPL, available for this week
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/sundayfeature/pip/96knh/
Weird Tales: The Strange Life of HP Lovecraft Listen to this episode for up to 7 days after broadcast
Sunday 10 June 2007 20:00-20:45 (Radio 3)
Geoff Ward examines the strange life and terrifying world of the man hailed as America's greatest horror writer since Poe.
During his life, Lovecraft's work was confined to lurid pulp magazines and he died in penury in 1937. Today, however, his writings are considered modern classics and published in prestigious editions. How did such a weird, wild and ungodly writer get canonised? Among the writers considering his legacy are Neil Gaiman, ST Joshi, Kelly Link, Peter Straub and China Mieville. Duration:
45 minutes

Good cast of usual suspects (unfamiliar with Link, though) -- no Clive Barker? Then again Ramsay Campbell would be even more appropriate for a UK-based documentary.

> no Clive Barker? Then again Ramsay Campbell would be even more appropriate for a UK-based documentary.
this is an odd thing to say given that both barker and campbell were born in the same town 8)
was surprised to see campbell is still writing - haven't seen anything of his on bookshelves for years (haven't been looking that hard tbh). last thing i read of his was Dark Feasts ('87) (ditto Barker and Cabal in '88)

No Mark E. Smith!
― Tom D., Monday, 11 June 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link
Amazing! (I meant more that Campbell still lives/works in the UK, is all.) But Dadaismus is right most of all; MES on HPL could be endlessly listened to.

I recall his cameo as being one of the more amusing bits of the Planetary/Authority crossover.
