I can answer this one. There were three just in the last year or two:
(1) Some guys in L.A. made an excellent period adaption of CoC. Silent, B&W.

(2) Also, a short film called Experiment 17. A fake docu about what happened when the Wehrmacht found a copy of the Necromicon after they raided the Bibliotheque Nationale.
(3) Late Bloomer, a short based on Clay McLoed Chapman's monologue where a 7th grade sex-ed class goes insane after learning forbidden knowledge.

Unless The GZeus is younger than 5, it's almost certain that Stuart Gordon's Dagon came out in his lifetime as well. Bryan Moore's take on Cool Air is pretty damn good, as is Christian Matzke's Nyarlathotep (and his Imperfect Solution).

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.
