H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential writers of horror fiction in history, creating the Cthulhu Mythos . In the early 1900's his pulp style and fascination with the cosmic unknown, created monsters and creatures of unimaginable origins. His stories often contained deep psychosis and paranoid madness and presented ideas that could be hard to put to film. Despite the challenges, his work is too rich and powerful to ignore and we have seen successful films born from his work. Jerry and Matt look at two such examples with "In the Mouth of Madness" from 1994 and 2023's "Suitable Flesh".
