For those of you who know who H.P. Lovecraft is, this is the best homage to his work. None of it is off a direct story, but it is a well made scary movie that uses a lot of Lovecraftian elements. Oh, and if any body asks you if you like Sutter Kane, the answer is YES!
I would easily rate Lovecraft and Virginia Wolfe as the scariest authors in the history of the English language.
And even though no one would consider him a “classic” author, Steven King had some pretty chilling stuff...
