Guillermo Del Toro tried to get this made some years ago but the deal fell through.
Looks like it was only released in the UK.
I’m pretty sure they will discover that climate change is primarily fueled by shoggoth farts.

Not unusual. I’m surprised it wasn’t just in China....................
I have yet to see a film adaptation of Lovecraft’s stories that wasn’t terrible. Hopefully thus will break the trend.
A while back saw a pretty entertaining Lovecraftian ice monster tale complete with evil Santa’s elves:

What a frightful story that was. I was 11 and books were my world. Doc Savage, R.E. Howard and H.P.
The classics, too. The joys of living in a free country where you can read and watch what you wanted. I loved it.
“climate change”
Enough to make me not bother. Their “mountains of madness” will probably be a secret Trump rally.
I read Lovecraft, Poe and Asimov as a teenager in the late 60’s.................
Have you seen the silent movies from the h.p. lovecraft historical society? I think they are pretty decent for what they are. I’ve seen the call of c. and whisperer in darkness.

I certainly hope so................
My 16yo daughter just joined the H.P. Lovecraft historical society! I will definitely ask if she knows/has seen about the movies. We’ve been listening to the audio books on the way to school ;)
Same here.
Wow, that’s awesome! They seem like they really put a lot of heart into it from what I have seen. Their Call of C. could pretty much pass as a silent movie from the 20s.

As soon as they brought up climate change that killed it for me.
I just got back into reading Lovecraft, been since I was a teenager
I read the mountains of madness last week
I just finished it yesterday.
The ‘climate change’ is just the device to explain what they were doing in Antarctica..
What a frightful story that was. I was 11 and books were my world.

H.P.Lovecraft made Edgar Allen Poe’s books seem quite normal and cheery in comparison.
