Necronomicon poster art
The horror genre is no stranger to H.P. Lovecraft adaptations. The Dunwich Horror from 1970 centered on the author’s fictional Miskatonic University and the infamous Necronomicon book, a now-integral item in the genre. It wasn’t until the 1980s that cosmic horror started coming into its own with genre classics such as Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator and From Beyond. These loose Lovecraft retellings boldly interpreted the source material both thematically and visually.
Lovecraft stories can be precarious to adapt, as so much relies on the reader’s personal interpretations of the"unknown." Despite this, each director brought enthusiasm for cosmic horror to the Necronomicon set. They interpreted all these eldritch components and unnatural entities with measured flair, never losing the essence of their origins. Each story emanates dread, staying true to cosmic horror motifs like forbidden knowledge and mental anguish.
