I disagree. There are tons of "literary jumpscares" in "At the Mountain of Madness", one of my very favorite of his works (though he didn't care for it at all). You can also find them is such place as the trapped in the hotel part of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".
@@sam21462 I think he means that when you are reading, you are building up the tension(a movie can also do that) and then it slowly shows you the "jumpscare" but it is slowly, at the same pace the reading is building up the tension. A movie however, uses sounds, music and visuals to build the tension up but it runs everything with a jumpscare, is not the same thing, the horror must be constant, and it can keep you that way the whole movie giving you an awesome experience.
the horror anthology necronomicon from 1993 the third segment freaked me the hell out namely the scene where the female cop finds out what happened to her partner near the end.
Thanks for another great video Jack, I can't get enough of your hosting abilities you're always brilliant.!! Until next time, keep up the great work.!!!
I am a HUGE fan of EVERYTHING Lovecraft, I found John Carpenter's The Thing as a teenager and had to delve deeper into the original material. Ive read or listened to just about everything by HP Lovecraft, and I cannot help but find connections to MANY modern movies and shows. Keep up the good work, cheers.
@@Zanderpan I would not think so no. I have the special collectors edition of Event Horizon, I have seen the entire making-of, including deleted material. Never do they mention that this was even inspired by WH40k (if memory serves me right). It is a fun theory though, and one that actually fits. I believe Mateus Magaldi was being ironic.
I thought that The Mist, movie not the series, is very lovecraftian :) And while it is not a movie, I am also fascinated by Dead Space :) Oh, and speaking of lovecraftian video games, Song of Saya is a visuel novel that will make your skin crawl :)
@@SwouperMan Lovecraftian also refers to the kind of horror in a story, or inspiration for a story. The Mist, Dead Space, among a few others are very Lovecraftian. The Old Gods in WoW, or the Chaos Gods in Warhammer 40k are Lovecraftian.
JACK FINCH !!! LOOOOOOOL !! I heard you so many times over on Lifes Biggest Questions. :D So funny to suddenly see you hahaha. BEST SUPERNATURAL STUFF NARRATOR
Never heard of Black Mountainside so now I have something to look forward to checking out. (Netflix?) Event Horizon is fun but the ending was quite a let down after all the first two acts promised. I would have put Into The Mouth Of Madness on the list but the fact that you took the time to make a list is awesome. Cheers.
Hey Jack love the toque....canuck here we come. Gosh favorite horror movie that's a loaded question for a geek horrorbuff....so I cant answer. I've seen all the movies you mentioned and you picked really great movies. I think the the thing is better than From beyond. I loved Castle freak but not so much the former. It's just personal preference I guess. Loved the video...cosmic horror is really great as was your video and this channel xo
Nice hat! It’s my favourite colour. Back on topic another great video. I think my favourite horror film has to be either The conjuring 2 for the nun or The Others as I think that it is a really good ghost story.
Good list - appreciate you including a couple lesser known films (Banshee Chapter, Black Mountain Side” both of which I haven’t seen & can’t wait to watch! I do think “Dagon”, “lIn The Mouth of Madness”, “The Whisperer in Darkness” & “The Dunwich Horror” (1970) should be on this list - or a list. Perhaps on “Another Top 5 Lovecraftian Horror Movies” video should be in your “to-do” queue. There are just too many good ones.to limit into a single Top 5 list. Cheers!
Yep! Dean Stockwell and Sandra Dee : (1970). Loved it as a child on TV, but I had to wait until I was 16 in '85 to get an uncensored VHS copy! For some reason, this film always seemed to very much like an extra-long, Night Gallery episode to me. Probably because I was frightened by both when I first began watching Horror on TV at around age 4, in '73!
@@stanleyjedrzejczyk2966 Movies tended to be longer back then. The studios figured if they could shorten the movies, dump the news reels and cartoons. They could offer another viewing during "prime time."
No way, just watched another channels take on cosmic horror and thought I'd watch yours as I was trying to remember one from a few years back with The Ring type scares in it. Low and behold straight in at 5 it's there, I knew you wouldn't let me down Jack.
Re Animator is one of the best sci-fi movies during the eightie along with a John Carpenter's The Thing .Usually during the 80s everybody just wanted to see Freddy and Jason and Sleepaway Camp and Alien. but people that really enjoy sci-fi and Lovecraft were thrilled .I'm a child of the eighties I'm happy to see that in this time peoplestill. love different types of sci-fi genre thanks again. Love your site I subscribed.
thank you for introducing me to the banshee movie! im always looking for good lovcraftian horror movies and found footage movies. Its my favourite genre.
Excellent selection although I probably would have replaced "Event Horizon" with "The Void". "Event Horizon" was good but I didn't think it wasn't quite as Lovecraftian as it should have been, based on the subject matter, whereas "The Void" was full tilt bozo and non-stop intense. Real happy to see "Banshee Chapter" here. I really like this channel, btw. You guys have an excellent sense of what real horror is. I'm in my 60's and a horror fan since I was a kid. I still consider "The Haunting [1963]" one of the scariest movies ever made. It's nice to run into a group that has that knack of finding the truly horrific things that stray from the beaten path and may not necessarily be acknowledged in this day of mass market jump scares. Kudos and I'll be hanging around awhile.
Hey Jack. My first comment, though I've been watching the show for quite a while now. Leave it to Lovecraft to drag me out of the abyss! Between Parts 1 and 2, you've pretty much nailed my top 5, but not quite. In the Mouth of Madness, The Endless, Event Horizon, and John Carpenter's The Thing are all there, but I'd have to include Dagon up there as well. After all, there's got to be at least One Real Lovecraft adaptation that makes the Top Five, and Dagon's The One for me, though Necronomicon comes real close. Cheers!
Glad to see Event Horizon finally getting its due deserved credit. Its always terrified the hell out of me as a kid and it still inspires a feeling of dread and foreboding even now when I watch it.
Love Event Horizon, Re-Animator and From Beyond. They are absolute classics and of I love H.P. Lovecraft, I'm currently reading At The Mountains Of Madness. Awesome video, keep up the amazing work. Plus I met Jeffrey Combs at Destination Star Trek last year in Birmingham and greeted him with the line "Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow." of course as you know is from Re-Animator.
Man, great video! A lot of good information. I'm a videomaker here in Brazil and your video helps me a lot to know about Lovecraftian films I didn't know. I just think that the parts in wich you are, that chroma scene with you, are very dry in color. All the other parts of the video are awesome, but the chroma scneario has no living colors or so, and so, you are very nom-dramatic,non-horror chroma, in the begining. But the rest are very nice
The Thing was not inspired by Lovecraft. That is a massive albeit common misconception. If anyone had done their homework it was an adaptation to the story "Who goes there?" By John W Campbell. Carpenter has mentioned this on several occasions.
if there was a uncut and unrated version of event horizon featuring all the lost disturbing scenes and gore it would a worth returning to this and watch again
I can never make up my mind as to what my favorite horror movie is. There are just too many good ones out there. But, if I had to make a top 5 list is would be these lovely gems (not in any particular order); Nightbreed Directors Cut, Exorcist III - Legion, Return of the Living Dead, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes (Both versions are great).
My favorite horror film of all time is Return of the Living Dead: I can't help it, I love that movie. It's great. Event Horizon is a *fantastic* film, though, and Reanimator is right up there in my favorites with the first Hellraiser and The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.
No Cthulhu on this list? If you've not seen the 2007 movie Cthulhu directed by Dan Gildark, I highly recommend checking it out. It's a relatively unknown and pretty low budget ($750,000 at a time when the average feature length movie budget was around $100 mil.) movie, but I honestly feel like the way the movie is pieced together plays on the low budget aspect to keep things just as vague and eerie as the general vibe of "unknown" in Lovecraft's stories. It's on youtube for free- Uploaded by the director himself. If anyone else watches it, or has seen it before, let me know what you think!
Personally I prefer the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society 2005 silent film The Call of Cthulhu which was pretty much done on a shoestring budget but is still a memorable work of stop motion animation. I love the faithfulness of the story as well as the basic conception of what if Meriam C. Cooper and Willis O'Brian had decided to create a Lovecraft movie adaptation instead of King Kong?
Event Horizon is in my top 10-15 favorite films , and I have seen hundreds maybe maybe even a few thousand films in my life time. The look and design of the ship is the thing I love about the movie the most.
One of my favorite Lovecraftian movies is The Haunted Palace from 1963. Starring the unmatched Vincent Price, this movie is based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Also one of my fave stories. This one might be a little overlooked but I think it's worth a watch.
Good list. I recently saw Cthulhu which is a great adaptation of the shadow over innsmoth. I give it a 9. You mentioned Dagon which isn't about the story dagon, but is another great adaption of the shadow over innsmouth, Both the thing and it's remake are remarkablely good, while not being a love craft story persay they are by definition cosmic horror at it's best. I could go on. But I think I covered it. Oh and Mad props to Jeffery Combs for make it in your list multiple times.
Have you seen the Danny Boyle film Sunshine (2007)? I don't think it's actually a Lovecraftian film, but I thought it was somewhat reminiscent.... what are your thoughts?
Fantastic Vid 👍 I do like sceary film that have a phycological feel to them, that speak to our basic instincts 👍😎 Re-Animator was a real good film for it's time bt the second film just got way to silly 😕
I think I remember John dies at the end. That was one of the strangest movies I've seen in recent times. It's the one where they take a drug that manifests beings from another dimension and talks to his dead friend on a hotdog cellphone righ?
It's well documented that Lovecraft hated the early horror movies and was ruthlessly against his works being made into film. Maybe had he lived a little longer he would've grown to appreciate them and change his mind but I doubt he would've approved of any of these movies like you said he would.
It's nice that you got a thing for the arctic, too bad that "At the mountains of madness" takes place in antarctica. So on the other side of the planet...
I remember the first time I watched Reanimator and From Beyond back to back with my high school friends. They were some of the very first horror movies I ever saw and began my long descent into the mad world of H.P. Lovecraft and all things horror.
knew of 3 out of 5 but now really want to see the number 2 because I love mountains of madness myself. But where movies have kinda lacked in lovecraftian horror I'm glad as a gamer that the gaming industry has made quite a few gems, especially now that they've made a legit call of Cthulhu game, though my personal all time favorite will eternally be Bloodborne.
80s horror movies and early 90s horror are hands down the best. Those were the times when horror Started too top the charts. Now horror is probably the number one genre of movies. That time period I think paved the way and innovated alot of people to horror
Omg!!! I was wondering if there were any Awesome movies like these!!! Since watching"Demons" and all that cool creepy handmade effects (NO CGI CRAP) I've been looking for another like it. THANK YOU THANK YOU TOP 5 SCARY VIDEOS ♥️!!! YAAAAAAS! 👍👍👍🤗
oh you forgot at least two movies one literally had gordon playing lovecraft and another was an amalgamation of short stories that interconnected and one of those short stories was literal lovecraft themed to the bone
Wild guess someone might of put together a sketchbook journal of realms unknown and other things that could be added to some of Lovecraft work in someway. The movie at number 3 I've seen, the only one I've seen on the list all the way threw an have on DVD. Re - Animater I've heard of an seen once or twice on tv. Just wondering if the 1993 movie Necronomicon has made it to any of the list movies? Not sure how I managed to get that one on VHS in my collection of movie, but yea the movie Necronomicon I do have on VHS.
going back a bit here but some of the cosmic horror slipped into movies like "The Crawling Eye" and "The Creeping Flesh" and in a more modern vein "The Descent" does a good job of channeling Lovecraft's "The lurking Fear". But to the question of a favorite horror film, it is more of an era thing, classic Universal "Werewolf of London" , Hammer era "Brides of Dracula", television era "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" followed by "The Night Stalker", 80's (including late 70's) and beyond "Halloween" (original), "Alien" and "An American Werewolf in London"
Though Lovecraft popularized it, (several decades after his death,) Algernon Blackwood is the actual Grandfather of Cosmic horror. The Willows, in particular, was a big influence on Lovecraft's own writing, and is a pretty creepy story to boot.

In the Mouth Madness!!!!
I know this is childish but that sounds oddly inappropriate
Yeah, I'd go with this one, for sure.
_In The Mouth Of Madness_ indeed. Probably my favorite Lovecraft-inspired horror movie. And it's also got Sam Neill.
I agree
NO !
the horror anthology necronomicon from 1993 the third segment freaked me the hell out namely the scene where the female cop finds out what happened to her partner near the end.
Is called Whispers. That movie is awesome. One of the favourite pieces of my colection

The Whisperer in Darkness is a pretty good one too. kinda old school style but from 2011
I'm ok for this :)
I feel like they kinda ruined it with the ending though, but pretty good up until then. They did a Call of Cthulhu in the same style.
Event Horizon my favorite 40k movie.

Very Slaneesh.
@@CashelOConnolly No, he means 40k. As in Warhammer 40.000. 4k would be what, his favorite 4000 movie? WTF is that!?

I found out about Black Mountain Side purely because of this video.... I haven’t loved something that much in ages. Thank you.
Banshee Chapter was really cool. Ted Levine was doing Hunter Thomson trapped in a Lovecraft short story.
I thought that The Mist, movie not the series, is very lovecraftian :) And while it is not a movie, I am also fascinated by Dead Space :)
Oh, and speaking of lovecraftian video games, Song of Saya is a visuel novel that will make your skin crawl :)

My mom and I were expecting a scifi, but Even Horizon scared us in the theater.
I loved it.
The 2005 call of cthulhu silent film is great and the whisperer in darkness adaptation is also amazing!
I saw re-animator when I was 7 and I remember that movie vividly.lol
I gotta see these movies.
may I suggest the Reanimator, but don't eat anything while watching this movie. Hello!😰
@@Zeldarw104 I was just about to say that, but eating while watching Reanimator isn't a problem for me, lol.
knew of 3 out of 5 but now really want to see the number 2 because I love mountains of madness myself. But where movies have kinda lacked in lovecraftian horror I'm glad as a gamer that the gaming industry has made quite a few gems, especially now that they've made a legit call of Cthulhu game, though my personal all time favorite will eternally be Bloodborne.
I feel bad for the cat in Reanimator! 😹
The movie sphere Seems like a lovecraft type of movie. I love that one
I got the Lovecraft feels from 2017's "Devils Gate"
80s horror movies and early 90s horror are hands down the best. Those were the times when horror Started too top the charts. Now horror is probably the number one genre of movies. That time period I think paved the way and innovated alot of people to horror
Omg!!! I was wondering if there were any Awesome movies like these!!! Since watching"Demons" and all that cool creepy handmade effects (NO CGI CRAP) I've been looking for another like it. THANK YOU THANK YOU TOP 5 SCARY VIDEOS ♥️!!!
YAAAAAAS! 👍👍👍🤗
In the Mouth of Madness. That is all.
Re-Animator is one of my favorite films!
Going to do Indi, but skip the HPLHS? "Call of Cthulhu"? "The Whisperer in Darkness"?
Whatever became of "The Resurrected"?
Dagon? :D I also loved The Whisperer in Darkness from the HPLHS
Castle Freak based on "The Outsider" story, I love that film
oh you forgot at least two movies one literally had gordon playing lovecraft and another was an amalgamation of short stories that interconnected and one of those short stories was literal lovecraft themed to the bone
Wild guess someone might of put together a sketchbook journal of realms unknown and other things that could be added to some of Lovecraft work in someway. The movie at number 3 I've seen, the only one I've seen on the list all the way threw an have on DVD. Re - Animater I've heard of an seen once or twice on tv. Just wondering if the 1993 movie Necronomicon has made it to any of the list movies? Not sure how I managed to get that one on VHS in my collection of movie, but yea the movie Necronomicon I do have on VHS.
going back a bit here but some of the cosmic horror slipped into movies like "The Crawling Eye" and "The Creeping Flesh" and in a more modern vein "The Descent" does a good job of channeling Lovecraft's "The lurking Fear". But to the question of a favorite horror film, it is more of an era thing, classic Universal "Werewolf of London" , Hammer era "Brides of Dracula", television era "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" followed by "The Night Stalker", 80's (including late 70's) and beyond "Halloween" (original), "Alien" and "An American Werewolf in London"
Nice call out to Banshee Chapter! Ted Levine's greatest role since Silence of the Lambs
You have good taste in Lovecraft stories
Though Lovecraft popularized it, (several decades after his death,) Algernon Blackwood is the actual Grandfather of Cosmic horror. The Willows, in particular, was a big influence on Lovecraft's own writing, and is a pretty creepy story to boot.
Have a look at bird box. Doesn’t say what the antagonist is but definitely has a lovecraftian feel
The Void is one of the best new films inspired by H.P.Lovecraft. A perfect film of elder gods and cosmic horror.
In the mouth of madness. My favorite.
