WORLDS OF H.P. LOVECRAFT

    The creator of the Cthulhu Mythos...

...and the Necronomicon...

...who defined supernatural horror in literature...

H.P. Lovecraft

Considered the father of the horror story, H.P. Lovecraft created an incredible matrix of pagan deities and brought them into the worlds of imagination and horror. He brought the dark evils with the mind's imagination and gave them a name.  He took unimaginable horrors and put them into our world.

And he scared the hell out of us.

The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft is a series that explores the worlds that Lovecraft created, worlds that continue to fear and provide entertainment all over the planet. Talk to the great masters of horror...Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and others.  They will all pay homage to the Master, H.P. Lovecraft.

Brief description: A series of stories adapting and incorporating the elements of stories created by H.P. Lovecraft.

Key Elements: Horror at its very core.  Lovecraft is considered the father of horror.  Although Poe is considered the founder of the modern horror short story, it was Lovecraft who defined the genre that continues today.  Demons, monsters, and unspeakable evil were all part of Lovecraft's creations.

Association: Many of the elements of X-Files were taken from Lovecraft as were the monsters from series such as Kolchak the Night Stalker.

Format: Caliber adapted some of Lovecraft's classic short stories and working to launch a Cthullu series as well.  Ten issues were released to favorable reviews.

Additional: The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft has enormous potential.  Working best as a television series, each story could stand alone as self contained horror mini-movies.  However, Lovecraft's stories deal with many of the same themes and the use of supporting characters weaving through out the stories would give an anchor.
