TRADE PAPERBACK [2011] FALL RIVER PRESS

 Some soiling to exterior text block.  Otherwise excellent and reads like new. 

With more than 100 movies based on his writing, H.P. Lovecraft ranks among the most adapted authors in history--along with Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King.  His unnervingly scary tales appeal to both diehard fans of horror and readers with mainstream tastes, and H.P. Lovecraft Goes to the Movies presents the very best of his filmed stories. Additionally, this unique collection provides an enlightening historical introduction, short headnotes for each story calling out interesting trivia, and an appendix with credits for each screen version.
 
THE STORIES INCLUDE:
"The Colour out of Space": filmed twice, once as a vehicle for Boris Karloff called Die, Monster, Die!
"The Dunwich Horror," also filmed two times, once with Dean Stockwell
"Pickman's Model" and "Cool Air": both for Rod Serling's Night Gallery TV program
"The Call of Cthulhu," which laid the foundation for the Cthulhu Mythos
