I hope it's okay to post some shameless self promotion here, but I do think this is appropriate to the group as the novel is heavily influenced by Lovecraft.

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

It's definitely not going to happen, for now.  GDL is now working on a different monster flick titled "Pacific Rim".

Wow, we have some crazy talented people hanging about.

Fubar, this is great.  Thanks for spreading the word.  I should try to think of some way to contribute.

Agreed.  I hope the highlights aren't contained within the trailer.  Although, I did chuckle when guy is being chased and he gets winded after about 40 yards...

I wasn't even aware this existed.

What do you guys think?

Here's the youtube link.

I just read The Shunned House.  It's kind of a ghost story.

Thanks,

I was mostly just curious as I know a lot of his contemporaries and those that came before him (not necessarily influences) wrote a great deal of ghost stories.

I will definitely look at some of the suggested stories in this thread, so thanks a lot.

Question:  Did HPL ever write a straight ghost story?  If not what would be the closest thing to a ghost story?

That was awesome.  Especially, the unnamable horror.

Are you saying it wouldn't be mostly guys playing??

I don't think HPL's Cosmic Indifference is a metaphor for anything.  I could be wrong but I think HPL really understood the cosmos could swallow our insignificant asses and not even realize it, even if we assume it had some agency.  Just my opinion.

Yes.  In my humble opinion.
