H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

This is the first half of the Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror script that covers an intro to the genre, a bit about H.P. Lovecraft himself, his writing, a discussion on adapting his works to the screen, and of course going over all of the film adaptations of his work (that I could manage to get my hands on), and then ends with a short segment on short films both adapting lovecraft, and original lovecraftian works.
