When it comes to classic horror H.P. Lovecraft rules supreme. Tales of maddening confusion, unimaginable horror, and disturbing imagery, whether you love him or hate him there are very little storytellers like Lovecraft. However, it is not surprising that there has yet to be a Lovecraftian film adaptation.


However, it appears that this may well change in coming years. Deadline reports today that veteran fantasy horror director Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) plans to adapt Lovecraft's most famous tale At the Mountains of Madness. Oscar winning director James Cameron will also assist in providing technical support, and apparently 3D effects. Del Toro will also write the script along with Matthew Robbins (Mimic). Even though Del Toro is incredibly excited for the film, and is passionate about the project, he still expresses concern for how the film will perform: "It's R-rated and it's expensive and it doesn't have a happy ending."

As reported last month, Dreamworks Pictures plans to create a film adaptation of Pioneer Press's popular strategy game Monsterpocalypse. Despite scheduling conflicts with Burton's other project Dark Shadows , a revival of a 1960's vampire soap opera (yes this stuff existed before twilight, the search has already begun for a writer. According to Heat Vision, Burton will work with long time creative partner John August, writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Corpse Bride, and Big Fish. No decision has been officially made regarding Burton's other commitments, but chances are we will be seeing a new rise of giant monster films in the years to come.

Happy Memorial Day everyone! No, there are no peppy army videos this week. Even though its oddly fitting. There is not much of a theme at all for this installment. Just a lot of very strange stuff. If you like teleprompters, Lovecraft, and The Mighty Boosh then you will probably enjoy this episode. If not....well...go somewhere else.

Who knew that HP Lovecraft's stories could be so cute and cuddly? Perhaps a better question is what would the writer think of his horrific creations presented in such a fashion?
