LOL!
The gentleman I was referring too wrt special effects is Tom Sullivan. He did the special effects for Evil Dead and if you ever get to see his museum of the dead at a horror movie convention, he’ll have copies of his artwork for “Cry of Cthulhu” available for viewing and/or purchase. Some really cool stuff in that 70s Heavy Metal kind of way.
Here’s an example from his website

Also from his website:
“I met some aspiring filmmakers in Jackson Michigan and did some Posters, Paintings and Sculptures to help promote their movie that was never made called “The Cry of Cthulhu”. We did get some attention from Cinefantastique and Starlog and both published my art with their articles.”
Cool, thanks for the link.
If I am remembering things correctly the illustration on the second page was used as the cover for a “Call of Cthulhu” RPG adventure.
I love that movie. Part of it is childhood nostalgia (my parents took us to see it at the drive-in when I was about 10) but I think it really holds up.
Btw, BrainGlutton, I have that Heavy Metal issue somewhere!
From Beyond sucked, but MAN, did Barbara Crampton look HOT when she she got her freak on!
Papa like!
2003, hmm? "That is not dead which can eternal lie . . . ", indeed.
At least this zombie returned from the dead with new insight 
It’d make a cool Tim Burton movie…
Of course, in the strange aeons, a movie with some correspondence to what **BrainGlutton **wanted has been made–I refer to The Call of Cthulhu, a silent movie made in 2005 to look like a movie made in the earlies. It is surprisingly well-done, thought the SFX for Cthulhu are appropriately terrible. I don’t know that the racial prejudice really comes through, though.
NOOOOO!!! Cthulhu can awaken, I guess, but please, just let Tim Burton lie dormant for a while…
Apparently, DreadCthulhu has been banned. I would not have thought the moderator’s powers extended that far…
That is not banned which can eternal lurk;
And in strange eons, the mods may well unban that jerk.
I was the producer of the film project titled, “The Cry of Cthulhu.” Unfortunately, after years of work on the project, it never came to fruition due to budgeting restraints. However, the novelization of the screenplay is available at Amazon @ Amazon.com

Please note that this is a 13-year-old thread.
Not that I remember. The genius of making it as if it were a Thirties movie is that we expect it to be low-budget and cheesy, but fun. And it is!
The HPL Historical Society has some other good multimedia mythos-related stuff, too: http://www.cthulhulives.org/HPLHSPress/PressIndex.html
Why does (SDMB guest) MineFujiko 's name appear in it’s own font for me? It’s not a clickable handle…
No one ever finds out the truth behind Mine Fujiko.
I assume (now that I think about it) that that user’s account data got lost in some server merge.
Ah, I really liked that movie. Saw it when it was new, but forgot the name.
I’ve seen Dagon in the years since replying to this thread, and I thought it was pretty good. It may not have been a perfectly-faithful adaptation of the book, but it definitely had the right tone and was generally well executed.
It’s not a movie, but the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ album The Shadow Out of Tim is the best Lovecraft-inspired work I’ve experienced in recent memory. It’s a labor of love which also happens to rock really hard.
