Thanks gandalf! I'll add it to the list. I'm a bit confused because that page and IMDB say it's from 2006 but everywhere else, including Rotten Tomatoes and Wikipedia, say it's from 2013.
As I said in my list description: "Short films (30 minutes or less) are not included." I'll check out those two shorts you listed and see if they qualify.

Castle Freak is very loose.
I think the 30min limit is set too high. After all Lovecraft wrote short fiction
Thank you for the comments! I have not personally watched Castle Freak yet. Its inclusion on this list is based on reviews / comments I found on other sites. My intent with this list was to capture films that were direct adaptations of Lovecraft stories, rather than films that were just "Lovecraftian" in nature, or films that used the name of a story but had nothing to do with the source material.
Do you think Castle Freak meets this inclusion criteria? If not, just leave a comment saying so, and I will remove it! Thanks for helping to make the list better!
Regarding the 30 minute threshold: I hear you, and your opinion is valid. It is an arbitrary criteria I chose. But, I don't intend to change it for this personal list. I originally wanted to just chronicle the feature film adaptations, but then there were things like TV Movies which were tougher to categorize, so I eventually just picked the 30 minute cutoff. There are a lots and lots of shorts, and I find them more difficult to "manage" than longer films. It'd be great to see the shorts on a separate icheckmovies list though! Either a list of just the shorts, or a list that combines my list + the shorts together. Please post it here if you make a list like that, or if someone else chooses to. I'd love to see it!

Here's a few that were inspired by Lovecraft:
Dirt Dauber
Portal to Hell (2015
Thank you for the suggestions! Per the list description:
quote:
Films that were loosely inspired by Lovecraft and films that just contain Lovecraftian themes are not included. Short films (30 minutes or less) are not included.
Two of the films you suggested met the criteria: Pickman's Model (1981) and The Music Of Eric Zann (2009)
Ops. Those shorts are both under 30 min. My bad for not reading before commenting. Cool air is on youtube and it looks a lot more 06 than 13.. Imdb also has 2013 as release date, so I guess it got delayed or some reason.
