The other day, I posted a list of fan-created Lovecraftian movies that are on Youtube.  After that, I realized that there are quite a few studio movies on Youtube, free to watch, as well.  Most of these didn’t make my “Best Lovecraftian-themed movies” list, but I enjoyed them, in a B movie sort of way.

Watch them below!  As always, if I’ve missed any, please let me know by commenting below.

(Check out my list of recommended Lovecraftian movies here.  Watch fan-created Lovecraftian movies here.)
