    The Thing (1982)

     
    Cosmic horror. An alien creature / monstrosity completely unlike anything ever seen on Earth. Brought to life by some incredible practical effects. Excellent film.
  2. 2.

    Alien (1979)

     
    Cosmic horror. A nightmarish alien being beyond anything humanity has encountered before is discovered on a crashed, alien spaceship. A lot of Lovecraft in this film. Visually striking and very tense …
  3. 3.

    Twin Peaks (1990)

     
    Strange goings on in a small town Very odd TV series that has that hallmark Lovecraft premise of 'an outsider encounters strange, dark secrets being harboured in a small town'
