I am ashamed to say I haven't read much Lovecraft at all. Been meaning to for years. It's not one of his better ones but I was creeped out by Under the Pyramids.

Oh... that's tough...
I've read them all at least twice.  Case of Charles Dexter Ward is up there. The Shadow over Innsmouth, obviously. Nyarlathotep <- also my favorite HPL diety. The Haunter of the Dark ... I also recommend reading stuff from Robert Bloch and Clark Ashton Smith, if you like HPL. |

The Rats in the Walls
The Haunter of the Dark The Colour Out of Space The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath The Shadow over Innsmouth The Case of Charles Dexter Ward The Lurking Fear At the Mountains of Madness I have the full collection and have probably read them all a dozen times over however the above I think are my favorites. The collaboration with August Derleth, The Lurker at the Threshhold is also a great story. |

The written story is (obiously) better. Film is not the best medium for Lovecraft stuff, but there are better attempts than others. The Reanimator is also notable! |

On a different tack, in the forward of one of Robert E Howard's "Conan" books, there is report of a discussion between Robert E Howard and H. P. Lovecraft, in the early 1930s, about whether "modern" civilization would ever be brought down by barbarism, (as in barbaric behavior) which I found fascinating. The conclusion, IIRC, was that barbarism would ultimately triumph. This begins to sound a bit too familiar.
