I agree.

Zelazny and Bester are two other authors I'd love to see on screen but they are almost impossible to translate...though amber would work now in an HBO series style.

But Zelazny's estate won't allow his work to be adapted after the abortion that was Damnation Alley.

ETA you would think with cthulu being such a pop culture phenomenon wed see something though.

About 10 months ago I almost started a treatment on it. Like many writing projects, it just never got rolling.

Cthulu is such a weird phenomena, certainly not like anything else out there. People know it, but don't really know. Fans don't really engage in it on any level because they can't. It's such a tough mythos because the authors who still interact with it aren't really well known. Clive Barker doesn't put out enough stuff anymore, and he was the best bet at bringing Cthulu into the modern age.

But the board game has been enormously popular for Cthulu fans and non Cthulu fans. For good reason.

It just irritates me. Every horror movie with even a hint of the fantastic is heavily influenced by HP from alien to event horizon. The lurker in the dark is there, but no true translations of his story.

Is it because of his reputation as an anti-semite? Even though he married a jewess?
