I'd rather recommend the collection of short stories in the movie about Necronomicon (I think this is the movie's name too, but not sure). From Beyond is somewhat advanced.

Oh, Dagon was pretty good.

The game Dark Corners Of The Earth is very good for the feel, too.

If you can get hold of the silent film of The Call of Cthulhu (filmed within the past decade, I think, but in a classic 20s style), it's quite well made.

Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror (with Dean Stockwell for bonus points!) and a few of the HP Lovecraft collection of shorts are all on Netflix instant. Cool Air and Rough Magik Initiative are both soon leaving instant play, but I found them both to be pretty weak anyway.

No no no no! Dean Stockwell trying to sacrifice _Sandra Dee_ to a Thing Man Was Not Meant To Know.

"Dagon" by the same director is actually a very well done adaptation of Shadows over Innsmouth. Higher budget too.

Del Torro's At the Mountains of Madness promises to be a faithful big-budget adaptation of the novel.

Yes, I'm quite excited for this one.

Yep, I am looking forward to it as well.

Del Torro had a couple of Old Ones wandering about at the Goblin Market in Hellboy 2
