The majority of it is still in copyright, yes.  However, using 75 years as the
standard term, the rights on various stories are due to expire soon.

No, I don't have a list of what expires when, but I suspect the impending
expiration of the copyright was what motivated Arkham House to publish S. T.
Joshi's definitive editions of HPL.  New edition = new story = new copyright.

I also bet that someone [something??]  ownes the copyright  to the HPL
mythos, considering that in the early '80s TSR [people who brought you
D&D and AD&D] was sued by someone for including  the Cthulhu mythos in
their Deities and Demigods cyclopedia.  They  removed said mythos from
versions of the cyclopedia that followed.  [As an aside: TSR  was also
forced to remove the Melnibonean mythos (Elric and  Stormbringer) when
they removed the Cthulhu mythos.]

Has anyone heard of Ralph Adam Cram who wrote a collection of short
stories called "Spirits Black and White", privately published around
1920. He was an ecclesiastical architect and fathered the American Gothic 
Revival Movement in church architecture. He belonged to something
called the Manhattan Club.

I'm also curious about the supernatural writings of Robert Aickman
and Thomas Liggotti.

I'd appreciate any bibliographic references on the writings of these 
three gentlemen.

We're abysmal creatures, with gross horrific features.
In C'thuloid adventures, lose alot of sanity.
So here's Miskatonic U. where all the creatures dwell,
take a look at a mythos book and find yourself in hell.
Your guns aren't defective, they just aren't real effective.
Our feast of human flesh and souls is about to start.
Your magic, and voodo will not stop Great C'thulhu.
Don't eat with the Tchoo Tchoo, and the Migo steal your brain!
Here's Narly, Tsathoggua, over there's Cthugha,
don't forget Ithaqua, and Hastur hates his name.
So here's sunken R'lyeh where the angles are all wrong.
You'll lose your soul, and go insane if you stay there too long.

And now we'll eat your heart.

Shoggoth that is, Elder Thing goo, R'lyeh tea.
Well next thing you know 'ole fred got swallowed whole, 
the other migo turned and said "That thing just got fred's soul!"

But the shoggoth ate them one and all in record setting time..

I say unto you, that there be but one objector to the accursed Net-ronomicon,

unholy Net-cronomicon!

Yet again I warn you:  Ere posting these dread rituals, ensure that they be
tested, for if they be false and ineffective, the wrath of the great Cthulhu
against you would be dire (though, tis true, his wrath be dire no matter what),
and if they be true, then it would be best not to share them with the
unknowing, lest they summon up a fearsome demon that would devour them! For I

Derleth a big HPL fan??   Bit of an understatement.

August Derleth was the founder/owner of Arkham House publishers who were 
responsible for bring HPL and other into print (ie book as opposed to pulp mags)
The only HPL works are found in 3 hardback volumes from Arkham House or 7 
paperbacks from Del Rey books + _Horror in the Museum_ which is a collection
of stories ghosted by Lovecraft.  The stuff by HPL & Derleth was fragments 
left over by HPL that Derleth completed.  Frankly this stuff is better then
Derleth's solo Cthulhu stuff, but not quite as good as pure-HPL.  To each his
own, I suppose.

Yeah, The Dunwich Horror was reasonably good from what I remember.  It's

Not quite.  As I said in an earlier message, the copyrights on most of HPL's
work are still in effect, though they should start expiring soon.

Derleth, through Arkham House, *did* own the copyrights to HPL's work and
should legally have gotten a piece of the profits of any publication.  What he
*didn't* own was a copyright for the Cthulhu Mythos: the books, the towns, the
entities, etc., and *that's* what he went around saying as if it were true.

If it had ever come to court, I don't think it would have held up.  (And I'm
not a lawyer, so treat this as you will.)  Since HPL freely encouraged his
friends to contribute to the Mythos, letting them refer to Cthulhu and the
Necronomicon and Arkham and all without any specific permission, I believe a
court would have found that the Mythos trappings were in the public domain,
while the specific stories were under copyright to whomever held the rights.
In other words, he wouldn't have been able to force TSR to drop Cthulhu et al
from DEITIES AND DEMIGODS if TSR had decided to take him to court.

The dunwich Horror is a pretty funny film from the late 60's. Not really
that good, or that true to Lovecraft. But, if your tastes are as perverse
as mine, you will get quite a charge out of Dean Stockwell threatening
Sandra Dee with a Knife, while chanting "Yog SOTHOTH!!" over and over.

The Haunted Palace, although attributed to Poe, is actually a decent 
adaptation of "The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward" 

Die, Monster Die is based on "The Colour Out Of Space", but despite a 
game performance from Boris Karloff, it isn't very scary or accurate.
<Wil Wheaton was in another adaptation of this, that I thought was worse.
I think it was called "The Curse">

The UnNameable, is better described as "The UnWatchable", IMHO.

All IMHO
