A good introduction to HP Lovecraft's ideas and stories as related by a number of his admirers including Guillermo del Toro, Peter Straub and Neil Gaiman. They take a chronological look through his many works whilst analysing both his style and his influences. It's this latter point that makes the documentary so interesting, as Lovecraft doesn't come across as the cuddliest person ever and whilst of his era, had a number of serious issues including xenophobia. The admirers are also very honest, quite happily prepared to highlight Lovercraft's story writing weaknesses.
Overall, insightful, although you get the impression that these guys are members of a very private fan club for a very odd fellow.
