My vote is rather biased, because I've seen way more Stephen King than I have Lovecraft. Of course, if Stuart Gordon directs Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, the result will always be good. Re-Animator is good, From Beyond is good, Castle Freak is good... that's the extent of my knowledge there.
King though? There are at least two dozen movies by him that are various degrees of entertaining. Some are downright classics, some are shit, but most are still fun enough.
Perhaps this thread will give me some H.P. recs.
