It was hard not to go with Mel Brooks’ classic Dracula Dead and Loving It, but I guess I’ll opt for John Carpenter’s last great film, In the Mouth of Madness. Although it was a pastiche, it really kicked off a chain of good to great Lovecraft films. I really love this film a lot. Carpenter apparently put all his juice into this this. Six months later the single most useless film I’ve ever seen, his remake of Village of the Damned, also hit theaters.
