Overlooked Cosmic Horror/Lovecraftian Movies/TV Shows/Media Featuring Core Aspect Elements
The entries, such as, predominantly movies and less frequently, TV shows have rarely if ever been recognized and subsequently added to lists with related themes and/or overtones. The ones added here easily fit into the various cosmic horror/Lovecraftian universe tropes, at least predominantly if not always absolutely from onset to conclusion, in one or more main overarching aspects.
The TV shows added as a main title and not separate episodes are to be considered as a whole, not just arcs/segments, with only sporadic/minority of overall runtime of drifting/swaying from the related themes. Or in the end, it is what it builds up to.
