I would love to see most of Lovecraft done as 1 hour episodes on Netflix. Only, if they are done, they need to be updated, as best as they can, to modern days. That was the whole point of Lovecraft. It wasn't Dracula in some far off castle in Transylvania. It was just done the street, in Boston!

At lot of it had to do with the split between the just barely modern (electric lights) and towns still without electricity, which was where all of the funky stuff occured.

OTOH, At the Mountains of Madness could be easily done modern.
