I think the whole forgotten environment/horrific beasties thing was still done fairly recently by PJ's Kong (which would have been great in 3D, now that I think of it), and while I don't love that movie, between it and Prometheus, I'm not too upset over the project's demise.

The Mountains of Madness novella isn't much like King Kong or Prometheus, to be honest.

My bad, got mixed up there. Haven't read Mountains, but it was The Call of Cthulhu which reminded me of Kong... and Del Toro has said that he was concerned that a post-Prometheus Mountains movie would feel too similar to the Scott film.

Just finished The Colour Out Of Space: favourite story so far and would potentially make a great film.

Sure, if you wanted to be depressed out of your mind! It's one thing to read about a whole family (literally) falling apart; it'd be quite another thing to watch it.

My favourite Lovecraft stories are "The Colour Out of Space" and "Rats in the Walls", but I have a hard time imagining the former as a movie - the specific idea of an unknown colour is part of the story's charm (and I feel it'd need to be padded out to film length, which is why Lovecraft's longer work is better suited).

I also imagine Giger must be a Lovecraft fan

Giger had an artbook called the Necromonicon... so... yes.

Though Mountains was effectively scrapped a while before Prometheus, so it's quite an academic comparison. And Mountains - with its wintry Arctic secret city inspired (as Lovecraft repeatedly reminds us) by a Nicholas Roerich painting and elaborate history of the various terrible Old Ones - is sufficiently different and more narratively satisfying.

The end of the Prophecy crossover was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to the storyline about the fallout in Red Sonja. 'The Crimson Well' sounds like a great story. Also, 'Red Sonja:Unchained' picks up from Red Sonja: Blue and also is off to a good start.
