    I’ve seen a lot of horror these last few years that fall under Lovecraftian that don’t fit my category. My category specifically has an inanimate object. I should have been specific. Christine fits my category as well and that’s certainly not Lovecraftian.

    I edited my original comment to include that.

      I’d say an inanimate object still falls into Cosmic Horror though.

      The Color From Outer Space is literally just about a color.

        I agree. I think, overall, the term “cosmic horror” does a better job of describing the genre over “Lovecraftian horror”.
