This is a screen capture from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society silent movie, filmed in B&W, deliberately scratched up (a process they call “Mythoscope”) to make it look like it was filmed in the 1920’s. I thought it was a pretty awesome film, actually, and very true to the original story.
The HP Lovecraft Historical Society also did a radio-drama version of At the Mountains of Madness (also reviewed here: indigestible.nightwares.com/2007/09/22/welcome-madness-say-hello/ ). In addition to period dramas they make and sell some rather convincing props.
I don’t know anything about the movie, but the pic is wonderful.
It was awesome. The Whisperer In Darkness kinda sucked, though. Maybe they should film The Dunwitch Horror next.

I got that last year and loved the hell out of it. Reviewed it too:

Nice for HPL nerds.
Mountains of Madness… Now that would make a great 1920s flick! Cardboard scenery and all!
Discovering the bodies of the expedition and the buried Old Ones… The shoggoth chase at the end… Do want.
I haven’t seen the movie yet. Just ordered it. Looks very cool.
@phaed: I agree. I always thought At the Mountains of Madness would be a great movie.
