Comment on 10 Lovecraft Stories That Need Modern Movie Adaptations

R rated horror movies just don’t bring in the amount of money to sustain high budgets like that. The exception being “It” (and the sequel), but that had more mainstream appeal and also only came out years later.
Although isn’t the break even number usually closer to double the budget?
