Anyone have any off of the top of their heads? It doesn't necessarily have to be a direct link, but any particular anime series that gives you the same sense of eldritch horror normally inspired by paging through the Necronomicon.

As a Lovecraft enthusiast, I have been trying to find such series as well. The best I have, is Demonbane, which merely has some references to characters and places appearing in Lovecraft's works. Well, it depends on the viewer to thin khow large an influence Lovecraft's works have had on Demonbane...

There is also the manga version of the story "The Outsider".
In vino veritas.

Yeah, if you can endure it, Demonbane likes to spout random Lovecraft references a dozen times every ep for no reason. Be ware, it's not very good.

I'll give Demonbane a look nonetheless (but not expect anything special), thanks Crayne & Corrupt_Id!

Demonbane is one of those "so bad it's good" shows.

Well, I'm not sure if you've seen it but there is The Dunwich Horrors and Other Stories which is listed on this site. It contains three Lovecraft stories The Picture in the House, The Festival, and The Dunwich Horror.

If your looking for a anime related to lovecraft characters and don't mind it being a comedy rather than horror then check out Haiyore! Nyaruko-san.
