I am looking forward to GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOUSITIES.
“Dreams in the Witch-House” and “Pickman’s Model*” are both interesting choices for inclusion, in that they are both some of Lovecraft’s most intimate works. I might have swapped out “The Terrible Old Man” for “Witch-House,” but then: I’m not Guilllermo del Toro, so what do I know?

*I’m certainly excited to see how this anthology’s take on “Pickman’s Model” diverges or converges with mine. And mine is only 99 cents!

As you say, interesting choices. Curious to see what he does with them. Feel better.
The Terrible Old Man is my favorite HPL work. That said, I think it’s very resistant to adaptation.
The story gives very few details, and asks the reader to fill in the rest from his imagination. (It’s not as bad as Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants, but…)
So any visual depiction is necessarily going to deviate from what the viewer experienced when he read the story.
I looked at the list.
It was humbling. I know I’ve read most, if not all, of the non-original stories, but for the most part, I couldn’t tell you a bloody thing beyond “I should totally know this. I’m sure I read it. The author’s name and title are very familiar. I just don’t remember any of it.)
