This week on Dads From The Crypt, we crack open 1993’s Necronomicon—the Lovecraft-inspired horror anthology featuring stories of madness, monsters, and plenty of gooey practical effects. We dig into the wraparound with H.P. Lovecraft himself, break down all three twisted tales, and talk about whether this cult oddity is an underrated gem or just a slimy mess from the VHS era. Expect cosmic horror, gross creature effects, and the usual cryptkeeper-level nonsense from us along the way.Follow Dads From the Crypt!
