I recently stumbled across a 2007 anime film that anthologizes three of H. P. Lovecraft's stories: The Picture in the House, The Dunwich Horror, and The Festival. The film--titled The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories--was produced in Japan in 2007 and was directed by Akira Shinagawa. Sadly at present it does not look like a Region 1 DVD exists, but it seems probably that the American otaku community has set up a grey-market copy somewhere, possibly fansubbed for the non-Japanese-speaking viewers.
Here is the Ganime page for the movie. The text is all in Japanese, but it does include a small movie file for the trailer. It looks like the film is a stop-motion affair along the lines of Jan Švankmajer's animation. I am very excited to see this.
