Is it accurate to describe X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes as “Cyclops but addicted to drugs?” Not entirely, but it’s a more accurate description than calling the pre-Haunted Castle Roger Corman flick “Lovecraftian.” Featuring Ray Milland as a man of science who gets more than he bargained for when he experiments on his own eyes, X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes, a low-budget, unofficial Invisible Man adaptation could greatly benefit from a contemporary update.

I never saw this one, but I did recently read that the film “Diary of a Madman” (starring Vincent Price, and I haven’t seen it either) was adapted from Guy de Maupassant’s “The Horla”, which H. P. Lovecraft discussed in his “Supernatural Horror in Literature”. So perhaps that’s one you guys could tackle in the future.
