Lovecraft is actually the surname of a man: Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), an American writer of horror and rare fiction. He is best known for his works "Necronomicon" and "The Myths of Chtulhu". Many people take inspiration from their stories by creating terrifying characters. A great example is the creation of David Jones, the captain with tentacles of Pirates of the Caribbean III, inspired by the great God Chtulhu. Currently, Lovecraft is also the name of a program to create video games (other examples to give an idea are Unreal Engine 4 or Unity 3D).
