The Lurking Fear
"The Lurking Fear" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft in the horror fiction genre. Written in November 1922, it was first published in the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew.
Origin
Like "Herbert West–Reanimator", earlier published in Home Brew, "The Lurking Fear" was solicited by editor George Julian Houtain expressly to be published as a serial. Unlike with "Herbert West", however, Houtain ran recaps of the story so far with each installment after the first, relieving Lovecraft of the need for objectionable repetition.

Lurking Fear is a 1994 horror film, loosely based on the H. P. Lovecraft short story "The Lurking Fear". It was produced by Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment and written and directed by C. Courtney Joyner.
Plot
Ex-con John Martense (Blake Adams) returns to his childhood home of Lefferts Corner after serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Martense visits family friend Knaggs (Vincent Schiavelli), a mortician who has been holding half of a map for him. The map leads to a graveyard where Martense's father hid the money from his last heist. Arriving at an abandoned church, Martense is confronted by Cathryn (Ashley Laurence), a young woman seeking revenge for the murder of her sister, and town doctor Dr. Haggis (Jeffrey Combs). This group is quickly joined by a trio of criminals who are looking to find the money John's father stole from them. What everyone is not aware of are the humanoid creatures lurking underneath the holy grounds.
Release
Lurking Fear was released on DVD by Wizard on Oct 23, 2012.

The Lurking Fear
by: RepulsionFor many peaceful years their bodies laid in rest
Nuclear disaster from a nill fated test
Bodies start to rise, the holocaust is near
Can't escape the horror
Smell the lurking fear
Zombie eating children - Ripping out their guts
Headless bodies in the playground satisfy their lust
Cities are destroyed as corpses come to life
You can't escape the horror, feel the lurking fear
You know the end is coming, feel the grip of death
Zombies get you cornered and tear apart your flesh
Stick their fingers in your neck
Rip off your fucking head
They need to eat the living
It's the hunger of the dead
Now you're a fucking zombie
Your skin is turning blue
You feed to eat the living
It's hunger of the dead
Now you're a fucking zombie
Your skin is turning blue
You feed upon the living
Hell's awaiting you
Find a helpless vicitm, bite into his flesh
