Toxic waste and/or meteorites turning animals into monstrous killers. At least they've changed it to cocaine nowadays, but of course that idea will get tiresome soon if it hasn't already. Off the top of my head there are two recent examples of this that actually work, but do it a little differently; Annihilation and Color Out of Space. Annihilation sure seems to have been influenced by Colorado space, but they both take different approaches to this trope... which may have kinda started with Lovecraft in the first place, I don't really know.

So it would appear that Color Out Of Space is basically a remake of the 1987 horror movie The Curse, which was based on the same Lovecraft story.

I haven't seen The Curse, but according to Wikipedia the Richard Stanley film is the fifth official adaptation; the first being Die, Monster, Die! from 1965 with Boris Karloff, the next being The Cursed, and then two low budget foreign films, one from Italy in 2008 and another from +Germany in 2010. That German one I'd actually heard of before. But Annihilation clearly has striking similarities to the story as well.

Characters waking up from a bad dream, only to be scared even further in a dream within a dream. Noticed even John Carpenter used this trick in In the Mouth of Madness.

Horror movie posters that show landscapes that look like a skull when you step back a little bit.
