Lovecrafter 

A person/individual who is into the Lovecraftian Fandom or the Cthulhu Mythos.
Much like Whovians, Sherlockians, Lovecrafters enjoy the same thing as other Lovecrafters.
Most commonly (and possibly Stereotypically) their favorite stories are either or both of Dunwich Horror or Call of Cthulhu.
Lovecrafter 1: I really love Call of Cthulhu and Dunwich Horror!
Lovecrafter 2: Oh, how original. No, Kadath and Shunned House was better.
Lovecrafter 3: You all suck, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward was the best one of them all.
Person 1: (whispering) What are they talking about?
Person 2: (whispering) They're Lovecrafters... Fanboys and Fangirls of Lovecraft.
Sherlockian: Amateurs....

H.P. Lovecraft 

One of the most brilliant minds in literature of all time. H.P. Lovecraft's work can be categorized as horror, Gothic, fantasy, and mystery. With influences by the captivating and mysterious work of the artist, Sidney H. Sime and the ethereal dream-worlds of the author, Lord Dunsany, H.P. Lovecraft's work is the epitome of great Gothic literature. Some of his works include Dagon, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Cats of Ulthar, The Doom That Came to Sarnath, At the Mountains of Madness, The Thing on the Doorstep, and the infamous The Call of Cthulhu. Lovecraft's stories continue to spark the imaginations of authors today. There are countless modern Cthulhu Mythos and movies based on his stories. But nothing can come close to the original work of H.P. Lovecraft.

lovecraftian 

Said of a creature, it means something that merely knowing it exists can wear away at ones sanity, and seeing it can be even worse. Such creatures are usually older than humanity, from another planet or dimension, or both. They are not, in the classical sense, evil, but view humans as humans view ants. Stereotypical Lovecraftian creatues are slimey with lots of tentacles.

Said of a story, it can mean several things:

1) A story where the protagonist stumbles upon Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, and ends up telling the story either from within an insane asylum, or from a journal he kept that is discovered after he mysteriously disappears.

2) Any story containing a Lovecraftian creature.
The monster from "The Thing" is pretty Lovecraftian.

H. P. Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was the author of many short stories and the father of cosmicism. He wrote about a universe that is utterly meaningless and the cosmic horrors that live therein. He is considered the greatest writer of horror to live in the age after Poe and before Stephen King.
Tentacles? Forbidden knowledge? Esoteric cults? You must be reading an H. P. Lovecraft story.

A romance vessel that unwittingly ventures into the cyclopean horrors of unknowable planes; where Azathoth gnaws hungrily in the dark to the piping of strange flutes at the center of chaos, where Cthulhu waits dreaming at dead R'lyeh, where Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, tears at the eyes of those who gaze upon his form. FEAR HIM WHO CALLS ITS NAME, FOR THIS DAY, THE LOVECRAFT CARRIES YOU!!!
.Ohhh, darling how about this one? The Lovecraft?
.Why yes, dear, that DOES sound romantic!

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
