The Colour Out Of Space

There was a film that was released in 2019 called "The Color Of Space" starring Nicolas Cage that I was aware of that I had seen the poster for many times but didn't give it a thought. Yesterday I watched a film that I had had in my collection for a year or two entitled "The Curse (1987), starring Wil Wheaton, Claude Akins and John Schneider. As I read up on it after the viewing, I discovered that it is the exact same story as the Nic Cage film and it was also even done earlier as "Die Monster Die!" (1965), starring Boris Karloff, which I has also seen. All 3 are based on the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Colour Out Of Space". I guess Hollywood has long since run out of ideas. Due to the three distinctly different titles, I was totally caught off guard by this repeated story.
