The House on Dame Street (1999)

 The House on Dame Street (1999) dir. Ruari Robinson, Image Now Films 


The animated short, and the first one from Ireland. As the credits say, LOOSELY based on "the Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward". 

Basically, a private investigator goes to check out house on Dam Street. He's in a bind, as he is not the first person hired to check out the strange goings on but he is the only one still alive. Can he figure out the mystery in time?

Given that's its only five minutes there's not much time to get into things. The visuals are decent for the time but it doesn't end so much as stop, and when I say loosely, I mean loosely. Honestly seems to have nothing what so ever to do with Lovecraft but I was unable to find anything about the 1997 short based on From Beyond, not even a cast list.
