A fanzine edited by Robert M. Price and devoted to the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. It was published for the Esoteric Order of Dagon APA for a short time and ultimately ran 108 issues between 1981 and 2001.

Crypt was described by Price as "a bizarre miscegenation; half Lovecraft Studies rip-off, half humor magazine, a 'pulp thriller and theological journal'." Lovecraft scholarship was always important,, but it also included stories and poems, both reprints and new work. Its reviews covered genre books, films and games.
