The family can claim copyright if the books are still in print and they have enought money to sue and make life nasty for anyone of the opposite opinion. Yes, it was Disney Co. the made copyright unattainable to everyone. While copyright on technology dies at 30 - 35 years... Literature / music / and all "intellectual and artistic" endeavors endure as long as they are being printed or published in some form or other. Lovecraft has never gone out of print and his estate (who would have little to do with him while alive) is very protective of him. BUT just do your own game of a submarine trapped in ice with your won demons... make it a modern nuclear sub and don't add cthulu and you have it.
There is no way to prove you read Lovecraft unless you wrote you dissertation on him.
