{{Main|Adaptations of works by Robert E. Howard}}

The works of Robert E. Howard have been adapted into multiple media, such as the two Conan films released in the 1980s starring [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], and another in 2011 starring [[Jason Momoa]]. In addition to the Conan films, other adaptations have included ''[[Kull the Conqueror]]'' (1997) and ''[[Solomon Kane (film)|Solomon Kane]]'' (2009). In television, the anthology series ''[[Thriller (American TV series)|Thriller]]'' (1961) led the adaptations with an episode based on the short story "[[Pigeons from Hell]]". The bulk of the adaptations have, however, been based on Conan with two animated and one live action series. Multiple audio dramas have been adapted, from professional audio books and plays to [[LibriVox]] recordings of works in the public domain. Computer games have focussed on Conan, beginning with ''[[Conan: Hall of Volta]]'' (1984) and continuing on to the MMO ''[[Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures]]'' (2008). The first table-top roleplaying game based on Howard's works was TSR's "[[Conan Unchained!]]" (1984) for their game ''[[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]''. The first comic book adaptation was in the Mexican ''Cuentos de Abuelito – La Reina de la Costa Negra'' No. 17 (1952).  Howard-related comic books continued to be published to the present day.

Howard is an ongoing inspiration for and influence on [[heavy metal music]]. Several bands have adapted Howard's works to tracks or entire albums. The British metal band [[Bal-Sagoth]] is named after Howard's story "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth".
