Here's what the guy on the other group said about comparing Prometheus to "At 
the Mountains of Madness"--
--Van

Alien planet = Antarctica

Weyland expedition = Miskatonic Expedition

Engineers  = Star-Headed Old Ones

Alien Mutations/Goo = Shoggoths.

In Lovecraft's novel, the Miskatonic expedition discovers that the star-headed 
Old Ones created humanity.  The same Old Ones also genetically bred the 
monstrous Shoggoths.  The Old ones lose control of the Shoggoths. Those Old 
Ones not killed by the Shoggoths go into suspended animation until being 
reawakened by the Miskatonic Expedition. The Old Ones attack the humans. The 
Shoggoths then attack both the humans and the revived Old Ones. The Miskatonic 
expedition even found beheaded corpses Old Ones (just as the Weyland expedition 
found a beheaded Engineer).
