Unspeakable horrors and eldritch places

Here's an interesting documentary for all you Cthulhu cultists and lovers of "unutterable horrors" out there, a biography of HP Lovecraft with analysis of his work. The music's a bit over the top, but it has a fairly well-chosen panel of talking heads, including Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, Guillermo Del Toro and John Carpenter. Enjoy!




Oh and just a thought, but does anybody else wish someone would make a creepy animated film based on the Cthulhu mythos? I could just imagine an animated version of Shadow over Innsmouth... that would be awesome...

Here's a bit of nostalgia for you...

Don't you just miss the days when blockbuster movies always had some cheesy, slightly bonkers pop song promoting them with an equally cheesy and bonkers promo video to go with it? Well set the way-back machine to the dark ages of 1992 and witness the bizarre pairing of the Addams Family and crazy person rapper MC Hammer!




I don't know what's more adorable: the terrible 90s CGI boncy head, Christina Ricci with sunglasses on, or Lurch dancing with Hammer's dance troupe.
