Dreams in the Witch House will destroy you emotionally.

Yes. Yes it will.

Though Brown Jenkin gave us a great use for baseball bats wrapped with barbed wire.

Trust me, this guy earned the f**king bat.

To make it better, it should be wielded by this guy.

Brown Jenkins is a little bastard.


Anyhoo, I've seen The Call of Cthulhu, the 2005 HPLHS adaptation of the classic Lovecraft tale. I've really liked it, it was an interesting idea to create the film how it would've been made in the time Lovecraft wrote the tale, and they got off the feel, indeed. The only giving off is that some of the actors felt too good for the 1920s :D But it's not really a downside. Would've liked it longer though, and the design for Cthulhu could've been... y'now... more something. It had that skinny neck and the octopus head on it looked a fair bit goofy. But the reveal was great!

I just read The Colour out of Space.

I was not ready for the sheer awesomeness I just experienced.

Just finished Call of Chtulhu. I love how Lovecraft brings all three parts of the story together, from Wilcox meeting Prof. Angell, to Lagresse showing the sculpture of Cthulhu at the meeting and it all goes back to narrator. Very nicely woven. But there's one thing I don't understand.

The island of R'lyeh rises up because the stars are right. But Cthulhu himself emerges simply because the sailors stumble across the island, yes? It could have been anybody who was there, but preferably, Cthulhu worshipers?

Yeah. Had Johansen and co not stopped the cultists, they would've landed and woken Cthulhu themselves.  Turns out the stars weren't quite right though and R'lyeh sank again.

Odd; if the stars weren't right, why did it rise at all? Was Cthulhu bored :P

Cthulhu does as Cthulhu pleases.
