Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Attention, fans of H.P. Lovecraft’s brand of cosmic horror:

According to my calendar, today marks the day in 1925 when the ancient sunken city of R’lyeh rose from the bottom of the sea, temporarily freeing the mighty eldritch god/monster Cthulhu to terrorize some fish and some sailors.

So, ya know, it’s a great day for performing blasphemous and squiddy acts against anyone you want.

    One of the few HP Lovecraft stories that made it into a good movie. If you’ve not seen the silent indie movie, you should buy it. No torrents–these guys deserve the cash. 🙂

    I really should get that. It came out for the first time at the end of my flush-with-capital period and at the beginning of my wow-how-did-I-ever-survive-on-this-before period.

    But I really should knuckle under and get it. I’ve wanted to see it for so long…

    Awesome! I was looking for an excuse to perform some blasphemous and squiddy acts.

    Don’t bust the bank for it. The runtime on it is about an hour and change–so it’s pretty short, but it’s good storytelling.
