Cthulhu isn't indescribable. he's pretty easy for anybody to picture in their heads. it's His size, the nature of R'lyeh, and the effect that Cthulhu and His minions would have on the psyche of Humanity that's indescribable. If He is here, the Old Ones would be let through the gate as well. Yog-Sothoth bleeds the doorway. The Silver Key is irrelevant.
Did we watch the same pilot? Granted, I'll give that this had a "We wish this was the Dark Shadows version of a Lovecraft story" feel to it...but it was awful. It was painful to watch. I know we're all starved for a good Lovecraft adaption but this wasn't it. There are more films on this particular collection, but watching this made me hesitant to check them out. Watch "In The Mouth of Madness" instead. Not a direct Lovecraft adaptation, but certainly a good send up that indirectly pays tribute.
I would enjoy this film only if you never had to look upon cthulhu only seen the faces of madness in those who looked upon him...c'mon now cthulhu is supposed tpo be indescribable
If Cthulhu is indescribable, why is it described in the story Call of Cthulhu and is even recreated in sculpture numerous times in the story? For all the talk about Lovecraft not showing the creatures, most of his creatures are decribed in his stories, with only a couple exceptions usually because the main characters don't encounter it and have no frame of reference.
it wasnt ever said Cthulhu was indescribable and furthermore Lovecraft uses alot of adjectives but ironically describes little most is still left to the imagination
Where can I find the DVDs. OH and btw the old version of FROM BEYOND was the best cheese horror flick when I was 8. I hope this remake can stand up to it.

They used parts of the Nightmare on Elm Street score as temp music! I saw this awhile back. I liked it alot, that pilot should have been picked up.

Rough Magik would have been a terrific series, its a shame that the BBC has a commitment to keeping anything vaguely intelligent off the screens.
Had someone made the pilot in the seventies it would have got a series. That's 'dumbing down' for you I suppose.
