stuart gordon's the only director i can think of that's done a good job of adapting lovecraft stories so far. check out reanimator, from beyond, dagon, dreams in the witch house... think there's more.
Dagon...............;..Such a horrible attempt. The deep ones are fishmen, not squids. And right off he screwed up the title. The movie Dagon, is actually about the story " A Shadow over Innsmouth".
Well it's confirmed from WoW; I was walking thru Toys R US with my daughter & she spotted the World of Warcraft action figures: "Look, Baba-it's the Fishemen!"
Ya, even though I'm not an atheist, I still appretiate his work. Also because I'm not into the overused blood and guts kind of horror, but the kind that messes with one's head, LOL.
invadernatasha, I kind of get the feeling Lovecraft was a couple of cans shy of a six-pack; either that or he had a wicked case of syphilis of the brain...
That being said, this song is one of the dang funniest songs parodies I've heard in a long time.
Yeah, the guy was disturbed in many ways. But, jeez, was his imagination whacked out, lol. I do love the parodies as well. They make me laugh, which is kind of crazy considering the horrible things they are about. :P
I hear you but this song has been stuck in my head for days...my coworkers are wondering why I'm singing Christmas Carols so early...if ONLY they knew...
I've just gotten into all this Lovecraftian stuff. Its really interesting, and the only thing really I've finished reading is The Dunwich horror, but am working on the Dream quest of Unknown Kadath. Creepy good stuff, but it makes me wonder about Lovecraft, where he got all this stuff from and so clearly... o_o
Lovecraft was a great fan of Edgar Allen Poe, and he wrote about the same sort of horror that you could not see. Now combine it with a wish to make horror stories for atheists, and you get Lovecraft.
@Deathrune456 I can see it. That's about the worst one for that, though. He was an oddball though, he hated foreigners and non-white people but he married a jewish woman from Russia. I think it was congeneal.
@invadernatasha22 He Was also a lucid dreamer, and quite frankly i dont think i could explain half the stuff I see in MY dreams to someone else... let alone try to come up with explainations of HP's dreams.
@invadernatasha22 Lovecraft was very sick with a lot of illnesses as a child and spent a lot of time secluded and having to live off of his imagination. So he was very creative to begin with and he was forced to use that to survive in the world. But from what everyone he associated with knows, What he wrote about is what he saw and that's what makes it very frightening.
Call of Cthulu is the most famous, but Shadow over Innsmouth seems to be a very close second. Its also the one who seems to get the most adaptation as movie (all of them are small budget, so they are mostly unknown)
Don't forget Dunwich Horror. That one's pretty famous too.
Oh, and it might interest ppl to know, Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy 2)has expressed interest in making a "mountains of madness" film. With prosthetics like his, it would be scarily brilliant
DQ to Kadath covers the bulk of the Yithian race, I shudder that this man had all of this in mind. Very, incredibly vivid accounts, an explanation of the dreamworld and the relation to Cthulhu him or itself (whatever it is) with it. Creepy.
i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
from what I understand Shadow Over innsmouth and Call of Cthulhu are the two short stories that are going to be combined and adapted for the real Cthulhu movie coming out.
this is like that crazy dream i had after drinking two bottles of deep woods off bug repellant. It made me see dots and that was cool, but it gave me the shits for a week so i wouldnt recommend it.
You have no idea how much this cheered me up. Seriously, I love that song so much and to see a video to that - no words can describe its awesomeness. Much like Cthulhu.
The sound at the end of the song is called Bloop right.
