[tk5800thesecond]

"screaming at the window" i cried at that line, it speaks to me, oh hold on a sec my window is bitching at me

[drillhousen]

one of the best videos



[jbarroso22]

[TheCaptainLulz]

And a hearty C'thulhu F'thagn to you to sir.

[MAVGR]

Smoke some good stuff and then Watch That movie !

IT will make you CRAZY !

One of the Best Movies of 1995 !!!

That movies has many refernces from H.P Lovecraft 2 books i think..

1.The Shadow over Insmouth

2.At the mountains of Madness

No more movies like that at our days...

Nice Editing on the Video with the Music !! 5**** and in Favorites !

[6Sutter6Cane6]

@MAVGR No, just the title is a pun on those. It does have a SOI reference, though. Although if you watch and listen closely, you'll see references to several of his short stories. For example, "The Haunter of the Dark," "Pickman's Model," that's about all I can think of right now, but the beginning where Trent is in the asylum saying he's not insane is also obviously a Lovecraft reference.

[eberik]

The ultimate Lovecraft inspired movie, never get tired of watching it

[kevinhardy]

good video

[Nightwithe]

what's the song?

[Nightwlthe]

@Nightwithe Its called Fuck You by yours truly.

[TheCaptainLulz]

Nice tribute, and the blizzard is apropriate for all ocasions.

[ChromeDrifter71]

Maybe I'm being mad, myself, but didn't John Carpenter's The Thing have more than a little of At The Mountians Of Madness about it?

[Alienclot]

well done.

[kesson12]

I think using ozzy osbournes 'Diary of a madman' Isnt as such a great idea as it would've been to at least use one of the few songs metallica wrote about cthulhu.

[Nemesis921]

@kesson12 really? cause...idk it fits pretty well.

[Gishatako]

"Diary of a Madman" by Ozzy Osbourne.  LOOK IN THE DAMN DESCRIPTION

[bissolis]

Wonderful

[Tachyon55555]

the life or the insanity one self had before finding bigger stars and life important things, very illusive thoughts yet for some hard to push away, I was one of thoose so I said IAK SAKKAK IAK SAKKAK and threw my Necro into wall and jumped on it before I burned it to hell, If you have that thing that makes you think diff you may have done the same one upon a time before the now. at least I don´t dream so no nightmares yeah.

[grimofhell]

the vid really fits with ozzy :D

btw isent that sam neil??

[Diabolik771]

Great song. I'm gonna have to check out this film. If any author could induce insanity it would have to be Lovecraft. Other Mythos-ish feeling films would be Children of the Corn, Rosemary's baby, The Fog, and of coarse The Thing.

[GuiltyForVandalism]

the song should be call of ktulu by metallica

that would make sense

[minidude1550]

Ozzy Osbourne owns Metallica, don't object.

[omegavalderrama]

Yeah but the song actually would be more apropiate.

[spacecowboy5000]

I've seen this movie. It has nothing to do with Lovecraft or the Cthulhu Mythos. There aren't any references to them at all in this movie.

[PhreakStep]

O rly?

Everyone who reads the book goes insane.

The main character is some kind of investigator and goes mad.

story starts by main character being in asylum and tells the story what happened to him.

Tentacle monsters.

etc...

That to me is very inspired by lovecraft works even the title of movie In the mouth of madness (in the mountains of madness)

[spacecowboy5000]

A Lovecraft influence is there. All I'm saying is that there's no DIRECT reference to Lovecraft or the Cthulhu Mythos. Just saying. I still liked the movie.

[formless777]

"In the Mouth of Madness" is definitely a C'thulhu movie. It even says so in Wikipedia it's that obvious. Sutter Kane is the bastard hybrid of HPL and Stephen King. According to the Malleus Monstorum, Kane is an avatar of Nyarlathotep, one of the 999 Masks.

[spacecowboy5000]

Well, I've already given in. Your argument is a solid one. I guess I'll have to watch the movie again - if I can even find it!

[formless777]

You are in luck. I'll post you a link.

[cha5]

Although the film that's closest to a straight faithful adaptation of a Lovecraft Cthulhu story IMHO would have to be the short silent film 'The Call Of Cthulhu' that the HPL historical society created

back in 2005.

[PyramidHead333]

Huh, interesting. But wouldn't Nyarlathotep KNOW who he is? Because at first Kane thought he was writing fiction.

[formless777]

Interesting point, to which the answer is probably no. There is a mythos story where physicists attempt to solve the Kruschtya equation, a strange physics problem, but in the process become avatars of Nyarlathotep.

[PyramidHead333]

Oh, wait, correction to my comment, it's Sutter CANE, not KANE. But whatever.

[keenvden]

The hotel owner is named Pickman, Cane talks about the "Old Ones", Cane's books The Hobbes End Horror, The Wisperer in the Dark and In the Mouth of Madness all have names similar to Lovecraft's (The Dunwich Horror, The Whisperer in Darkness and At the Mountains of Madness). And the film is in flashback with the main character in an asylum.

Not forgetting that one of the quotes in the film is directly from Lovecraft's The Outsider.

Yup, nothing Lovecfatian in this film :)

[laharall]

The movie wasn't supposed to be about the Cthulhu Mythos. It was supposed to be a suspense/horror movie in the same style of H.P. Lovecrafts works. The movie has ancient evils waiting to be reborn, and dark cults trying to help them awake, just like most of H.P. Lovecrafts works. The publisher of Sutter Cains books in the movie was also the same company that published H.P. Lovecrafts works in real life.

[TheBookWorld]

what movie are you talking about ?

[PyramidHead333]

In The Mouth of Madness.

[joecollinsx]

No, but the imagery and the story are definitely inspired by Lovecraft's work.

[spacecowboy5000]

That's true. I can't argue with that.

[zalamalek]

It is not "Lovecraft"... who was a genius: no music, no picture, only these words to create magic and terrific atmosphere!

[Syphen0123]

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

[noone2975]

@Syphen0123 um.... wat?

[GamerBiz]

@noone2975 what Section31Captain said. That's what it means.

[Section31Captain]

@Syphen0123 In his house at R'leyh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

[WooPingCo]

@Syphen0123 Try to pronounce it!

[MordorMelkor68]

The music in the beginning is "Diary of a Madman" by Ozzy Osbourne.

[Markis2bi4]

...Well I hear bad sushi fu*ks your mind prety badly.

[drillhousen]

AWFULL

[pergolatios]

true

[ico3232]

That was more of a tribute to "In the Mouth of Madness" more than anything else. You should have used actual Lovecraft adaptations like the Re-Animator trilogy, From Beyond or the great Call of Cathulhu silent film released a couple years ago.

[Cthuthul]

Kann mir jemand sagen, wo ich eine "Übersetztung" oder sonstwas für die "schrift" der alten (also dieses Lä! Or'elyhe ; oder fhatgn!) finden kann? ich wäre dann sehr erfreut ;)

[AfroNinja101SK]

hey does anyone know 1 of lovecraft's books in which he is running from demon hounds that enter the world thru a 90 degree angle. if anyone knows da name plz tell me

[IllumRising]

that book wasn't by Lovecraft. It is a short story called "The Hounds of Tindalos" by Frank Belknap Long.

[AfroNinja101SK]

oh thnx

[terronova]

The film shown on the clip with Sam Niel... what is its name?

[Ko7sma]

Sam Neil... And the name of the film: John Carpenter's 'In the Mouth of Madness'.

[lordstikman]

In The Mouth Of Madness. John Carpenter directed

[moonseolnyeo]

Great song; great movie!

[sten0ne]

i think lovecraft was a genius because he managed to make a great story so belivable that ppl have actualy made a cult

called COC - Cult Of Cthulhu

look it up im not a liar

it quite unbelivable...

and im simply amazed

[james405609]

The actor is Sam Niel from Original Omen 3 Jurrasic park, Event Horizon even better and Darker than In the mouth of madness. He needs to play these roles more often, he normally plays a good guy, BUT is Excellent when he plays these psychotic characters

[o0FreakinStein0o]

im playing that call of cthulu PC game Dark corners of the earth, creeps me out at times and the enviroment is really moody

really puts you in the time and place

[Fantagiro665]

wath is that film in 1:13

[happypranksgiving]

It's a black and white, silent film adaptation of Call of Cthulhu.

[Outlander999]

Great music selection, and great video!

5/5.

Ya! Ya!

[Thrashaholic92]

Diary of a Madman was a good choice, but what about Metallica's Call of Cthulu? haha

[DarkCode]

Hey wait what movie is this? with the guy from Jurrasic park?? whats the name of it so I can go rent it ?? wb please

[Darwinsmistake]

The movie's "In the Mouth of Madness" by John Carpenter

[jmm1233]

Reminds me of what happened to Syd Barrett , He and Lovecraft were very simaliar

[BongSabre]

"Sorry about the balls!"

John Carpenter's homage to Lovecraft. Great flick. He even gives a nod to Steven King "Sutter Kane" as a usurper of the Old Ones.

[Darwinsmistake]

Was Sutter Kane actually a character of Steven King's? I always thought it was just a bit of a nod to Steven King himself, as a successful horror writer... What book's he from?

[BongSabre]

No, not a character but the man himself. But, by a degree of seperation, Stephen King is an heir to the Lovecraft mythos.

[cha5]

Not just King, Neil Gaiman has also contributed to it especially with his tale

'A Study In Emerald'.

[Jiraiya18x]

he was a genius!

i love his books, cthulhu mythos = legendary

[BigRedTooL]

Thnx for webbing this video, making me aware of the existence of this film. It looks... dissapointing, as all other attempts to make the movie that brings Lovecrafts universe to life visually, but i´ll definately have a look-see. "Diary of a Madman" was a fitting theme for this!

[kevinhardy]

dont trust reality'''

nice video

[SidNightWalker]

Liked it...just didnt see enough chutul in it.

[TheFunPatrol]

whos chutul?

[Chokula99]

hes some guy that hangs around at the bar near my town. def a metalskull with some goth orientation.

[TheFunPatrol]

haahha. i think i know that guy. morbid angel shirt, but still paints his nails and has a bit of the Innsmouth look about him?

[DarkwingChiron]

A god

[TheFunPatrol]

I'm being sarcastic about the lack of spell-checking. C t h u l h u.

[DarkwingChiron]

ah, sorry

[Daemonique]

This movie could be SERIOUSLY good if it wasn't for the so UNserious music - Lovecraft & Ozzy Osbourne??! Yikes... what a combination! This could be really impressive with some DARK music on it... like, Raison D'etre, Controlled Bleeding, something in that vein.

[guyverunit1]

ur a retard...ozzy fits so good

[schwoogie78]

yeah...no shit....this guy is a cunt.....ozzy and lovecraft are perfect together......jesus what a "to cool for the room" asshole......

[schwoogie78]

good golly your so informed and so much smarter than i....just die you shithole

[Gorefan123]

Fewdio is the best at executing Lovecraftian dread and horror. Bar none.

[StLightning]

I'a Tita! (my cat)

[spammey]

Its a Homage to Lovecraft by John Carpenter.... good film aswell

[Armypat8594]

the film is "in the mouth of madness"

[stepangovno]

Ozzy Rocks

[zebell33]

when was this film out?or...is it coming?...can someone tell me

[paris26581]

the film goes back to 1995....

and @ scarpredator007 have u seen this movie??

its based on Lovecrafts work.. not a Lovecraft film... ;)

[zebell33]

Thanx and no i havent

[scarpredator007]

OMFG SAM NEIL ACTED IN A H.P LOVECRAFT FILM.ive now seen it all lol.

[EMPYREAN808]

H.P. Lovecraft is the man! All hail the mighty Nyralathotep! Praise Cthulhu!

[Fewdiodotcom]

Our fave here at FEWDIO is the Dunwich Horror with Dean Stockwell and the Karloff classic DIE! MONSTER! DIE!

cool video

your friends at FEWDIO horror

[odinnbreki]

What song is played under?...

[odraconiandevil79]

Oddly fitting combo of ITMOM and Ozzys Diary of a Madman.

Cool stuff!

[WickedNemesis]

This is from Dickman's Model, unfortunately, just a short story. H.P. LOvecraft is awesome. I feel, the monster from Cloverfield is based on something from Lovecraft. Maybe the monsters from the moving painting( in the inn where the old lady is torturing her husband and becomes a cthulu/ cloverfield type demon monster.

[joeyconstello]

lol you mean Pickman's model right?

[joeyconstello]

lol you mean Pickman's model right?

[WickedNemesis]

as you can see, i was typing a lot, very fast. at least you knew what i was talking about. you didn't have to post it twice.

[BoyintheMachine]

Is Cloverfield any good? I just saw, 'The Mist', and the lovecraftian influence is extremely aparant. I miss Buff the Vampire Slayer/Angel the series, as they were perhaps some of my favorite lovecraftian influenced shows.

[WickedNemesis]

I liked Cloverfield and have always heard of the Lovecraft influence in Buffy, but have never seen it. Definetly check out Cloverfield. Look up Slusho on the internet for some interseting hidden things and clues about Cloverfield. Also, King loves Lovecraft and always gives him his just due.

[BoyintheMachine]

Thanks. Joss Whedon is a fan of Lovecraft and both Buffy/Angel are based on the Cthulhu Mythos.  I will post Jasmine's speech, from Angel The Series.

[BoyintheMachine]

"In the beginning...great beings walked the Earth. Untold power emanated from all quarters, the seeds of what would come to be known as good and evil. The shadows stretched and became darkness. The malevolent among us grew stronger. The Earth became a demon realm. Those of us who had the will to resist left this place. We remained ever watchful. Then something new emerged from deep inside the Earth. Neither demon nor god. And it seemed that through this new race the balance might be restored."

[BoyintheMachine]

I found this:

Demon Origins: Buffyverse mythology traces the origin of demons back to a time before recorded human history, when the world was not controlled by human beings, but by the "Old Ones"--super-powerful and bloodthirsty beings (relative to us, anyway). We are not told exactly how they lost their claim to the Earthly reality, but humans are clearly in charge of it now (The Harvest, The Prodigal).

[WickedNemesis]

thank you for posting the quote. you just proved your theory.

[DEPARTMENTofPEACEusa]

This not the original music for the classic Ozzy song, the bass and drums have been re-recorded. If you know the original "Diary of a Madman" you know what I'm talking about.....Just type the name "BOB DAISLEY" into your youtube or wikipedia and you will find out what I mean.

[Clicephas]

The movie Dagon is, to my humble opinion, much more representative of the Lovecraft ambiance. Too bad for the crappy adaptation of From Beyond and Herbert West:Reanimator.

His craziest novel is probably .Horror in Red Hook, where he describes a satanic orgy.

[egdeltur666]

Stuart Gordon kicks ass! He's the only director EVER who has consitently presented mythos monsters with integrity, or presented them AT ALL! Shunned House's Tru'nembra was great, as was the HPLHS Cthulhu, but Gordon did Dagon, a Shoggoth, Astral Parasites, and Brown Jenkin. And every time he's done a good job. Over the top? You betcha, but he knows what he's doing!

[WickedNemesis]

you definitely do not know good movies. the unrated From Beyond is awesome. you do realize they told the full story of both short stories before the credits of both movies. i think that is pretty fucking representive.

[Clicephas]

I agree in many ways with you guys, but I do know good movies. (Edmond by S.Gordon for example) . I'll just repeat that TO MY HUMBLE OPINION, Dagon is a very strong adaptation (no stupid sex scene like in From Beyond). I'm no expert in Lovecraft nor Gordon, but I do make a living with filmmaking! Thanks to you, I'll go rent the other H.P. films again and maybe appreciate them more.

[WickedNemesis]

The you do not know movies was harsh i apologize

[Clicephas]

No harm done! Thank you for your politeness.

[BoyintheMachine]

'From Beyond' scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it.

[WickedNemesis]

but the question is, did u like it?

[erasson9]

Although I have not seen the film, I thinks it'd be awesome... A tribute to the greater author of Horror...

[theperfectblack]

IN the mouth of madness good ass movie. :)

[kkckdkdtlol]

la boca del miedo ??

nunca habia escuchado de ella...sabes en que libro de Lovecraft esta basado?

[josesunrise]

esa película la dirigio Jhon Carpenter y trata de la mitología de Lovecraft, el nombre esta tomado de la novela "En las montañas de la locura"en ingles: "In the montains of madness" y la película en ingles se llama "In the mouth of madness", es una especie de homenaje.

[cogemeste]

The movie is ( in spanish) EN LA BOCA DEL MIEDO

[WickedNemesis]

In the Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon are my favorite horror/ science fiction movies.

[joe6panther6]

Awesome!

[gatostyle]

hey que pelicula es esa???

what movie is this !!! i never see before plis answerme !!!

[tehom001]

whats the name of this movie?

[pookiemang69]

Into the mouth of madness

[BebbelB]

I like this movie so much. I tried to get the DVD or something but the price is like the movie mad (50$)

[icymanipulator75]

sounds like ozzy

[NickdaPrick]

Really nice! the song fits in perfectly!

[lovelygreebo]

Is dat "mouth of madness"?

[evilmick66]

Wow! I never noticed up until now but this song really fits well in the context of Lovecraft! Awesome!! \m/

[MikeyGee82]

I love this movie - it's Lovecraft in a nutshell and contains alot of his themes - people going mad from reading a book (The Necronomicon in Lovecrafts' case), the unleashing of ancient beasties... nice work! ;)

[fenrisek]

Right, it's Ozzie. Thx.

[Tbone22Fox]

You can click "more", right side from video and you will find out :)

[fenrisek]

TBone, what's that song?

Good job, btw. Nice vid.
