The main Great Old Ones are Cthulhu (pronounced correctlty KOO-TOO-LOO), Yog-Sothoth,Shub-Niggurath,Hastur,Nyarlathotep and Tsathoggua.
Their main enemy are the Elder Gods,whom Lovecraft didn't have time time to flesh out before dying. The Old Ones' can travel the stars and even modify matter with the god-like power of thought, whereas the Elders use trheir super-advanced technology.
First of all, Yog-Sothoth is not, in fact, one of the Great Old Ones. The Lurker at the Threshold, as he is better known, is one of the Outer Gods. Same goes for Nyarlathotep, and Shub-Niggurath. This means that they are in fact more owerful than the Great Old One's and more harmful to your sanity and life, should you incur their wrath.
Second, those puny beings known as the Elder Gods are not rivals for the Great C'thulu. He will destroy them. And then you. I'ä! I'ä R'yleh!
@xombiez117 I'm guessing they spelled the name "Cathulhu" because the Arkham House publishing company is the copyright holder of the "Cthulhu Mythos" proper, and this is a parody, albeit a well done and well-researched parody. I'm guessing they had to ask permission to make this, though, because they use Arkham, the Necronomicon, and a shoggoth.
@BMorales0301 HP Lovecraft pioneered a form of fiction that featured interdimensional entities powerful enough to drive mear mortals insane with a thought. After his death, it was expanded by his contemporaries and fans. Cthulhu is one of the most famous "Old Ones", and is usually depicted as a bat-winged monster with an octopus head.
nothing bad happens just by knowing the old ones names its how you use the power words/chants inside the necronomicon i dont advise doing that at any costs unless you think you have what it takes to do battle with the old ones thats what it is all about
well you have all learnt something new have a good day everyone
(check me out if you like drum n bass im not great but im ok i use Magix music maker)
@bootboyz86 Master H.P.L wrote Cthulhu cause he didn' know how to write an alien word, it comes from the trought, but, in the internet and in books you find Kutulu wrote, which means in sumerian, as they say, (Lord of the deep" or something like that, i do not know if it really means so.. but.. i hope it doesn't exist, cause we are in trouble XD LOL Cheers!
Ok, serious question. Why has no one just burned this book. As far as lovecratian lore is concerned only one copy of the Necronomicon exists, and it should be as flammable as other books. Just set the thing on fire and roast some hotdogs on the ashes, problem solved. Just don't put it on display at the local museum.
It's kind of a staple of Fantasy Horror that fire never makes anything better, especially in Lovecraftian horror - You'd kill something and spend the rest of your life knowing that somewhere out there strange beings walk in the shadows and in our very skin. Same would go for the book, or even set a whole bunch of nasty shit free when it turns to fleshy ash.
Yeah I agree with you. Fire never makes anything better in horror. It's like having a seance and trying to burn a ouija board. On a serious note they should use white out on each of those pages so people can't read the book and get into trouble.
@nataspihsrow1 Garfield and Venkman were both portrayed by Bill Murray in 2 movies and Lorenzo Music on TV. In this case, the movie came first, but with Garfield the opposite is true.
By the way, It's June 19th. It's my birthday. If you read Garfield today, you'll find that it's the yearly "birthday" strip. Every June 19th, Garfield has a birthday strip. This year even happens to be a Sunday.
And it's father's day.
If you're a fan of Rey Mysterio Jr, you know what else 619 means.
And actually Clark Ashton in this very cartoon. Frank Welker is a massively diverse voice actor, doing soft good guy voices as well as harsh bad guy voices, often conversing with himself.
These guys really did their homework on this. The Mythos is pretty accurate and there are a ton and a half of inside jokes. This gets three tentacles up from the Campus Crusade For Cthulhu, CSUEB Chapter...
i don't think they spelled it wrong on purpose. the target audience are/were 6-13 year olds, give or take a few years, so i can imagine them discussing how the kids would try to pronounce it, without out ever hearing it. the apostrophe would prob scare little kids.
Most of the deities and demons identified within probably have not been effectivly summoned in nearly six thousand years.
Ordinary exercisms and banishings have thus far proved extreamly inadequate; this, by experienced magicians........taken from a 1586 translation i have in my posession......whoops.....oh and to really worship cthulhu is to have ones self possessed by cthulhu so if you think you are really ready to step on the ladder of lights and do battle with the old ones....idiots
lovecraft wrote alot about the necronomicon but he did NOT create any of it
cthulhu and everything to do with the necronomicon is real there are no effective banishings for the forces invoked in the necronomicon itself.
the rituals, incantations, formulae of this work are of ancient origin comprising some of the oldest written magickal workings in western occult history.
A completely fucked up spell book with its covered made in dried human skin and alien symbols written on it that could summon a monster so powerful we are no more than insects to it and which nothing would be able to stop it from a world ending madness inducing rampage where all of humanity would suffer a fate worse than death...
Yeah, put it on display, as if nothing could possibly go wrong.
if the developers need an idea for the next Ghostbusters game, they need to just watch this. The Ghostbusters vs the Great Old Ones? I would pay serious money for that!
oh dear god...i havent seen this...well the last time was the 80's...i watched this as a kid, and loved it...and then Lovecraft when i went to college and i became a huge fan....so to see this now
Ya just know the guard at the beginning was a snack for the minions. In extreme Ghostbusters, which was nowhere near this shows level, they would have shown the guard alive and well. Cannot upset the kiddies of that generation, ya see.
I just noticed this, but in my copy, the episode name is printed onto the first shot of the museum, instead of the usual title card. Then again, my copy's off USA, so they probably edited it to save room for commercials :P
this is easily the scariest kid show i saw growing up. Those tentacle monsters gave me nightmares when I first saw it years ago. Today, I'm a Lovecraft fanboy.
ok call me nuts but at 2:04 outside the window those sounds are from John CarpentersTHE FOG. Ive seen that movie enough times to know blake and his crew when i hear them.
@therealfirekirby VIle heretic! Man cannot truly know the spelling of HIS name. The great and Dread Tulu shall reign down eons of madness upon this fragile shell! Look not for prophecy, seek not wisdom, BUT HIDE YOUR VERY MIND FROM HIS GREATNESS. TO KNOW HIS FACE IS TO KNOW MADNESS!!!!
@therealfirekirby : NO, Arkham House would not give the show permission to directly use the character Cthulhu, so they misspelled the name on purpose and made Cthulhu red. It was to avoid a big legal issue.
@Nagneto You'd think they'd make it a little less similar if they wanted to avoid a lawsuit. They go on to talk about a place called "Arkham", the copyright page, and paperback rights...kind of a slap in the face if they didn't have permission to use the character.
@therealfirekirby No, he spelt it as in the title of the episode. They used a slightly different name because like most Ghostbusters storylines it's their own take on something.
Besides, it's kind of pointless arguing over the spelling of a name that's supposed to be unsuited to human language :p
Ghostbuster were wise to change the spelling, so as not to infringe the Dread One's copyright. It has helped their pitiful sanity survive for a little longer. Though not long, of course. I'ä! I'ä R'yleh!
@schizomaybe Who cares if the Necronomicon is pure fiction? After all, the Ghostbusters are pure fiction too! :-D
And by the way, this episode is NOT the only Necronomicon citation in Ghostbusters. Read the Simon Necronomicon and you will find a reference to "dog-faced demons called utukku-XUL"... remind you of something?
@JamesOhGoodie love the evil dead refrence, but that necronomicon was taken from hp lovecraft, and if you noticed the words ash was supposed to say where the words to disable to robot in the original the day the earth stood still
OMG I USE TO WATCH THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS A KID!!!! I can't believe i found it on youtube just now. if it wasn't for the fact that me and my cousen was watching GhostBusters the movie and started talking about it and the cartoons that followed and comic books got me to thinking and reminecing about my childhood got me to do a search for it. THANK YOU FOR POSTING.
@BlackNGoldRules-it's funny because there is an entire Garfield/Ghostbusters Triangle going on. Bill Murray was in the Ghostbusters movie. Lorenzo Music was the original voice of Garfield and at the same time, had a role in The RG. And Frank Welker was also in The RG. Then, Bill Murray said Music sounded too much like Garfield. Then later, for the Garfield movie, Bill Murray did the voice of Garfield. Now Frank Welker does the voice of Garfield in the modern animated cartoons. Strange huh?
I never understood why they made Egon look like a cracked-out Brian Setzer?

@rayblack2004 H.P. for the sake of time, began publishing in magazines in the early 20's, so I am not sure :/.

@rayblack2004 Well, this was a somewhat old series, and Lovecraft was writing sometime i believe in the 1900's, so... I don't think so.

@therealfirekirby if you truly worshiped cthulhu you wouldn't be saying it so overtly on the internet.

@therealfirekirby VIle heretic! Man cannot truly know the spelling of HIS name. The great and Dread Tulu shall reign down eons of madness upon this fragile shell! Look not for prophecy, seek not wisdom, BUT HIDE YOUR VERY MIND FROM HIS GREATNESS. TO KNOW HIS FACE IS TO KNOW MADNESS!!!!

@therealfirekirby Cthulu is mythical. If you went searching for the texts you would realize.It's not real. I went on a search...

@therealfirekirby You worship a fictional character written by HP Lovecraft? Ok. Well I guess that's no different than Christianity *duck*

@therealfirekirby Either spelling is acceptable. Look at wikipedia, he's got TONS of iterations of his name.
And if you truly worshipped Cthulu, you would give him his capital letter for his name and title.

@therealfirekirby : NO, Arkham House would not give the show permission to directly use the character Cthulhu, so they misspelled the name on purpose and made Cthulhu red. It was to avoid a big legal issue.

@Nagneto You'd think they'd make it a little less similar if they wanted to avoid a lawsuit. They go on to talk about a place called "Arkham", the copyright page, and paperback rights...kind of a slap in the face if they didn't have permission to use the character.

@newguy33X Not sure about when the episode was made, but its my understanding that - at least today - most Lovecraft stuff is in the public domain.

@therealfirekirby It's because of Lovecraft's trademark I think...
tgh00ker 9 months ago
@therealfirekirby No, he spelt it as in the title of the episode. They used a slightly different name because like most Ghostbusters storylines it's their own take on something.
Besides, it's kind of pointless arguing over the spelling of a name that's supposed to be unsuited to human language :p

@Prophaniti666
Ghostbuster were wise to change the spelling, so as not to infringe the Dread One's copyright. It has helped their pitiful sanity survive for a little longer. Though not long, of course. I'ä! I'ä R'yleh!

Fail. Necronomicon is just pure fiction XD hahaha.
Hahaha. And The Satanic bible would be more fitting.. And the pentagram is on the wrong side up....

@schizomaybe Who cares if the Necronomicon is pure fiction? After all, the Ghostbusters are pure fiction too! :-D
And by the way, this episode is NOT the only Necronomicon citation in Ghostbusters. Read the Simon Necronomicon and you will find a reference to "dog-faced demons called utukku-XUL"... remind you of something?

Bill Murray got that guy fired...he said he didn't like his character sounding like Garfield.

@mark1mod0 And yet, years later, Bill Murray ends up playing the voice of Garfield in the movie. Interesting.
BlackNGoldRules 1 year ago
@BlackNGoldRules-it's funny because there is an entire Garfield/Ghostbusters Triangle going on. Bill Murray was in the Ghostbusters movie. Lorenzo Music was the original voice of Garfield and at the same time, had a role in The RG. And Frank Welker was also in The RG. Then, Bill Murray said Music sounded too much like Garfield. Then later, for the Garfield movie, Bill Murray did the voice of Garfield. Now Frank Welker does the voice of Garfield in the modern animated cartoons. Strange huh?
