Title: Cthulhu
Post by: Pharaoh Cat on December 17, 2011, 09:52:43 AM
Post anything at all Cthulhu-related or Lovecraft-related to this thread.

Here's a cool article summarizing Lovecraft's influence on heavy metal:

Cower in fear! Avert your eyes lest you be lost forever in madness!

He wasn't that scary with his wife and family - quite cuddly, really:

Available on MP3 - one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in any genre - Call of Cthulhu movie soundtrack:

The Cthulhu Bible on Kindle - sort of a Dark Vedanta Yoga, this is a serious attempt at starting a Cthulhu cult where Cthulhu destroys everything, which is OK, because everything we think is real, isn't: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cthulhu-Bible-ebook/dp/B002NGO316/ref=sr_1_20?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1324165974&sr=1-20

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! :D

Did anyone play the old 2004 video game, Call of Cthulhu: the Dark Corners of the Earth? It's based more on the Shadow Over Innsmouth than the actual Call of Cthulhu story but it's pretty good. If anyone's played the indie games Penumbra or Amnesia: The Dark Descent, they borrow quite a lot from it - no hud FPS, emphasis on puzzle solving and sneaking rather than weapons, similarish atmosphere - so if you like those you might enjoy their spiritual predecessor. Bethesda Softworks are responsible for it, and they seldom go wrong:

I enjoyed it. I suggest just checking it out. Dont expect it to be scary, but kinda mindfuck.
It can be slow, but the main protagonist is awsome.

I just listed a few authors that I like on the "Your reading list" thread and totally forgot Lovecraft.
