Synopsis

The narrative follows a professor who experiences a profound amnesia. As he struggles to reclaim his memories, he is haunted by vivid and disturbing dreams that hint at his past experiences during the time his consciousness was displaced.

Peaslee by M.S.Corley

He unaccountably sees strange vistas of other worlds and of an ancient library city. When he is returned to his own body, he finds that those around him have judged him insane due to the actions of "the other" that possessed his body. While he was experiencing an alien existence in Earth's ancient past, the "other" occupying his body was experiencing a human one in the present day.

Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee - By miguelzuppo

The narrator at first believes his episode and subsequent dreams to be the product of some kind of mental illness. His initial relief at discovering other cases like his throughout history is withered when he discovers that the other cases are too similar to his own to be without a connection. The narrator's dreams become more vivid, and he becomes obsessed with archaeology and ancient manuscripts.

The Great Race of Yith by Pahapasi.

His tenuously held sanity is challenged when he discovers the proof he seeks—and that not only do remains of the ancient library still exist on Earth, but also the remain of those who destroyed them...

Known by the innocuous moniker La Rotonda del Mar or The Rotunda By The Sea, the surprisingly sinister installation is the work of Guadalajaran sculptor, Alejandro Colunga. The eight bronze thrones, unveiled at the end of 1996, are positioned at irregular intervals around a stone circle, with the sea lapping right up to the edge. The tall, amorphous chairs are topped with impressionistic sea creatures like an octopus and a seahorse, that seem to be parts of the thrones themselves. Many of the seats are also supported by legs that end in claws or organic “feet,” making them seem like strange, eldritch monuments. They seem to have been designed with whimsy in mind, but the dark, Lovecraftian influences can’t help but shine through.

Horror fans who have never played the Arkham Horror tabletop game or read the H.P. Lovecraft stories that inspired it will still find plenty to love in Dark Horse Comics' new adaptation, Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time. Based on the sprawling Cthulhu mythology, Arkham Horror was originally a board game turned tabletop franchise that has players explore Arkham, Massachusetts while investigating means to destroy an elder god. Like its inspiration, the franchise is a stylized fusion of 1920s private investigator tropes and otherworldly cult horror.

Since its original release, the Arkham Horror franchise has inspired numerous books and expansions, and now it has its own comic series. Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time by Cullen Bunn and Andrea Mutti follows a young debutante and a hired PI as they investigate the disappearance of the woman’s sister following her abduction by an eldritch-worshipping cult.

While the first issue doesn’t show much of the dark magical aspects that readers know will follow in future installments, the series already promises a high-stakes adventure unafraid of delving into the monstrous horror it’s based on.

"Andrea Mutti’s art fills every scene with menace. Every panel has a hint of shadow and darkness, as if in this world daytime doesn’t exist, this Earth is continually locked in sunset.

If you’re a fan of H. P. Lovecraft or a good mystery story with horror overtones, pick this up – it’s the beginning of what promises to be a very haunting story..."

"The Shadow on the Glass is a fun Victorian Lovecraftian adventure.

The Shadow on the Glass is an exciting adventure set in the perfect time period for its story. The late Victorian period is well known for its near obsession with the afterlife. Seances were all the rage and mediums were celebrated celebrities. This atmosphere is the perfect place to have interdimensional creatures trying to invade Earth..."

"Something of a collector’s item for multiple reasons, this BFI blu-ray restoration of Daniel Haller’s 1965 chiller has a number of selling points to recommend it. It’s a late work from icon Boris Karloff, it features cult actor Nick Adams, and it’s a rare modern-day, British set outing of American International Pictures. The latter is surprising in itself, because this is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s The Color Out of Space, which dates back to 1927. Modernising a story from 1927 to 1965, then viewing it in 2024 offers a weird telescoping of baroque styles, and Die, Monster, Die! mixes genre elements in this strange cocktail of tropes..."

Novel by H. P. Lovecraft

The story follows Albert Wilmarth, a professor at Arkham University, who becomes embroiled in a mystery involving strange occurrences in rural Vermont. He is contacted by Henry Akeley, a farmer who claims to have discovered evidence of extraterrestrial beings, known as the Mi-Go, who inhabit the hills and are involved in bizarre activities, including mining a mysterious metal.

Art by Gesi An

Akeley claims to have evidence of extraterrestrial beings and their human allies. As the correspondence unfolds, Wilmarth's skepticism transforms into a mix of panic and enthusiasm, leading him to visit Akeley, who appears to be hiding critical information.

Akeley's increasingly erratic behavior and unsettling revelations about these beings lead Wilmarth to confront terrifying truths about the universe and humanity's place within it

"Lovecraft built a terrifying mythos through his works that have inspired stories and art for nearly a century. Video games, being the most substantial form of modern expression, are not immune to the influence of Lovecraftian cosmic horror. The Cthulhu / Lovecraft mythos lends itself to many genres of gaming, whether mystery, action, horror, or even slice of life, and game developers have not been slacking when it comes to creating great games with atmospheres of cosmic horror and mystery.

While the Nintendo Switch is usually known for its family-friendly games and light-hearted mainline titles, there are plenty of games on the Nintendo Shop that scratch the itch for players who want to experience something more existentially terrifying..."

"You've read HP Lovecraft books, watched adaptations of his work on the big screen, and even played a few games featuring his creepy creations. But have you ever read an HP Lovecraft manga? Back in 2016, manga creator Gou Tanabe adapted Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, one of the most infamous stories by the author. This has been available in two volumes for a while, but for a better option, you can pick up a new hardcover deluxe edition of the manga published by Dark Horse on July 9. Plus, it's on sale for a steep discount..."

"Dredge, developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17, turned out to be one of the best games of 2023. The indie fishing-horror game landed to superb critic and player reviews, sold over one million copies in the first handful of months after its release, and the revenue was even put back into the game to create some expansions.

When the many awards ceremonies came around, Dredge was a regular nominee, even being put up for four accolades at the BAFTA awards, including for its narrative and game design. So, with Hollywood constantly on the hunt for known IPs to reboot or adapt for the big screen, it only makes sense that Dredge would get a film.

Dredge looks to have the makings of a possibly intense horror movie on the water. Importantly, the production company bringing Dredge to live-action, Salt Kitchen, will be bringing in developer Black Salt Games to further adapt the story and world for the big screen.

In the recent past, Story Kitchen’s co-founder has helped to appease gaming and movie fans with the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. Notably, after a poor response to Sonic’s initial design, the team pushed back the film and adjusted Sonic’s eyes to better fit the iconic character’s in-game design.

The co-founder, Dmitri M. Johnson, has been on a streak of video game adaptations which also includes the upcoming Tomb Raider animated series, Streets of Rage, Sifu, and Vampire Survivors. In theory, this means that Story Kitchen knows how to adapt video games in a way that creates a coherent movie and sticks to the rules and established lore of the IP.

While a window for the release of the Dredge movie hasn’t been announced, a mini synopsis has been revealed. As relayed in this IGN report, it’ll be along the lines of “The Sixth Sense on the water,” utilising the blend of influences from Ernest Hemingway and HP Lovecraft to create a grounded, atmospheric cosmic horror story..."

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of puppets.”

I’m pretty sure H. P. Lovecraft said that, or something very like it. And if he didn’t say exactly that, maybe it’s because he hadn’t seen Cthulhu: The Musical! by Puppeteers for Fears.

Of course, that’s a joke. Because while Cthulhu: The Musical! is many things, “scary” isn’t one of them, nor is it ever trying to be. [One of the jokes in this R-rated puppet show is about how one character’s suicide from the story might be “too dark” because they don’t want to get “demonetized.”]

Cthulhu: The Musical! is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a musical, performed entirely by Muppet-like puppets, adapting H. P. Lovecraft’s 1928 short story “The Call of Cthulhu.” Early on, the show’s narrator, Bert the Shoggoth, chastises the crowd for being “lazy Americans” who aren’t familiar enough with the source material.

...

The jokes in Cthulhu: The Musical! mostly follow one particular vein: what you might call “Deadpool humor.” Lots of breaking of the 4th wall to address the audience directly, lots of meta jokes, lots of anachronistic references to modern pop culture, and lots and lots of sexual innuendo. A partial list of joke subjects includes Tinder, Japanese tentacle porn, Justin Timberlake’s DUI, Duolingo, and an extensive gag about Sonic the Hedgehog.

...

Whether you liked the jokes or songs, the puppeteering is probably always going to be the biggest draw for a puppet show, and the crew at Puppeteers for Fears really gave it their all, despite being shackled with the unenviable task of crawling around, often on their knees, to work the puppets.

In fact, some of the show’s best gags involved the inventiveness of the puppeteers, such as a scene in which the Inspector Legrasse puppet answers the telephone, achieved by one puppeteer simply sticking their arm up above the stage partition and making the “banana phone” gesture.

Puppeteers for Fears (top marks for the name) are touring the show around the States and some venues appear to still have tickets available. Report back if you go.

I never thought of it before, but, how exactly the Outer gods would see us? Are we repelling for them? Was Cthulhu actually trying to get rid of pests infesting his house?

I mean Yog-Sothoth doesn't exactly count as a god, it is actually far beyond that, more like the multiverse in one being (like Eternity from Marvel). Regarding the deep one, they are basically horny fishmen not too far beyond human. What i'm talking about is, how the Outer Gods actually see us?
