    One of H.P Lovecrafts creations

    A very strange, dark and mysterious author
    Haven't read him for years, all of my books are in storage and somewhat difficult to get to. So I can't remember if he is worth reading or not.


    -------------------
    Edit:
    Just watched the clip (don't usually bother with the youtube links as I have dial-up)
    very well done, although the model of Cthulhu itself could have done with a bit more work

    I asked the same question, Darlene. So after consulting various great sources (Google) LOL It seems I should have just asked shanemail.

    Cthulhu is a monster-god from the weird universe of H.P. Lovecraft. For the curious, The Call of Cthulhu is one of the stories collected in The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre, published by Del Ray. It's also in Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, by the same. A warning to the curious, though, to really understand what's going on in Lovecraft and his circle's stories, you have to give them your undivided attention. :D

    Oh, and cool clip, and yes, shanemail is correct. The Lego Cthulhu monster could definitely stand improvement--he barely resembles the descriptions in the Lovecraft mythology.

    Ditto. I'm not old school, but I used to play 2nd, and later, 3rd Edition myself. And that is how I originally learned about Cthulhu and Co., as I checked out Wizards of the Coast's Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. The rest is history. LOL
