The HP Lovecraft society's has done Two more Albums of this music! If only I'd know of this a month ago to give me time for shipping.

I'm shocked that 'Tentacles' isn't playing in a loop to give this blog the 'horrible supermarket' effect.

My heart has been warmed (or burned by Cthulhu cooking my soul in a light Béchamel sauce...).

The same guys also made a very good 1926-style silent film of Call of Cthulhu.

The scariest part of that video is the "singing." Blecccchhhhhhhhhhh. Otherwise =LOL=

Wow.

That pretty much made my day. I love it.

And after a morning of reading student papers, too. Thought nothing would be able to cheer me up.

You, too? Yeah, it's the last week of classes here, and I am buried in papers that need grading.

Following the link Nick so kindly provided up there I found...

The sheet music.

Yep. Cthulu carols. In four part vocal harmony.

That's just beautiful. Who's up for some door-to-door carolling?

Long time ago in elder days,
So the traveling cultist raves,
A great stone city, tombs and all,
Had sunk beneath the waves.

Hark, you fools: That is not dead
Which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death,
Yes, even death may die...

Let's us know that the Lord Cthulhu still hungers for us when he should be sleeping.

Those titles are way too comprehensible to be good for Cthulhu-fans. They need a few more glottal stops and 5 consonant sections.

We had a long drive last Saturday (12/9) to go to the graduation of our goddaugher Heather in Manhattan, KS. And this was the first CD we played. Our goddaughter's father a nd his girlfriend had a moment of cognitive dissonence, and the father, at least, went, "oh, that's the point."

For readers who grew up with holiday traditions other than Christian: Happy Hastur-kkah, and matunda ya Ithaqua-nzaa.
