So, instead, have some Elder Godly goodness, fresh from the Mountains of Madness. I figure, if my brain wants to be broken, I should just go with it.
Let's start with Cthulhu Ftagn:
If that last clip didn't devour your soul or destroy your sanity, there's more below the cut:
Faux Trailer for At The Mountains Of Madness. (I would totally watch this if it were a film.)
The Mountains of Madness (animated short). (Hey, look, it is a film! Sort of.)
The Shadow Out of Time. (Another short film of a Lovecraft story.)
Y'know, it never occurred to me until I saw that animated short that the Thing from John W. Campbell's "Who goes there?" and the movies based on same might owe something to the shoggoths.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting point. I'm familiar with the movies, but I've never read the short story - I wonder how much similarity there is between "Who Goes There?" and "At the Mountains of Madness".
ReplyDelete...I wonder if "Who Goes There?" is available for Kindle...
::goes off to look::
Why yes, yes it is.
IIRC, there's not much similarity between the two stories, but there are certain similarities between the Thing and a shoggoth in that their shapes are infinitely variable, and they've both in the frozen Antarctic waste for who knows how long. BTW, I read "Who Goes There?" years ago, but I've never seen the movies based on it.
ReplyDeleteCthulhu Ftagn: Great stuff!
