I moved into a creepy old house earlier this year, and now I'm super excited to decorate it for Halloween. I'm looking for some Lovecraft inspired Halloween decorations. I was thinking about for instance writing "Cthulu fhtagn" on the wall in fake blood, maybe like a pentagram. But I'm looking for better ideas too. So I figured, where better to ask than here. Bonus points if it's hacked together on a shoestring budget.

Respectfully yours, Bizzle

Out of Mind casts an entertaining eye on the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), one of the early 20th century’s masters of gothic-horror literature. Made for Canadian television in 1998, the film offers an encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. Engaging in a kind of game around the writer, the film playfully winks at some of the themes characteristic of his work: the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures. Out of Mind draws its inspiration from Lovecraft’s personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth “beyond the wall of sleep”.

Lyrics:

I hath dreamed bleak and grim, desolate visions Of the pre-human serpent volk And communed with long-dead reptiles Silently watching through the ages in cold, curious apathy The unending sorrows and suffering of an abysmal humankind

I dare not again surrender to the deep sleep which ever beckons me Lest I in dread Shudder at the nameless things That may at this very moment Be crawling and lurking At the slimy edges of my consciousness Slithering forth from the bowels of their infernal pits Worshipping their ancient stone idols and carving their own detestable likenesses On subterranean obelisks of blood-soaked granite

I await the day when the claws of doom shall rise To drag down in their reeking talons the weary And hopeless remnants of a jaded, decayed, war-despairing mankind Of a day when the earth shall open wide And the black, bottomless, yawning abyss engulfs the arrogant civilizations of man Chthonic retribution shall ascend Amidst universal pandemonium and those who slither and crawl Shall rise again once more to inherit the earth

Liner notes (Nile is known for how comprehensive they can be):

>H.P. Lovecraft was one of the most influential authors or horror stories of the last century. The last few decades have seen Lovecraft’s rise from a forgotten author of phantasmagoric pulp magazine fiction to a subject of serious academic study. (A second major biography has recently appeared.) > >Lovecraft’s influence on other writers in the horror genre has been significant. His writing is considered to be seminal, and it still exerts a powerful influence on artists and film makers. A distinctive feature of Lovecraft’s ficton that sets it apart from that of many writers in the genre is his construction, as he wrote, of a “background of consistent and elaborate pseudo-myth”. Thus, his invention of the ultimate grimoire – the Necronomicon – was an important part of his fictional modus operandi. > >Lovecraft first referred to the Necronomicon in 1922 in his short story “The Hound”. (“The Hound” was later collected in the volume Dagon and Other Macabre Tales, which was published by Arkham House in 1965.) He would refer to the Necronomicon in several other stories. A circle of writers who were friends and correspondents with Lovecraft also started referring to the Necronomicon in their horror tales, which in turn solidified its “existence”. The fact that they would refer to the Necronomicon along with actual books dealing with witchcraft and demonology helped to sell the illusion. Inspired by Lovecraft’s lead, this literary “circle” also invented arcane and “forbidden” texts: Clark Ashton Smith’s The Book of Eibon, Robert E. Howard’s Unaussprechlichen Kulten and Robert Bloch’s Cultes de Goules and De Vermis Mysteriis were all forbidden books invented to add further depth to their spine-tingling tales of horror. The “Lovecraft Circle’s” practice of inventing “forbidden books” is very well documented. Not only did they “invent” such books, they even went to great lengths to create bogus histories, which only added to the illusion of their existence. > >Robert E. Howard first introduced Nameless Cults through his story “The Children of the Night” (1931). In 1932, Lovecraft came up with a German title for it – Ungenennte Heidenthume. Several of Lovecraft’s correspondents balked at this unwieldy title. August Derleth came up with the title Unaussprechlichen Kulten, which stuck, despite the fact that this more literally means “Unpronounceable Cults”: “Die Unaussprechlichen Kulten” or “Unaussprechliche Kulten” would be more correct. The reason for this debate amongst the circle of authors is clear – the German is technically incorrect. The adjective would end in -e for the indefinite plural, not an -n, to with: Unaussprechliche Kulte… If we wish to accept “Nameless Cults” as being the correct wording for an English translation, we would have to accept “Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten” as being the real German title of the work. The addition of the “Von” also allows us to keep the -n ending (perhaps even more appropriate would have been “Die Namenlosen Kulte”). In any case, although Lovecraft doesn’t mention this forbidden text any more than he does others, but he does give its publication “history” in the story “Out of the Aeons”: > >>“… a glance at the hieroglyphs by any reader of von Junzt’s horrible Nameless Cults would have established a linkage of unmistakable significance. At this period, however, the readers of that monstrous blasphemy were exceedingly few; copies having been incredible scarce in the interval between the suppression of the original Düsseldorf edition (1839) and of the Bridewell translation (1845) and the publication of the expurgates reprint by the Golden Goblin Press in 1909.” > >According to surviving correspondence from Robert Howard to Lovecraft: > >>“1839: Unaussprechlichen Kulten was published in Düsseldorf. Written by Friedrich von Junzt [read Necronomicon in Greek translation]. Von Junzt dies six months after returning from trip to Mongolia while working on second book. Less than a dozen copies exist of this edition. Von Junzt relates many stories of the survivals of cults worshipping pre-human entities or prehistoric gods, such as Ghatanothoa, Bran, and others. The principle obscurity of this book is in Von Junzt’s use of the term "keys” – phrase used many times by him, in various relations, such as descriptions of the infamous Black Stone in Hungary and the legendary Temple of the Toad in Honduras." > >Now, where all this dusty old literary shenanigans takes a more Nile-relevant turn of events… As I was working on this song “Unaussprechlichen Kulten” and driving myself nuts trying to figure out whether to stick with the original Lovecraft variant of the title or the more correct linguistic one, I got a call from Orion Landau (Relapse’s resident graphics genius). > >Orion, at the time was working on the cover for my “Saurian Meditation” side project. He contacted me for a quote that he could use for the CD layout relating to the album’s theme. I was compelled to reply, “Oh, yeah sure” (as if there was some book on my shelf ready-made with authentic quotes concerning reptilian meditative states), but on the other end of the phone sat stark silence. In that pregnant moment of silence, a thunderbolt struck me, as I had, of course, been working on the Nile song gathering as much information that I could find on the much-vaunted “Unaussprechlichen Kulten”. I laughed, and said, “What the heck. Sure, I’ll send a quote over. No problem.” So, with Lovecraftian invention, I fashioned a fictitious quote (from the fictitious Von Junzt) from his fictitious Unaussprechlichen Kulten. > >It worked so well that I went ahead and blew it up into a full-blown song. After “Saurian Meditation” came out, I got a rash of e-mails wanting to know where they could obtain a copy of Unaussprechlichen Kulten, as they had, of course, been unable to locate any of the supposedly existing copies. Try as I might to convince these insistent folks of the truth, they were steadfast in the conviction that the quotes were indeed authentic. Although I denied owning any such book, in their minds I was merely lying to them. They thought I was keeping the dreaded, “legendary” tome to myself. One of them, an obviously bright and thoroughly versed literary student from East Germany (who I will respectfully name here only as “Torsten”), was adamant on the subject, as he had managed to find an empty catalog reference (with the volume long missing from a library shelf in Prague) to an unrelated work by a German author of the same period (Hamburg, 1837) with a very similar name, Frederick von Juntz. In my mind, this coincidence only underscores the incredible, timeless power of H.P. Lovecraft’s works, and the ingenious way his fantastic stories continue to exert their mysterious, otherworldly power.

Eldritch horror, monsters, Cthulhu…These are the associations that spring to mind in discussions about Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The author is predominantly known for his distinctive and atmospheric horror stories – often referred to as Lovecraftian horror – which centre on the existential dread provoked by the vastness of the universe and cosmic insignificance.

(...) Lovecraft’s literary philosophy, cosmicism, emerges from his deep exploration of astronomy. Cosmicism fundamentally embraces posthumanist ideals in emphasising humanity’s insignificance in a vast cosmos, a theme vividly embodied in Lovecraft’s weird fiction. As he states: “It is man’s relation to the cosmos–to the unknown–which alone arouses in me the spark of creative imagination. The humanocentric pose is impossible to me, for I cannot acquire the primitive myopia which magnifies the earth and ignores the background.” (Lovecraft in Joshi 2013, 686) (...)

"We wrapped recording on Lovecraft Investigations 4 on Wednesday evening, and it all went very well indeed. We spent five fun-filled days on location in a (REALLY) remote house in the countryside, which gave us pretty much every sound environment we needed.

Most of the familiar faces were there, alongside some new people - we're introducing a couple of major new characters this time around. There were also, unfortunately, a few notable absences.

Now we're into the edit, which also involves cutting down each episode for the Radio 4 slots (BBC Sounds and the podcast apps will carry the full versions, which will include a whole story strand that will be absent from the Radio 4 broadcast).

We're expecting the series to be released in October and I'm teasing a major new story for Season 5, but we won't know for a while if we're getting the go-ahead on that from the BBC..."

New Lovecraftian FPS in Decadent. Developed by Incantation Games, Decadent is described as a story-driven first-person shooter that “combines atmospheric exploration, Lovecraftian horror and combat into an immersive experience.”

Decadent tells the tale of one John Lorn, a royal explorer and World War 1 veteran turned occultist. To make things even more interesting, as a result of a traumatic experience during his occult research, Lorn has become the host for a strange parasite. Lorn has traveled to the to the Arctic to follow the traces of a lost Miskatonic University expedition. At the same time, he’s also on a mission to save his estranged son. In doing so, his courage and sanity are pushed to the limit, and learn how much grief he is ready to cause in order to save someone he holds dear.

You’ll have at your disposal exotic weapons and special items, such as conventional 1920’s firearms to hexed pistols given occult properties, strange artifacts, and even alien bio-weapons. You’ll also be able to scavenge and customize your arsenal. You’ll need them as you venture into lightless forests, frozen tundras, underground lakes, timeless necropoli and more in your frantic journey to a land beyond all reason. (...)

> Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is an action roguelike with RPG elements.

"DwC talks to Richard Stanley. This is big. This is awesome. For those who are unfamiliar, Richard Stanley is the man behind the 1990 steam-punk cult classic, Hardware, the 1992 hallucinatory fever dream, Dust Devil, and 2019’s gloriously psychedelic, Color Out of Space...

While attending the Rhode Island Film Festival, Stanley announced that he was getting back into the director’s chair for an adaption of another beloved H.P. Lovecraft tale, The Dunwich Horror, a delightfully twisted yarn that sees the evil “wizard” Whately make a deal with a malevolent deity, receiving a lifetime of riches in exchange for offering up his own daughter to bear the offspring of this being.

That offspring, Wilbur, is a half-human, half-deity whose purpose is to bring about the destruction of mankind and make way for the return of “the Old Ones.” But Wilbur also had a twin brother, the titular Dunwich Horror. After Wilbur is killed trying to steal the infamous Necronomicon, this twin brother, who much more closely resembles their father, escapes and wreaks havoc upon the unsuspecting populace of Dunwich. It’s a fantastic story.

Fresh from his trip to Rhode Island to scout filming locations and attend the film festival, I was lucky enough to have a brief conversation with Richard about his upcoming film, Dunwich…"

"When one thinks of H.P. Lovecraft, his iconic short story "The Call of Cthulhu" immediately comes to mind. Much like his body of work, this tale has been considered a challenge to adapt to the silver screen, owing to the famed author's style that heavily relies on atmosphere, suspense, and cosmic and supernatural terrors that anchor on the unknown. However, in 2005, a low-budget silent film shattered the idea of the immortal story as “unfilmable,” providing one of the most faithful adaptations of his works, to the delight of horror aficionados, Lovecraft fans, and the movie-seeing public as a whole. Directed by Andrew Leman who also co-produced it with Sean Branney, and distributed by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, The Call of Cthulhu masterfully brings Lovecraft's writing to life through the conventions of an F.W. Murnau/Robert Wiene-esque monochromatic silent feature..."

I've listened to the French audiobooks of two Zealia Bishop stories, and the endings are so absurdly racist that I couldn't help but laugh.

In "Medusa's Coil" :

Tap for spoiler

The story ends with the main character saying something in the vein of "But worst of all, she was mixed race." I was completely floored.

In "The Mound":

Tap for spoiler

The main character reads about the horrors inflicted by an underground civilization on those who break the law, try to enter, or try to leave. This information comes from a conquistador whom they’ve kept alive to gather information on the surface world. A noblewoman from this underground society falls in love with the conquistador and shares family secrets with him, hoping to escape and live happily ever after. However, he reveals that he’s just using her to escape. When they're caught, she suffers the terrible fate he described. She's used For vile entertainments in an arena, has her head cut off, her body reconstructed, and is turned into a zombie that guards the gate she once hoped to escape through. The conquistador is spared, though, because of his importance. Despite being warned that there won’t be a next time, he tries to escape again. Eventually, our main character digs into the mound and finds a chamber, and the story concludes with something I can summize as : "I can't believe they did the same thing to white conquistador ".

"… I’m going to take a quick look at a Lovecraft work slightly off the trail of cosmic horror: The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath.

I have a fair amount to say regarding ‘Dream-Quest’ (and the Dreamlands tales in general), but that is for another day. Tonight, I want to look at an artistic tribute to HPL’s novel: Tom Sutton’s 1978 portfolio, ‘The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath’…"

On August 20, 1968, a monumental event took place that would alter the course of the Cold War. The Soviet Union, along with Warsaw Pact allies, invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring, a period of political liberalization and mass protest against the communist regime. This military intervention was a stark reminder of the geopolitical tensions of the time and highlighted the lengths to which the Soviet Union would go to maintain its influence in Eastern Europe. The invasion led to widespread international condemnation and had lasting implications for the region's political landscape.

In the realm of science and exploration, August 20th marks an important milestone. In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 2 spacecraft, one of the most ambitious and successful space missions in history. Voyager 2 was designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer planets of our solar system. It provided humanity with unprecedented images and data about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, revolutionizing our understanding of the solar system. To this day, Voyager 2 continues to send back data from the edge of interstellar space, a testament to human ingenuity and the quest for knowledge.

Turning to the arts, August 20, 1890, saw the birth of H.P. Lovecraft, an American writer who would become one of the most influential figures in the genre of horror fiction. Lovecraft's works, characterized by their cosmic horror and the notion of forbidden knowledge, have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists. Despite his lack of mainstream success during his lifetime, Lovecraft's legacy endures, and his stories continue to captivate and terrify readers around the world.

August 20th also holds significance in the world of sports. On this day in 2008, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won the gold medal in the 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics, setting a new world record with a time of 19.30 seconds. Bolt's extraordinary performance solidified his status as one of the greatest sprinters of all time and brought immense pride to his home country of Jamaica. His achievements on the track have made him a global icon and an inspiration to athletes everywhere.

In the realm of music, August 20, 1964, saw the release of The Beatles' single "A Hard Day's Night" in the United States. The song, which was the title track for both their third studio album and their first feature film, quickly became a hit and is now considered one of the band's classic tracks. The Beatles' impact on music and popular culture cannot be overstated, and "A Hard Day's Night" remains a testament to their innovative and enduring legacy.

These are just a few of the many significant events that have occurred on August 20th throughout history.

"Japanese artist Gou Tanabe made his first appearance at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Known for his manga adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novels, Tanabe first started with the publication of The Outsider in 2007 and has continued his work to now. His take on The Shadow Over Innsmouth was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. After meeting fans at the Dark Horse booth, he spoke with Anime News Network on his approach to visualizing Lovecraftian horror and publishing them in the seinen manga magazine Comic Beam. Joined alongside him were his editor, Hayato Shimizu, Michael Gombos (Sr. Director of Licensed Publications at Dark Horse), and Zack Davisson (translator for The Shadow Over Innsmouth)..."

Novel by H. P. Lovecraft

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.

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.
