Wir wünschen euch Frohe Ostern

Selten trifft ein Zitat Lovecrafts so gut zu: „Es ist nicht tot was ewig liegt…“ Okay, das war nur ein blasphemischer Scherz, der mich aus jedwedem Himmelreich ausschließen wird 😀 Ich wollte eigentlich nur sagen: Wir wünschen natürlich allen ein Frohes Osterfest und ein paar geruhsame Feiertage. Ich hab es schon bei System matters gebracht und kann auch hier nicht widerstehen: Der Osterhase ist in diesem Jahr ziemlich gefährlich:

Also gebt Acht wenn ihr Hasen seht und macht am besten einen großen Bogen um diese hinterlistigen Kreaturen 😉 (Gefunden hab ich das übrigens bei Nerdcore)

The Last Lovecraft

The relic must be delivered to a descendant of H.P. Lovecraft.
– The Last Lovecraft: The Relic of Cthulhu

Da hat der Weltenschieber uns einen schönen Linktipp zukommen lassen. Vielen Dank dafür! :-]

Was soll ich noch großartig über Last Lovecraft erzählen, schaut mal beim Weltenschieber rein, er hat eine vorzügliche Zusammenfassung geschrieben und viele Links untergebracht. Hier ist auf alle Fälle der Trailer und der Pressetext des Films:

Jeff, a down on his luck office worker finds out he is the last living relative of horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft. What he doesn’t know is that Lovecraft’s monsters are real and will soon threaten the very existence of mankind. Jeff and his best friend Charlie are forced to embark on a perilous adventure and they enlist the help of high school acquaintance, Paul, a self proclaimed Lovecraft specialist. Together the three unlikely heroes must protect an alien relic and prevent the release of an acient evil, known as Cthulhu.

Sieht nach einem netten Film für alle Lovecraft-Fans da draußen aus. Vielleicht eine Art Gamers für Kultisten? ;-]

H.P. Lovecraft vs. Nathaniel Hawthrone

Question: If H.P. Lovecraft and Nathaniel Hawthorne got into a fight using broken bottles and lengths of chains for weapons, who would win?

Answer: Hawthorne. Lovecraft would find it beneath his dignity to fight.

Ich lese immer mal wieder in Joe Hills Blog rein und vor einiger Zeit haben ich einen laaaaaangen Beitrag voller Fragen & Antworten entdeckt. Dort habe ich auch die obige Frage gefunden. Mal abgesehen davon wie man auf die Idee kommt, so eine Frage zu stellen, glaube ich das Lovecraft ein würdiger Gegner wäre! Schließlich muss sich auch ein Gentleman zu wehren wissen.

Das einzige Problem bei diesem Kampf wäre nur, das Hawthorne bereits tot, bzw. untot wäre, denn er starb bereits 1864. Aber ob das H.P. aufhalten würde? Wer weiß! Was denkt ihr?

The Adventures of Lil' Cthulhu

Oh, Oh! Lil‘ Cthulhu is hungry after his long nap. What does he do? He eats his followers. Their souls make his tummy happy!

Ist er nicht niedlich? Entdeckt von moshe doc shirmon (siehe Cthulhu-Forum)

Echte Handarbeit

Handarbeiten waren immer schrecklich! Ich habe das damals schon in der Grundschule gehasst, glücklicherweise war das auch die einzige Zeit in der ich länger mit Wolle gearbeitet habe. Jedenfalls gibt es ein paar Leute die können das ziemlich gut und die haben sich an cthuloider Handarbeit versucht und das (hier, hier und noch hier) sind schon ein paar hübsche Ergebnisse oder nicht?

I had a Shoggoth…

…he pleased me, but drove me to insanity.

Ich wusste gar nicht das Lovecraft und seine Schöpfungen auch so viele Musiker ansprechen. The FuMP hat ein schönes Kinderlied umgedichtet (gefunden bei den Blutschwertern):

Another children’s song, of the repeating-and-building-chorus variety. To be specific, a parody of the traditional song „I Had A Cat/I Bought Me A Cat“. Just… the songs you usually have, with kitties and duckies and puppies, simply aren’t up to the task of raising our kids. Don’t read the lyrics before listening to it, mmkay? Spoilery and all that. I was originally planning this for last week, but the banjo reminded me of „Stony Peak“, which is why both of them have banjo all over the place.

Und wer mitsingen will, kein Problem:
