'Tis the season, and Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Carol singing, Seattle style.

In the 1920s and '30s, writer H. P. Lovecraft wrote horror stories about Great Old Ones, giant monsters who slumbered beneath the waves and whose awakening would destroy humanity.
Or something.
Naturally, somebody else took this and created a series of Christmas carols from it.

I want to go caroling.
I have the sheet music for the following songs:
Death to the World
Look! Professor Angell Brings
Unholy Night
We Three Friends of HPL Are
The Carol of the Olde Ones
Oh Cthulhu
Awake Ye Scary Great Olde Ones
Dance the Cultists
Demon Sultan Azathoth
and on December 20th, I'm going to go caroling in downtown Seattle with whoever I can drag along.

It turns out there's also a Lovecaftian version of Fiddler on the Roof - quite excellent.

I do like a little Cthulhu with my Christmas Cheer

Sarcasm. Oh yeah, like that´ll work.

[affa]

for those who've ever wondered what squamous looks like...

[Darth Rock&Roll]

Teazer, that's a D&D mindflayer. Similar but different from Cthulu. Uses psionic power and is a shapeshifter.
cool monster actually, cool to see one on smokey doob.

[Teazer]

Sure - a "mind flayer" that lives in another dimension, carrying off an author called H.P. Hatecraft with people chanting in the background....
I'll give you there are definitely tentacles involved.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

lol, alright...but still:

Illithid or MIndflayer:


pretty fuckin cool if you ask me. I want one for hallowe'en next year!

[Teazer]

yup, sure does look like a mindflayer though!

[BaguaKicksAss]

[mrtoes]

I WANT ONE!!!!!
