Call of Cthulhu Available on DVD 163
An anonymous reader writes "The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is finally finished with the ultimate labor of mythos-love. The Call of Cthulhu is now available on DVD! For those not familiar with the long-awaited project, The Call of Cthulhu is a silent film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's famous literary masterpiece of the same name. It really looks like something that would have been shot in the 1920's silent film era. I, for one, welcome our new multi-tentacled, aquatic, ancient overlord. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn."

On Slashdot, there are alternate spellings for every word.

"Ïa" is. Look it up. And if the i-umlaut is pronounced as it normally is, it would sound like "ee-yah".
Great. Where else but on Slashdot would you find an imaginary, ancient, dead language grammar Nazi.

Henry Armitage, opening the show:
"A Shoggoth on the Roof. Sounds crazy? No, certifiably insane!
Chorus of Old Ones and Townfolk:
"Tentacles, Tentacles! Tentacles, Tentacles!"
My favourite is "To Life, to life, I'll bring them! I'll bring all these bodies to life!" It's hilarious if you're into both FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and Cthulu, which is admittedly a select group...

Back in my college dorm days one of the guys in the next room asked to borrow the paperback copy of Lovecraft which I was just finishing. Later that night, some time after midnight, there came a blood-curdling scream from his room. It seems the borrower had become totally engrossed in the book and was at his desk long past his normal bedtime. His roommate, awakened by the light, padded barefoot over to see what was keeping him up and happened to touch him on the shoulder.
