The ever perfect Grim Reviews have dug out a fantastic filmed interpretation of HP Lovecraft’s Azathoth story:

In 2004, the US gothic band Nox Arcana released Necronomicon, their musical ode to H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. A fantastic piece of dark audio art for all Mythos fans and musique noire lovers.

The Necronomicon is said to contain the lost knowledge of the Elder Gods, the ancient lords of darkness that held dominion over the Earth aeons ago. Believed to hold the key to opening forgotten gateways between worlds, the text prophesies the return of the Great Old Ones and contains forbidden rituals of summoning that will bring about their resurrection.
Now, for the first time ever, the Necronomicon is set to music with this dark symphony by Nox Arcana. This epic concept album based on H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary book of shadows features a mixture of exotic, dark fantasy themes with 21 tracks of ominous orchestrations, Gothic choirs, Egyptian and Middle-Eastern melodies, eerie voices and otherworldly chants. This musical grimoire is a spellbinding tribute to the Cthulhu Mythos—a powerful and sinister soundtrack to evoke your darkest nightmare.
This cd is dedicated to the memory of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, with special thanks to August Derleth and Arkham House for keeping the mythos alive.

Although the full album can be streamed on Necronomicon’s last.fm page (you can also listen to a few tracks on Nox Arcana’s website), I’ve done a little bit of research and collected the following videos that use the album’s tracks as musical background to display mythos-related slideshows. I’m still missing Eldritch Rites (track 10) and The Great Old Ones (track 21). If anyone finds them, please post them in the comments.

Teaser trailer for the upcoming HPLHS motion picture The Whisperer in Darkness:

Better quality and more sizes here.

This looks like an illustration of good ole Cthulhu done by H. P. Lovecraft himself for R. H. Barlow, dated 11th May 1934. Wow. Really?

The American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, known then simply as weird fiction. Lovecraft’s major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Originally aired on BBC Radio in 2006 with contributions from Neil Gaiman, S.T. Joshi, Kelly Link, Peter Straub, China Mieville and others. Divided in 5 parts.

I drew the following, as the date claims (and it is usually right), in early September, around the time I was reading H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories –a collection of fascinating, though perhaps aged, horror tales from one of the earliest and greatest masters of the genre.
It doesn’t have tentacles, as most Lovecraftian monsters do, but Lovecraft was an influence alright.

Toren Atkinson is one of the twisted masterminds between the wonderful lovecraftian band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.

According to Cyril Van Der Haegen, this is how Lovecraft invented Cthulhu and the Mythos:

And here is, in perverse details, the artist’s testimony on all the painting’s hidden secrets.
