Books / Nerd "He's Called the Crawling Chaos, 'Cause He Can't Walk Yet"

Posted by on Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 4:32 PM

This seems like a pretty appropriate video to watch just before Halloween weekend:

I appreciate how the narrator gets all the tricky Lovecraftian pronunciations exactly right.

Adorable! I'm going to a Lovecraft-themed Halloween party tomorrow. My costume is 'sexy Mi-go.'

i think the names are actually impossible to utter with human capabilities. and to hear them would drive you madness.

They got all the pronunciations right except for "Cthulu." Apparently, according to Lovecraft himself, the C is silent.

Cthulu is the closest sound that humans can utter that is vaguely similar to the sleeping one's true name. Albino penguins were missing from this production.
