H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Iโ€™m at work so I want to come back to this. I always thought this was a filmable Lovecraft story. It might have had an adaption on Masters of Horror like 20 something years ago too, thanks for sharing.

Very cool indeed. The other short o the channel "Pickman's Model" is also well made.
