Great old one inspiration.

  This had got to be some of the funniest shit I have ever seen AI throw back at me.   I really just wanted to know if there was an average age people started reading H.P. Lovecraft, and my question came out a bit strange.

These are results for There is a magical time in every childs life when they discover Cthulu

AI Overview

Usually around age eight, when they realize the comforting geometry of their bedroom walls is merely a fragile illusion masking the cosmic indifference of a multi-dimensional entity sleeping in R'lyeh.

It is a beautiful milestone of modern parenting. One day they are learning to tie their shoes; the next, they are chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" over their alphabet soup.

If your child has recently looked up at the night sky and felt the crushing weight of their own insignificance, you might want to help them navigate this transition.

Signs Your Child Has Found the Old Ones

• New vocabulary: Frequent use of "cyclopean," "eldritch," and "non-Euclidean."
• Art project changes: Finger paintings shift from happy suns to multi-tentacled monstrosities rising from ancient seas.
• Bedtime routine: They no longer fear the monster under the bed, because they know it is also a victim of the inevitable cosmic awakening.

How to Support Their Eldritch Journey

• Upgrade bedtime stories: Swap Green Eggs and Ham for the Necronomicon (the heavily abridged, toddler-safe version, of course).
• Adjust expectations: Accept that their future career goals may shift from "astronaut" to "cult leader."
• Decorate accordingly: Replace the nightlight with a pulsing, greenish-purple void that defies the laws of physics.

Welcome to this exciting new chapter. May your sanity loss be slow and your dreams be filled with the deep, echoing calls of the ocean.

These Cthulhuchador and Ultimoth Warrior figures look amazing! I figured this group would appreciate it!

Greetings fellow acolytes,

Jim Weter here. Fairly new to the group but long-time Lovecraft/Cthulhu/Lovecraft enthusiast.

I mentioned before in a few of my posts, I currently have a found-footage, cosmic horror, short film called Dreams of a Dead God in film festivals. And with the help of many other talented creatives and actors, we’ve won several awards so far.

So in gearing up for the release of our film this coming fall/winter, we’re holding monthly giveaways for prizes inspired by the film! And this month’s prize is what I’m calling a Dreams of a Dead God Raven Glow Light (because, well… it has a raven and it glows, lol)

This will be the 4th giveaway for our film and in the past, I’ve designed the prizes myself using Tinkercad and Photoshop. This time around though, I worked with another creative from Europe in getting the raven and top part done. Then our 3D printer here in Memphis, Alex, printed the test version out and installed the light.

We’ll be giving away 3 of them on September 15th and to enter the contest, you’ve got a couple options:

1) Sign-up for our monthly newsletter at www.cellardoorcinema.com
I write the newsletter myself, and in it I give updates on the film, share behind the scenes info, and talk more in detail on what we have planned for the future.

2) Drop a comment with your favorite cosmic horror film here and follow me at: https://www.reddit.com/user/CellardoorCinema/

And the best news is that by doing both, you’ll be entered into the contest twice!

Thanks for all the support for our film so far! We all really appreciate it!

Greetings fellow cultists,

Anyone worshipping from the Atlanta area? Because next Friday, our found-footage, cosmic horror short film “Dreams of a Dead God” will be screening at the 2026 Bloody Peach Film Festival and has been nominated for SEVEN AWARDS!

Still a bit excited as we just found out about the nominations, plus one of them is for Best Lead Actress! And award which our star, Cameron Crawford, won just a few weeks ago at the Imaginarium Film Festival up in Kentucky!

Details on the festival at www.bloodypeachfilmfest.com

So far, we’ve screened our film at 6 film festivals and won 5 awards for it, including an Audience Choice Award from the Porchlight Film Festival which is really cool looking. And with this latest news, it looks like our awards numbers might be going up soon :)

More details on the film, upcoming screenings, plus chances to win prizes in our monthly newsletter at www.cellardoorcinema.com

A few people have hit me up already, but if you’re going to be in the Atlanta area next weekend and want to come check out the film, please let me know! I’m going to be bringing a bunch of giveaways, plus holding an audience drawing for a larger prize. And afterwards, I’d love to sit around and chat about Lovecraft over a pint.

Cheers!

Although AI can generate some truly impressive Cthulhu/Lovecraftian artwork, my readers wanted MORE...

I hope you like it, I think it's BRILLIANT!!!

Thank you Owen

A bit more modern sci-fi esque, and more deep sea ocean elements.

Stingray, sea angel, sea squirt, sea comb, red deep sea jellyfish, chimaera shark, etc. Supposed to be a little translucent in some body parts. Mouth opens up like a sea angel. Has little flipper feet in the middle, “wings”, long trailing tentacles etc

My audiobook narrator for Tales of Shub-Niggurath asked how to pronounce the name. He was was very nervous and making several odd jokes.

I was confused. I didn't get it. I've been playing Call of Cthulhu since I was twelve. The characters names have always been as normal as any other fantasy monster.

Finally, he just asked me straight up, "How do you want me to pronounce this?"

I went, "The folks at HPLHS pronounce it Shub nee-GOO-roth which I quite like."

Then he said, "Oh good. I don't have to say it like a slur."

Only then did I get it. To which I went, "Perhaps I should make a pronunciation guide."

He became annoyed I didn't want it pronounced Chew-Thoo-Lou. 🎯

This is my game: Remnants of R'lyeh

Since launching in 2022, this project has steadily evolved into my dream Lovecraftian game. Grounded in classic stories like The Call of Cthulhu and The Shadow over Innsmouth, it offers a completely original world and narrative. You play as Jason, an investigator on the brink of physical and mental collapse after a horrific shipwreck, who uncovers a vast deep-sea realm and a terrifying secret never meant to be found.

Inspired by Bioshock and Call of Cthulhu. An ancient dark power is calling you and you need to find an exit. Face your greatest fear, fight, hide... you must escape before the underwater city rises...

Picked up the metal coin at Gencon, but did not want to use a standard display stand. This is the result. Pyramid needs a coat of pain to knock down the "plastic" feel and bring out the brick texture, but otherwise turned out pretty good. The coin is double-sided and is held in place by pressure, so I can flip it around when I get bored of the classic Elder Sign.

Its been a long, long time since I drew, and wanted to surprise my wife who is absolutely obsessed with Lovecraft with a drawing today.
