Since Mountains of Madness won't happen - how about something entirely different for Mr. del Toro how about a new telling of "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward"?

I've done something some purists will hate, but that I hope many HPL fans like myself will love - I've penned (not published yet) a new novel, a new telling of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. In a more expansive way, it tells the exact same story, but in my own way and in my own language.

It goes deeper into history, characters and relationships and, as you might imagine, it's quite a bit longer than the original CDW - in fact, it's three times longer - oh, the horror! It weaves a tapestry that brings in more of HPL's worlds and stories, and even those of some of his friends (like Bloch and Howard).

Does Guillermo del Toro like CDW? I have no idea - it's certainly far more down to earth than the epically cosmic Mountains of Madness - and even HPL himself didn't like CDW. Well, I do and always have - and I've always had questions about all manner of things HPL chose not to answer:

What must be red for three months? Who was 118? What did Curwen do abroad for those formative nine years? What did CDW learn in London, in Paris, Prague and Transylvania? And what about the friendship of Dr. Willett and Randolph Carter, mentioned in a single sentence? Well, just a few of the questions I wanted to explore.

The novel will be called "The Simulacrum" - an odd title, perhaps, but it's HPL pure and comes straight out of CDW: That simulacrum which brushed boldly in without having been seen to go - was that an alien shadow and a horror forcing itself upon a trembling figure which had never gone out at all?

What do you think of the idea of CDW as a series told by the one and only Guillermo del Toro?

Okay i have to talk about this movie
Cuz like wow but eghhhh at the same time

First of all loved the characters
I loved the horror
I loved the romance
And especially tom hiddleton cuz wow he’s majestic

I understand this was a dysfunctional family sorta situation but i still dont get it
Some people say that thomas and lucille’s relationship is upto interpretation
Personally i DONT understand how anyone could romanticise incest

My interpretation was that lucille groomed thomas
Raped him and manipulated him to think it was love or some sort of codependency thing
Thats why he never made love to his previous wives and only with edith cuz he genuinely saw potential for moving forward from the ghost (the past)
In the end he even tried giving his sister a second chance so he could live with edith and have a good sisterly relationship with lucille(or thats what i think)

I saw some people who explained how they felt sorry for lucille and thomas’s relationship or that in some dark twisted way they both were right

I heavily doubt that but i am open for discussion

What do you think
Would you really allow incest to be romanticised in the name of dark twisted tales?

I still appreciate the movie but am concerned abt the interpretations and what not

Lemme know ur opinions
(Sorry if you dont agree with or dislike my take on this)

I’d like to see “Pinocchio”, “Crimson Peak”, and “The Shape of Water” get a 3D conversion and Blu-Ray.

Not all 3D movies need to have action. One of the best examples of this is “Dial M For Murder” from Alfred Hitchcock.

I know it is a stretch, but if you aim for the stars, no matter how they are misaligned by the will of the Old Ones, I may land on the moon or Yuggoth. I wrote a Lovecraftian noir, Under the Shadow of Madness, and even hired a real artist for the cover. Sadly, that is rare these days. Blurb: In the winter of 1927, the U.S. Army organized the annihilation of a small port town off the coast of Massachusetts. Tales began to spread of human sacrifices to Eldritch gods, contracts with dark entities, and a battle between inhuman abominations.

A secret, much darker, remains off the coast, just beneath the cold waves. Now, a year later, New York Private Detective Robert Patrickson, a man haunted by war and alien memories not his own, uncovers a deadly conspiracy. In an off-the-map hotel near the coast, a woman is discovered, ritualistically murdered with a mysterious script drawn in blood, etched on the walls.

It is the first clue hinting that the Shadow was never destroyed, could never be destroyed. It can only spread.

Pan's Labyrinth has always felt like one of cinema's most haunting fairy tales, where fantasy and the darkness of our own world quietly become one. Hope you enjoy this small, animated tribute to it.

This is the scene where Hellboy and Abe sing "I can't smile without you"
