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.

Lovecraft was pretty asexual, but made up for it by being super rascist.

My sister and I always quote this movie.

"It's... So .. beautiful!"

"Touch me, if it pleases you!"

Shares some of the cast with The Reanimator as well.

Made right after Reanimator with a lot of the same people working on it behind the camera. Stuart Gordon's first movie was Reanimator this is his second.

Reanimator is much more famous but I like this one better.
