Happy Birthday, H. P. Lovecraft
Posted on 08.20.07 by Widge @ 10:58 pm

H.P. Lovecraft is 117 years young today. To celebrate, here's a bunch of Lovecraft-related goodies. First up, let's listen to The Neil give his thoughts on Howard. I think he speaks for a goodly number of us:

Update: They took down the bit. If anybody relocates it, please let me know.

We agree with The Neil's assessment. Lovecraft's beasties are supposed to be indescribable, so visual media dealing with the mythos are at a distinct disadvantage. However, one film we think stands above all others. The trailer and more fun after the jump:

For those of you who can't get take a ride on one today to celebrate, we offer up photo responses to the classic xkcd comic, which we've discussed previously.

Also, you can check out these previous roller coaster posts:

Ah, Steve. Even though these days you seem to alternate between serious indies and cheesy remakes, we still love you, deep down in the sub-cockle regions of our hearts. Thank you for being the wonderful whackjob you are.

The biggest problem is deciding which clips to use to pay homage to you, sir. You've done so much funny shit in your time. There's one no brainer we've posted previously. But I think this next one is simply necessary:

Happy Birthday, Alfred Hitchcock

Happy Birthday, Lucille Ball

The I Love Lucy show is available on DVD from Paramount.
