... Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born.



Just for your information.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. LOVECRAFT!

IA CTHULHU! IA SHUB NIGGURATH! BLACK GOAT OF THE WOODS WITH A THOUSAND YOUNG! IA F'TAGHN RY'LEH! IA IA IA!

ahhh, yes. i shall make a pilgrimage to his birthplace.
::sticks head out window::
ok i'm back.

And now, a moment of abject terror in his memory.

Errrr, WHO is this guy?

He was born in Providence? That seems so anti-climatic.

i can think of a lot of places around here that could have damaged his childhood psyche. gothic shit and gargoyles everywhere. you know as a kid he spent a lot of time at Butler mental hospital while his (mother?) went nutszo. that old cavern makes Bellevue look like the Ritz-Carlton

Emphasis mine.

Strangely enough, the faceless gargoyle-like creatures known as "Night-Gaunts" featured in The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath first appeared in a nightmare Lovecraft had as a child.

everyone is a product of their environment. if Lovecraft hadn't grown up in a gothic urban industrial setting with frequent trips to visit his mother in the mental ward maybe he'd have written love stories.

Actually, I think HPL's interest in horror stories was triggered by his grandfather's Edgar Allan Poe collection.

what a nice grandfather. as if the kid wasn't scarred enough from visiting mom in the mental ward. 'here ya go kid. if you wern't scared enough already, read this!"

Whoa, you mean to say someone actually got some in Rhode Island? Mr. & Mrs. Lovecraft got laid?!

Well, that in and of itself is noteworthy.

Happy birthday to H.P. Lovecraft then.

In a month...mmm...Fomault will be visible.

You bet.

Alred Hitchcock had his birthday just a short while ago. Masters of horror they are. On the plus side, we have more excellent reading/viewing material; on the negative, there are now killer birds encircling the building as well as an ancient submerged alien about to drive us all mad. I suppose you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Not to be a nitpick, but Cthugha (that giant fireball-monster that dwells near Fomalhaut) is a creation of August Derleth, not Lovecraft.

That's probably how they earned that surname.

(come on, you saw that coming!)
