In May of this year, historically transgressive SF monthly Weird Tales launched a year-long tribute to one of its greatest writers, cosmic horror scribe Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Lovecraft's work fills a lengthy bibliography, and now it can fill the walls of your (no doubt sci-fi-themed) living room as well. Inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos — the Lovecraftian universe of tales that focuses on the extraterrestrial deities who inhabit our world — artist Steven Archer is creating one painting a day for sale at the Weird Tales blog. So far he's had plenty of eerie, supernaturally lovely hits, and there are 235 days to go in the series Weird Tales is calling "Blasphemous Horrors." More »

This new Cthulhu movie poster keeps main character Professor Russ waiting for both the doomsday cult and the titular creature from the deep. Cthulhu is set in in Russ' hometown, a quaint little fishing village. When he returns to his old stomping grounds, Russ gets sexed up by old lovers, finds his father is the leader of a doomsday cult, and uncovers a plot to end the world. No pics of the monster yet, though Cthulu actress Tori Spelling should tied your fish-face needs for now. Click through for the entire poster, plus the trailer. More »

Make sure that sinks into your cranium before proceeding further.

Unless you want to use the term "monster" metaphorically. Which we do. More »

Guillermo del Toro is bringing H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains Of Madness to the big screen in 2010, although it sounds like he'll be juggling duties on that film while trying to make two simultaneous The Hobbit feature films. After working with a vampire, a fairy tale, a red-skinned demon, and a hobbit, he'll be bringing us shoggoths, and it's about damn time. He also wants to stay true to the original source material which he describes as "a National Geographic special on a crew that disappeared in an exploration mission." More »
