Lovecraftian Horrors part 2


And here begins the second part of the Lovecraftian Horrors article. Time to talk about more ancient, eldritch creatures and beings.

Red
 Red is one of many Lovecraftian Horror from the NES Godzilla Creepypasta. I really can't say if Red or the game is the Lovecraftian Horror though, but I like to think that Red is the Horror. Every creepypasta fan knows Red, but just in case you don't, Red comes from the world Zenith, a demonic world full of fucked up shit, like flying tape worm things, creatures made entirely of other Godzilla monsters. and of course Solomon!!! Red is one of my favorite creeps, and I really hope he makes an appearance in Godzilla Replay.





Pennywise the Dancing Clown
Pennywise the Dancing Clown, also known as It, the main antagonist from Stephen King's It, is a pretty famous Lovecraftian Horror. An ancient creature, that wakes up ever once in a while just for the sake of eating children... YAY!!! I've never read the book, I never really plan to, because of how freaking large it is, but I have seen most of the mini series, which I plan to finish sometime soon. Pennywise the Dancing Clown takes the form of your fears, but seems to enjoy being a clown most of the time. I guess he uses the clown so much because it's such a common fear, and well, it's fucking creep as hell in the movie. Of course everyone knows it's Tim Curry playing Pennywise, but What a lot of you don't know, is that that's Tim Curry's real hair.

The Thing
The Thing is one of my favorite monsters ever. Coming one of the greatest movies ever, and a personal favorite of mine. A great example of a Lovecraftian Horror, as is the movie, using xenophobia, paranoia, and of course weirdness.

One of those creatures that can transform itself, which most Lovecraftian Horrors can. The creature comes from an ancient spaceship, which crashes in the Antarctic. After which, thousands of years later, a Norwegian crew digs them out of the ice. And of course, it starts killing people one after another, and then Kurt Russel finds it later on. After the others find it, they all get killed and assimilated, except for Kurt Russel and Childs.

And so that's it. Maybe we'll do another part of this series, we'll just have to wait and see.
