Lovecraftian Horrors

Of course we all know Lovecraft, but what many don't know, is that he is the grandfather of an entire genre. Lovecraftian Horror is a genre that deals with the cosmic, the weird, and of course tentacles. Slender Man, Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and The Thing are all examples of Lovecraftian Horrors, monsters that can shape shift, are amorphous, can cause madness just by seeing them, or are at the very least, tributes to Lovecraft's writing. And today, we'll be talking about some Lovecraftian Horrors.

Hedorah

I'f you ask me, Hedorah put all of Lovecraft's Outer Gods to shame. Lovecraft would died from amazement to see Hedorah in all his pollution glory.  Hedorah all most deserves his own article this Halloween, but because we are talking about Lovecraftian Horrors, I had to include him.

Hedorah comes from the Godzilla Series, one of the last places you'd expect to a Lovecraftian Horror. Hedorah comes to Earth on a meteor as a group of microbes. The microbes quickly feed on the pollution of Japan's ocean and grow and evolve into four different forms. He also can change instantly back to each of these forms and then back again.

Watch his movie, it's incredible, and probably the strangest Godzilla movie ever made. It seems to be made for people on strong, strong hallucinogenic drugs. With cartoons, strange fish mask night clubs, and of course, Godzilla. So what more could you want in a movie.

Slender Man

If you've prowled the dark side of the internet for long enough, you know of Slender Man. I personally am somewhat new to the Slender Man Fandom. Only learning of him last year, I was immediately entranced by his faceless beauty.

Slender Man was created by Victor Surge on SomethingAwfulForums. And ever since he's been a huge internet success. Also, he's become a large part of the Creepypasta culture. He's probably the most iconic Creepypasta character ever, with Jeff the Killer following after him.

Hunson Abadeer
Hunson Abadeer appears in the cartoon Adventure Time as the father of one of the series' most iconic characters, Marceline. An ancient creature coming from the Nightosphere, this demonic creature makes his appearance in the episode "It Came From The Nightosphere" and comes to the Land of Ooo, to eat the souls of many creatures. By the end of the episode, he transforms into a badass, soul sucking, eldritch abomination. And then sadly he turns into a big softy after hearing Marceline's french fry song, which you can listen to on the internet, it's become a real song nearly.



That's it for now, this is gonna be a 2 part (maybe more) article, so to be continued.
