Horror on the Radio

HP Lovecraft never desired his unearthly tales to be dramatized in the vulgar medium of film, and this foresight proved authentic. For Lovecraft and his cadre of weird fiction writers, the catalog of films is, at best (and this is being kind), mediocre. At worst they are more fear inspiring than any tentacular thing to ambulate out from ‘neath a crypt foreboding. Adaptations transform atmospheric works of dense psychological horror into monster/slasher flicks or pure hokum. Continue reading »

Great News!!

In an exiting turn of events, The Shoggoth Network, has just finalized negotiations with WotC (Wizards of the Coast). This is an exciting new prospect for us and we look forward to a exciting and financially rewarding future. I personally will be relocating to better serve our new employers, while the rest of the staff will be still telecommuting.

Non-euclidean Nuptials

Andrew “Marty” Dodge recently lured one Miss Alexandra Castel into his clutches, tying the preverbal knot February 23, 2003. Hail Eris.
