We laugh, but we also see a glimpse of truth?
Lovecraft wrote of the horror just behind our everyday life, of a layer hiding secrets that destroy anyone who learns them.
Mythos writing is very much like the world of a child, who knows there are secrets, but can't uncover them,yet.
Ever been lost in a city you didn't know well?
You suffer the same feeling of things moving, or being moved, that the victims of the Hounds of Tindalos are said to suffer, the feeling of things being changed to frustrate and bewilder you.
Walk through an adult entertainment zone at night, there are secrets there you'll never know, if you're lucky.
Stephen King did a bang up job of describing that in one sequence of" Hearts in Atlantis", where the mysterious Ted takes the boy to a very wicked place, so Ted can make a wager and aquire a road stake.
However, low men in yellow coats arrive.
It is said that as a child, HPL was lost in Providence for half a day, and wandered into the wholesale fish market during squid jigging time.
The tentacles! The Eyes! The smell!
Aieeeeeeeeee!

The squid jig is a device that catches squid in mating season, it reels them in on a pully arrangement.

Shoggoths do the Pasa Doble when the moon is full.

Why, there's lot's of room to dance down there!
The Giant Squid favors the lambada, or samba, while the Colossal Squid is mad for the tango in the inky, icy deeps, where Cthulhu's bandoneon echoes among the drowned and lightless canyons.
As the deep ones say, "It's Saturday night in Ry'leth, c'mon, let's POLKA!".
