[Jesus Prime]

oi, do you think every thing i come up with is cheese?

I think the Cthulhu Mythos after 1940 is cheese.

Meh, have him be a Jehovah's Witness.

[E.A. Lovecraft]

I think the Cthulhu Mythos after 1940 is cheese.

It's usually worse than cheese. More like tofu.

[Jesus Prime]

Question - was the use of th Necronomicon in "...Mountain" too derisive?

[E.A. Lovecraft]

Haven't read it yet.

[Jesus Prime]

She's in the featured writer's section, very fisrt story on my page.

[E.A. Lovecraft]

I've been wanting to read your other stuff; just haven't had the time to get around to it. I have a couple weeks off coming up, and will probably do so then.

[Jesus Prime]

Okay. I recommend ignoring the poetry, it's pretty much just me experimenting with sonnet writing.

[E.A. Lovecraft]

Wow, I haven't seen a sonnet in ages. You goin' old school on us?

[Jesus Prime]

When was I ever "new school"?

[E.A. Lovecraft]

Good point.

[Jesus Prime]

It's not that I harken back to the days of the original Mythos writers, but to their pedecessors.

[Yog-Sothoth]

say, in the movie Necronomicon, Was that supposed to be Cthulhu in the first part of it? i think it was called The Drowned.

[Aleister]

I think it was suppose to be a Deep One, although not very realistic.

Here is my old summary of the movie I used to have on the page:

-----

'Necronomicon' has three stories, which are surrounded by an outer story.

It begins in the fall of 1932 with our narrator Howard P. Lovecraft (played by Jeffrey Combs) discovering that a copy of the Necronomicon is being held in an American library closely protected by a special order of Omjahdi monks.

He arrives at the library having obtained an appointment and informs the monk that he is doing a fact check for a story. As the monk is retrieving the book he asks for (volume three of an alchemical encyclopedia), Lovecraft steals his keys. He is warned not to leave the designated area, and then the monk departs.

The words of the monk do little to stop Lovecraft as he serches for his goal, making his way downstairs and passing through the locked doors. The special room has another locked door much like a jail cell. He walks past the ancient books and relics towards a safe on the opposite wall.

As Lovecraft struggles with the safe, the jail door slams shut. In his dismay, he drops the keys through the grated floor and into the water below. The safe then opens and he retrieves the Necronomicon.

After pulling out his notepad and looking through the book, the strangely carved back wall to the safe emits an eerie glow as unseen machinery starts to turn. The back wall of the safe slides apart revealing another wall with a strange symbol. Unaware of this, Lovecraft starts to write the first story in his notepad.

Part 1 - The Drowned
Edward De Lapoer, the last descendent of the De Lapoers, returns from Sweden to the old House belonging to his uncle. It is a large house on the edge of a sharp cliff overlooking the sea. He is with an agent, who tracked him down in Sweden to give him the deed to the old house.

The main room is large and circular with a stained glass window on the ceiling and a camera view under the floor reveals a strange pillared watery room underneath. As they look around the house, the agent informs him that the place is in terrible condition, and that he would be better off selling it while it is still standing.

Apparently the house was once used as a hotel, and the land under the building is honeycombed with caves with water from the sea. As they continue to look through the house, Edward notices a portrait of a woman who he learns was his aunt Emma. She drowned in a shipwreck and her husband Jethro was devestated and soon died as well. He had fallen off the balcony onto the cliffs.

Edward remembers his own tragedy with the cliffs. He had been driving with his wife (or girlfriend?) Clara when a blown out tire caused them to swerve into the sea. Clara did not survive the accident.

As the agent is leaving she gives Edward a letter from his uncle as instructed in his will. She urges him once again to follow her advice and she takes her leave. Edward returns inside and reads the 60 year old letter from Jethro.

The letter begins with - "I am writing under appreciable strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. I can bear my pain no longer, I shall cast myself from this window...." - Which is as you will recognize, a mangled quote from 'Dagon'.

The letter tells of Jethro's turmoil after the death of his wife and son in the shipwreck. The film flashes back to this time.

After the accident, Jethro awakens and finds himself in bed surrounded by his doctors. They try to calm him and then give him the news about his wife and son, explaining that their funeral is taking place downstairs. He runs down and finds them laying out on tables with the funeral goers surrounding them. He has a breakdown and orders them to leave. He picks up a nearby bible, throwing it into the fire and announces that "any god who takes from me my only love is no longer welcome in his house".

As he holds his wife a strange figure appears at his door. He is covered in moss and looks like a typical gruesome Deep One. He informs Jethro that he is not alone in his time of need and then leaves. Jethro discovers that he has left a book wrapped up on the table (the Necronomicon) and he looks through it.

As Jethro touches the book he is shocked by it and it flies to the floor, opening to a page titled "Towards the Remedie of Untimely Loss'. It apparently contains a method of resurrection and he is then seen slicing his wrist open, collecting his blood in a bowl, and chanting an incantation - "That is not dead which may eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. In his lair Cthulhu waits dreaming." (Two lines they decided to mix together.) He repeats this several as he stands in the center of a pentagram drawn on the floor with strange symbols around it.

Jethro takes the bowl of blood and pours it into the center of the star where it drips down below. Lightning strikes and the lower chamber glows yellow while the outline of the pentagram glows neon green. He hears his sons voice and sees him standing. His wife also begins to speak and sits upright. They still both have the look of death. She seems quite angry she was left to die and both of them begin to shake as mud and then tentacles come out of their mouths.

Jethro is next seen on the balcony, his wife and son behind him, as he prepares to jump. Back in the present, Edward reads that his uncle can now rest peacefully knowing that his love guards the book. The letter ends.

Edward goes to the main room and discovers the pentagram is still visible under the large rug. He then searches for the Necronomicon in the bookshelves but to no avail. He then remembers his uncle's words and checks behind the painting of his Aunt. He discovers the book hidden behind it, inside the wall.

He repeats the process with the blood and the chanting and then is shown back in bed. A woman walks into the room, very wet, with dirty hair. He is very shocked and they talk about the accident and other things until tentacles come out of her mouth. He glances down and sees a very long tentacle from her back leading out the door and he grabs the sword hanging next to him on the wall, and attacks. She recoils quickly out of the room screaming. He runs down after her and watches her turn into a long tentacle, going back down into the floor.

A huge tentacled monster (Cthulhu?) is seen trying to escape from the green glow of the floor. Edward looks at the large metal chandelier hanging above and runs to cut the rope so it will smash down on the creature. It gets stuck though so he climbs up the rope, reaching for the knot holding it back. The creature begins to break through the floor and is tearing up the house as he climbs up. Just before it reaches him he decides to smash the stained glass window above. The sunlight shining through melts the creature into a neon green blob. The chandelier then falls, and it gouges the creatures single eye. A horrible howl is heard from the melting monster as Edward climbs up to the roof and looks out at the ocean, feeling safe now.

Back to the museum
Howard continues reading the Necronomicon, taking notes as he hears something under the water below him. He finally notices the back wall to the safe with its strange symbols and looks frightened. He soon returns to his notepad and starts the second story.

The monks are seen now. Having found the empty room where Howard should of been, one of them says "Would he truly be brainless enough to try?" to which the other one responds, "Of course, he's human!".

Part 2 - The Cold
A reporter visits Amy and her mother Emily in their Boston home looking for information on the strange disappearance of 11 people in the area. Amy's mother apparently has a disease which requires her to stay in very low temperatures.

The deed on the house is under Dr. Maddens name from 80 years ago, yet no one has heard from him and there is no record of his death. The reporter threatens to print a story if Amy does not give him the truth so she begins her tale of 22 years ago when her mother came to rent a room in the building.

When Amy's mother Emily rented the room, it was inhabited by Lena and Dr. Maddens. The Doctor is a very secretive person, and he is first met be Emily when her step-father comes to visit and starts trouble. Dr. Maddens stabs him in the hand with a scalpel, after she was hit in the head. The doctor bandages her up and explains that he will not be bothering her anymore.

Dr. Madden explains that he has a disease which requires him to stay cold. After they talk, Emily returns to bed, dreaming of walking in on the doctor drilling holes into a patient's back. When she wakes, she tells him of the dream. He is cutting the bandages off her head when he accidentally slices his hand and a strange clear liquid comes out.

A short time later, Emily is looking for a job at a diner across the street. She notices some police officers investigating the disappearance of her step father, and returns to question the doctor. He explains he could not pass up a live specimen. She runs down stars and he comes after her, trying to calm her, but he gets a bit too hot and the same strange liquid drips from his face.

He shows her the Necronomicon and says that it holds the secrets of preserving life. Taking a visit to his special greenhouse (cold not hot?) he injects a dried rose with a special solution and it instantly blossoms to life. The two of them get more physical, and Lena discovers them.

Lena comes up behind Emily later with a knife, informing her that she can either use it on Emily, or herself. All she wanted was the love of the doctor apparently. Shocked, Emily runs out of the room and leaves the house.

Emily later finds out she is pregnant by the doctor, and she returns to the house to give him the news. She finds the doctor and Lena trying to hold down a new specimen (possibly Emily's father who was looking for her). In the struggle, some bottles are knocked over by the doctor and a fire is started. The intense heat causes him great distress and he runs out of the room.

The doctor says that without fresh spinal fluid he looses his senses. There is no other way to be able to smell, taste, feel, etc. He continues to melt while apologizing, and Lena sneaks behind and shoots Emily. The doctor is outraged and in a frenzy begins to rip himself apart as he disintegrates into slime. Before Lena shoots again, Emily tells her about the baby. She is kept alive because she carries the doctors only child.

Back to the present. That child is Amy, the woman speaking to the reporter. The reporter asks why there were still disappearances after the doctor's death. He thinks that this did not all happen to her mother Emily, but to her. She admits this is true! She never survived the gunshot from Lena, and it was Lena who brought her back from death to have the child.

The reporter realizes he has been drugged (the tea he drank) and is in danger of loosing his spinal fluid! She says she needs it to be able to feel the baby inside her. For years he has been inside her but never born. All she can do is hope. At this time, Lena (who had been pretending to be her mother) comes in with a syringe.

Back to the museum
Howard begins to hear voices and looks around curiously. He picks up his cane but does not see anything. At the same time, the monk comes downstairs and tries to open the door, finding it locked. Howard picks up his pen again as the walls behind the safe continue to slide back.

Part 3 - Whispers
Two police officers are in a high speed car chase after a man called the butcher. The two officers are talking and it is revealed that the female officer is pregnant by the other. She says she is scared to be a mother.

After driving for a while the butcher stops his car in the middle of the street and gets out. The police car hits it and flips over, hurting them badly. She looks over to see her partner being dragged out of the car by the butcher, and she struggles to get free.

She is badly injured, but follows the trails of blood from her partner through the alley and into a building. She continues searching down a long hallway and ends up at an elevator. They must of went down it. Running to look for the stairs, she falls through the floor of the old building and barely survives the fall. When she revives, she discovers a man nearby who knows of the butcher. He says he owns the building and the butcher owes him rent.

While leading the officer downstairs they meet up with the strange man's wife. The officer is taken into their apartment deep in the building, where they speak of the butcher. The wife says the butcher is an alien, while the husband later says that he is simply here to kill aliens. They are both very strange. She glances upon a book on the table (the Necronomicon) but doesn't recognize it.

The couple show her into the tunnel where the butcher goes, lighting up torches as they proceed. The walls are ancient and carved with markings and images, and they soon arrive in a central room with a large hole in the center and a rope ladder. The man puts on a pair of rubber boots, which the officer remembers seeing on the butcher, and she questions him. At this time, his wife comes up behind her, and covers her with burning oil. The officer falls into the hole and they pull the ladder up.

In the lower room, there lay the remains of countless bodies sprawled about. Blood is covering everything as well. Her partner is found to be down there, in a zombie-like state, with the back of his head blown out. She fights him off until his body rips open and a big bat-like creature comes out. The creature speaks in her partners voice through a weird mouth, and it is revealed that his brain is in its transparent stomach, talking through the monster.

More of the strange bat-like creatures come out from the walls and surround the officer. The couple tells her not to worry. The pain of being a human will soon vanish. She says this as she rips off her arm with an alien like saw coming from her mouth. The creatures apparently like human bone marrow.

She wakes up in a hospital, relieved it was all a dream. The couple stands before her, and it turns out the man was the doctor, and the woman was her mother. She speaks of her nightmares and they try to comfort her. They tell her that her partner is in the next bed, brain dead. When they uncover him, he looks the same as in her dream - dead and mutilated with his head blown in. She screams realizing it was not just a dream, but reality.

Her mother tells her not to disturb the baby with her screaming, and she says she thought it was now dead from the accident. The mother says no, and reveals her stomach to be the same as the alien creatures. The baby is seen through the transparent womb. She knocks her sheets off and discovers one arm and both legs have been cut off! The walls of the hospital fade and she is back in the strange ancient crypt. She screams more and more as the bat-like creatures surround her, eating the rest of her bone marrow.

Back to the museum
One of the monks comes up to the jail-like door and orders Lovecraft to open it. He explains that he cannot, as the keys have dropped. The monk becomes very angry and tells him to put the book back. Then ttentacles start to come up from the floor and grab Lovecraft's legs. The last back wall of the safe opens again and a bright light comes from within it.

The monk stretches his body (very weird) through the bars of the door and enters. Howard takes the blade hidden in his cane and starts to stab at the creature below. The monk grabs Howard and they struggle, resulting in the monk's face being ripped off, showing an alien monstrosity underneath the fake skin.

The opening behind the safe becomes some kind of psychedelic tunnel and a huge mouthed tentacle flies from the opening. The monk tells Lovecraft that the information he has gained will cost a life as he holds him near the passage for the creature. Lovecraft takes his blade and stabs the monk, quickly moving out of the way as the tentacle rips the creature from the fake human body. Being satisfied, the doors of the safe all slam shut and Lovecraft runs out of the building, past the other monk who yells out that he will pay.

Lovecraft gets back into his taxi and drives off. He is asked if he found what he was looking for, to which he replies, "You might say, it found me!". He is holding the Necronomicon in his lap.
