Thanks to College Humor, you can now dress properly to pay homage to the little known but highly fashionable Elder God, Tie-Thulhu. Tie enrolled at Miskatonic U., but after pledging Ω Ω Ω he shook off the maddening and wearying limitations of time and space and natural law and fraternaties, re-linked with the vast outside, and returned to the nighted and abysmal place from whence he had emerged.

David Milano ran an art project for a children’s choir in the weeks before Halloween where he put on some Lovecraft-inspired music (by AKLO) and told them abbreviated versions of Lovecraft’s Shadow Out of Time, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Call of Cthulhu. The kids—ages 8-14—drew the monsters.

The results? AWESOME! Check out the galleries at Milano’s website.

Artist Murray Groat places Hergé’s adventurous chracter in H.P. Lovecraft tales—the ultimate mash-up?

Tintin and friends are wonderfully and weirdly combined with Lovecraft’s Herbert West–Reanimator, At the Mountain of Madness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Call of Cthulhu, in these hilarious paradies. Since there are four of them, one must assume Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock survive.

Josie Campbell reports for Comic Book Resources on the West Hollywood Book Fair appearance (earlier in October) of Steve Niles, Mike Mignola and Hans Rodionoff talking about the influence of H.P. Lovecraft on horror comic books. Rodinoff disscovered his first Lovecraft short story on a camping trip, reading it with a flashlight in his sleeping bag. Mignola, a young comic book reader, was introduced to the old pulp writers through Robert E. Howard. While looking for more Howard stories, he stumbled onto “Weird Tales” and H.P. Lovecraft. Similarly, Niles was “digging around in books looking for stuff and I ran across Lovecraft.”

The trio also discuss HPL’s influences on their work and horror in general.

Guillermo Del Toro working on a Lovecraftian video game according to Platform Nation. Del Toro is a fan of Lovecraft, and has directed films containing allusions to Lovecraft’s mythos (Hellboy, for example). He’s also tried to get a film version of At the Mountains of Madness greenlighted for some time. As for the HPLish game, Del Toro is working with THQ developing a game he described during an interview with MTV as: “It’s horror…but it’s a very different type of horror game. It’s not survival horror. It’s truly a strange, geeky mix. It’s a Lovecraftian thing. Let’s leave it at that.”
