Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
Rules:
- Please NO "Call of Cthulhu RPG" content (there are other great groups)

Nice post, it remembers me a quote from the cosmic horror movie Black Mountain Side (2014)
Worth the watch? I see it doesn’t have great reviews but that’s not uncommon with Cosmic Horror since it tends not to have much in the way of resolution or typical story beats
Don't expect any big monster scene. It's more like a paranormal thriller, but the atmosphere is something else. Especially the sounds effects, they get under your skin.
That makes sense though. The horror of cosmic horror is often too nebulous for many audiences and reviewers. I get why that’s not to everyone’s taste, but that’s also just a staple of the genre
Still i love the movie. Worth watching 👍
