Lovecraftian Horror - Other Media

Other Media

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, the Dungeon Dimensions are the endless wastelands outside of space and time. Lovecraftian horrors dwell there, seeking to invade reality, and warp existence when they do.

In a lighter vein, the cult of Inglip portrays cultist zealots who take their dark commands directly from reCaptcha images, which, they believe, come mysteriously from their lord and master...often to very humorous ends.

The fourth episode of the radio horror show Evening Shadows, entitled Black Reef Atoll, is a direct homage to Lovecraftian horror.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
