The Miskatonic Acid Test

I totally have to see this. It looks awful!

It’s HP Lovecraft a-go-go in “The Miskatonic Acid Test“, the first feature from American Entropy Productions. It’s 1969, and cosmic horror infects a psychedelic rock “happening” in witch-haunted Arkham, Mass. It’s a zonked out brew of poetry, philosophy, cosmic horror, and 60’s-style acid rock; probably the first horror movie that’s more heavily influenced by the Monkees’ “Head” than by George Romero… This is the official trailer.

tentacled glory above, and below nothing but darkness and the gnashing of teeth

Above, there is a blaze of glory
and beneath,
nothing but darkness,
and the gnashing of teeth.

my god, it’s full of stars

No, really. Watch this astonishing video of a Gonatus Onyx Squid with its brood from Brad Seibel, via Pharyngula. It starts slow, but the wait is worth it. (title heartlessly stolen from Tlonista in Ph‘s comments section; what can I say? It was just lying there, glimmering temptingly)

The Science Pundit adds some useful info in Pharyngula‘s comments section:

When Brad Seibel‘s 2000 paper suggested squids brood, it was called “erroneous.” Years later when Seibel had the opportunity to direct a submersible he captured this footage confirming his hypothesis. Take that, cephalopod traditionalists!

What more is there to say? These are the best damn Cthulhu buns I’ve ever seen, and they’re really hot!
