There also was an early “X Files” episode, if I recall...
Perhaps it was buried under 2.5 miles of ice for a few million years for a reason............
In former soviet Russia, bacteria find you...
Love that movie!
I blame globull warming. We are so doomed.
There’s was one in the 50’s with James Arness as the monster.
“Watch the skies, watch the skies”.
We were on the track ahead as the nightmare plastic column of foetid black iridescence oozed tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus; gathering unholy speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the pallid abyss-vapour. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway traina shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter. (H.P. Lovecraft - At the Mountains of Madness, 1931)
“Do not call up what you can not put down.” ;)
Read a lot of his stuff as a teenager in the late 60’s early 70’s..........
They both stole the idea from H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains of Madness”, from the 1930’s.
Yeah, I read him a lot as a teenager too. I guess there is something about his stories that resonates with alienated teenagers :)
I was, and still am, into Sci-fi and weird stories like that, Heinlein, Asimov, Herbert, Clarke, et al.........
The man could torture prose better than anyone. You can almost hear Mrs Lovecraft in the background saying “Honey, quit rambling and come to bed so Miss Frisky can ride the Love Pony”.
Lovecraft wrote like he was going to get a lash for every word he missed in the dictionary.
Ah you see... there was no Mrs. Lovecraft, he was a permanent bachelor who lived with his mother. Of course, that probably explains a LOT.
I’m more of a casual fan of all of those guys. I’ve read a few stories from each of them, but I’ve never gone and read their whole catalogue like the die hard fans. I did read most everything by Lovecraft, but that was mostly because he wrote a lot of short stories and the paperbacks were cheap :)
Loved the newer one. Great prequel to tie it all together. It was very well done...
When I was 8 I fell and broke my arm, the doctors
were incompetent and they had to break it and reset
it 5 times. Ether was in use at that time and lovecrafts
description is almost exactly what I saw EACH TIME.
They finally had to hold me down to put the mask on.
My parents finally woke up and took me to a specialist.
He cut the cast off manipulated my arm, put a new
cast on and I’ve been good as new ever since.
Honestly, it looked like a glowing brain with eyes
set all around it, filling the cavern and persuing
me until I reached a dead end at which time I blacked
out. Can see it today.
