Have Your Own Nightmare Before Christmas with this Cthulhu Ornament

Posted on 22/11/2019 by Paul Strauss

It’s that time of year. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. It’s time to set up the Christmas tree, string the lights, and hang the ornaments. But if you’re tired of all the jolly and festive holiday traditions, maybe you need to go with something a little darker for your decorations this year. This Cthulhu ornament should help kick things off quite nicely.

Created by the demented minds of Horrornaments, this monstrous green creature is sure to give your tree a fresh new look this year. With its beady little eyes and mouth tentacles, it’s here to torment and drive your house guests insane.

If you really want to create madness, I say cover the entire tree with these things. Or, if you’re craving some other creepy items for your tree, be sure to check out the rest of the Horrornaments collection.

Cthulhu Carved out of a Watermelon Will Haunt Your Dreams

Posted on 28/08/2018 by Conner Flynn

An ancient horror awakens… and it’s a flavorful summertime treat! Artist Valeriano Fatica recently carved up an amazing sculpture of Cthulhu out of a watermelon. I think he might have been commanded to do this. In his mind. By bad forces. Just a hunch. Once he carves enough of them, he’s going to reanimate them, which is gross because they may be in some people’s stomachs by then, and they will burst forth like something from Alien.

In the time-lapse video below, Valeriano will show you how to carve a Cthulhu watermelon for yourself. Just pay attention to what he does and you can have your very own watermelon of evil. Or simply let the evil guide you. The details are great on this thing, but the tutorial goes a bit fast. You’ll probably want to pause it about a million times, rewind, pause again, rewind and then look over at your creation and wonder why it looks like the Elephant Man. Just keep practicing.

You’ll get there eventually. Even if it takes you like 10 watermelons. Try hard enough, and one day yours can look this good too. Or you can just admire this one and move on with your life.

Bake the Cupcake of Cthulhu

Posted on 07/07/2017 by Shane McGlaun

What do you do if you are a geek who happens to love Lovecraft, and you also happen to be craving some cupcakes? Well you make cupcakes, sprinkle them with souls, and the bake them up in these Cthulhu cupcake liners. Just be sure to use lots of sticky green frosting, and consider using some gummy worms as tentacles.

The liners look suitably old and menacing with tentacles all over them. The verbiage going all around the cupcake liners is an excerpt from the Lovecraft story. It reads: “The Thing cannot be described – there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. God! The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.”

You get 50 cupcake liners for $4 (USD) from geeky hostess. That’s a cheap way to geek up and creep up your sweets and keep them from sticking to your pan.

Cthulhu Hourglass Counts Drop by Drop to Your Doom

Posted on 06/09/2016 by Shane McGlaun

This Cthulhu hourglass will count down the remaining moments of your life, leading your impending doom. Inside the hourglass, a gooey red liquid appears to be the same sort of colored, thickened goo that is used in those cheap toys you see in the mall.

It would be cooler with blood red sand inside, I think. Presumably, the hourglass is made from some sort of cast resin material and it’s unclear exactly how large the thing is. If you’re willing to take a gamble on all the unknowns, you can preorder your own for $36.99(USD). Entertainment Earth says that it will ship in January 2017.

The last time I needed a hourglass was at some point in the ’80s when I actually thought Yahtzee was cool.

Deadpool Cthulhu Plush is the Itchy, Wisecracking End to Your Soul

Posted on 29/07/2016 by Shane McGlaun

Growing up, my grandmother loved to knit me blankets with lots of space between the braids or whatever you call them in knitting circles. The thing I never understood is how is a blanket that has so much open space supposed to keep you warm? Also, why did my grandmother want to cover me with a holey blanket that itched like a million fire ant bites?

I can only assume that artist Kutuleras‘ Deadpool and Cthulhu mash up is extremely itchy and will do a terrible job of keeping you warm. Cthulupool also has something in common with chuck Norris, namely behind the beard is another face (or is it a fist?)

You can own this cute, strange, possibly itchy artwork over at Etsy for $31.89(USD). Only one is available so you should pay the oddly precise price of admission right now if you want it.

New Horizons spots snowcapped peaks on Pluto

Posted on 07/03/2016 by James Trew

Right now, most mountaineers covet the seven summits: the highest peaks on each continent. In the (very, very distant) future the big seven might be redefined as the highest peaks across the solar system. A whimsical thought, perhaps, but a newly-dis...

iam8bit Postcards from Space: Sender Who

Posted on 16/11/2015 by Lambert Varias

iam8bit recently concluded Postcards from Space, an art exhibition featuring postcards for fictional locations from books, comics, video games, toys and sci-fi and fantasy shows and movies. Fortunately those of us who didn’t make it to the exhibit can get copies of the postcards from iam8bit’s online store.

Each of the 39 postcards measures 6″x 4″ and has imagery from a different artist. You can buy copies of the postcards from iam8bit for $5 (USD) each. Here are a few more samples from the exhibit:

The exhibit also includes the Space Worlds Map, a 36″x 24″ print that has over 70 fictional worlds. It was made by Edison Yan, the artist behind the Videogames World Map. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go and stare at that Dragon Ball Z postcard for the rest of the day.

Cthulhu Yahtzee: Cthulhtzee

Posted on 06/10/2015 by Shane McGlaun

I’m a fan of board games and have been since I was a kid. I particularly like special editions of board games that bring a new dimension to the traditional game. This Cthulhu version of Yahtzee is a perfect example.

Rather than a plain red cup for your dice, you get a Cthulhu statue wearing wings that are clearly too small to get the creepy monster aloft. The dice that go inside the fancy cup are also special. They are a clear green with normal dots and a Cthulhu silhouette to represent the one. The Great Old One, that is.

You can pre-order yours now at Entertainment Earth for $29.99(USD), with the game shipping starting in December 2015.

The Best Part of Waking up Is Cthulhu in Your Cup

Posted on 23/03/2015 by Conner Flynn

Waiter, there’s a Cthulhu in my cup. Seriously. These fun and strange teacups are the work of Etsy artist VoodooDelicious. Sadly, you can’t drink from them as the beverage in the cup is fake. At least you can at least admire them in your kitchen, while also fearing them.

They certainly make for a fun conversation starter. “Is that a Cthulu in your tea?” You can get several different creatures in various styles and poses, like a Kraken, squid, an octopus and more. They are creepy, but cool and just a little cute.

I’m not sure anyone will ever want to drink a dark liquid at your home again. In fact this is a great way to get rid of unwanted company and make sure they don’t stay too long.
