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.

Halloween Ideas? (lemmy.world)

I moved into a creepy old house earlier this year, and now I'm super excited to decorate it for Halloween. I'm looking for some Lovecraft inspired Halloween decorations. I was thinking about for instance writing "Cthulu fhtagn" on the wall in fake blood, maybe like a pentagram. But I'm looking for better ideas too. So I figured, where better to ask than here. Bonus points if it's hacked together on a shoestring budget.

Respectfully yours, Bizzle

I've been really into projected Halloween decorations the last couple of years. I hang a sheer curtains in the street facing windows. I project videos of ghostly apparitions on them. Atmosfx has some good collections that would complement a Lovecraftian creepy old house. They sell for $40-$50 per collection and are 100% worth it.

If you happen to have a projector, a sheer curtain, and know how to find video files from less than reputable sources... You can don't have to spend any money at all.
