And under absolutely no circumstances should you put these on.

That's honestly a helluva chastity device. Ain't no one tryna fuck with them on

Fun fact in the original Lovecraft mythos the Necronomicons were normal ass books that just happened to hold eldritch and arcane knowledge. Im sure anyone who has had the misfortune of opening up a copy of Wealth of nations or Capital knows the feeling.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Well, normal is a stretch. It was still forbidden to read and written by a madman in his own blood, driving anyone reading it at least partially insane.

Lovecraft was basing it on The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers. The character itself also appears in the Lovecraft pantheon as Hastur.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that counts as a normal college paper, but yeah it did have some secondary properties to it. But it wasnt bound in flesh or anything, plus by Lovecraft standards thats still pretty tame.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it being a normal book on the outside is actually scarier. The knowledge in the book was dangerous, not the object itself.

I would never open the Book of the Dead from Evil Dead but I might open the Necronomicon if I find it at an antique bookstore or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Which is also why it works, much like most threats it looks utterly mundane on the outside but once ya look closser you see its true threat. A good example is an old crate of dynamite which may look fine externally but its likely the nitroglycerin has seeped out and if you move that crate you are being annihilated.

There! I said your damned words alright!

It's sad how many people here don't know what the meme is from.

We need that buddy cop movie

What harm ever came from reading a book?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I remember laughing so hard at that, when I saw in the theater, that everyone around me was like, “SSHHH!”

I couldn’t help it. That was one of the funniest things in the whole movie.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My thought has always been, "who the hell grabs a book like that?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Same because the only answer is “someone who hopes it’s sentient”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It looked like he was trying to just flip the front cover open, to see if he could determine which book was the real one before taking it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Army of Darkness, aka Evil Dead 3 (although you don't really need to see the first two and it's much less horror and much more comedy than the first two as well).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Evie became a rich adventurer badass married to Brendan Frasier, so it worked out alright for her.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Brendan Fraser. Wow, what a roller coaster. I’m glad he’s doing well again. I like him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I have a necronomicon, but it has very basic binding, and I haven’t read it.

It was a housewarming gift that made me go “the fuck mate, you want me to die and leave the house to you or what?” Which was apparently the exact right response.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Naw, man, that's just the cookbook that tells you how long to leave the one big crumb in the bottom of your air fryer.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I often judge a book by it's cover, because the back cover usually tells me what the book is about.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The exception that proves the rule?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

You can't tell me wh........... YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! ......MUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck Lovecraft.

Anyways, I started reading The Light Fantastic and I spotted a parody called “Necrotelicomnicon” which is described of pages made of lizard skin.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's from the Evil Dead movies (and TV series). It was inspired by Lovecraft, in that the book is called the Necronomicon, but that's about as far as it goes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Technically its the "Necronomicon ex Mortis". Which of course means "Book of the Dead of the Dead"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still, don’t like that the name is shared.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Like it or not, Lovecraft inspired a vast amount of modern horror. Yes, he was a horrible racist piece of shit. That can't really be helped.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The plot of Evil Dead Rise wouldn’t have happened either if they followed this simple rule

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just like Evil Dead, it's those damn Devil made phonographs causing all this ruckus!

Depends, if this is a personal curse or like a curse on humanity as a whole.

Because of its humanity as a whole I might just open it anyways ya know just to keep things interesting. Gotta be better than what the rich fucks are doing ¯⁠\_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Well did you see how it sucked on his hand though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Wait I've got an idea. Let's make Chat GPT read it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Soul Sacrifice was a fun game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
