Ia R'lyeh Tori Ftaghn!

Shub-Niggurath preserve us! The Olympian of Olympia, WA casually informs us of a new movie being filmed, by the title of Cthulhu, which is starring...(gack) Tori Spelling. Why not just stick Dean Stockwell and his tattooed hips in there somewhere and get it over with.

Fortunately, there is some good news to offset that bad news. Slashdot passes on the info that The H.P. Lovecraft Historial Society has completed its silent-film version of The Call of Cthulhu:

The DVD includes The Call of Cthulhu (47 minutes, black and white), the high-fidelity and "Mythophonic" soundtracks, a 25 minute "making-of" documentary featurette, two slide shows, deleted footage, a prop PDF of the Sydney Bulletin and more.

To appeal to Lovecraft fans throughout across the globe, this DVD provides intertitles in 24 languages including: Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Euskera, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Lithuanian, Luxmbourgish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Welsh. These aren't just subtitles either--they are the real title cards rendered tastefully in each language. If you thought the story was scary before, wait until you see it in Welsh!

This one, for sure, I gotta see. There's also a trailer available for viewing online.
