Now with samples!

A Shoggoth on the Roof: the Cast Album

HoopyFrood · 19th February 2007, 06:59 PM

Hahaha! Freaking genius!

I've just listened to 'Tentacles'...Tenttttaclles! TENTACLES!

And that, boys and girls, is how the Shoggoth stays on the roof.

Right, now all that's left to decide is...Who wants to buy it for me?

Curt Chiarelli · 19th February 2007, 08:42 PM

We'll take up a collection Hoopy.

If I Were a Deep One . . . . Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Dooo . . . .

That's a wonderful little thing. Okay if I post my birthday and address here ... hopefully everyone will the hint.

One of these days... I'd actually like to see someone do a production of the silly thing! Incidentally, you folks might find this of interest:

The Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to the Cinema of H.P. Lovecraft

HoopyFrood · 22nd February 2007, 10:17 AM

Hah! Ah, 'tis a shame that they didn't actually perform it...an all-singing, all-dancing production of the work of H.P Lovecraft is something the world greatly needs!

Nesacat · 22nd February 2007, 10:25 AM

and JD says that Chtulhu actually sings on a stage ... imagine that. A huge version tentacles and wings and all singing on a stage. That I have to see.

HoopyFrood · 22nd February 2007, 10:27 AM

Cthuhlu sings?!! Fantastic!

Right, we have got to see this! Let's organise a Chrons trip to the theatre

j. d. worthington · 22nd February 2007, 10:28 AM

Just found this, as well... who knows? We might see the thing yet!

A Shoggoth on the Roof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As for the bit about Cthulhu singing on stage... I came across a page or two of the libretto some time back, as I recall... and that was one of the things mentioned about the play in the accompanying text (not the libretto itself.. at least, the little bit that I saw).

EDIT: Yep... according to this, he does, indeed, appear... in fact, it's he that sings one side of "Do You Fear Me?"

In fact, here's another bit for you're fast-diminishing sanity:

Yog-Sothoth for HPL & Call of Cthulhu

HoopyFrood · 22nd February 2007, 10:38 AM

Wow, that's amazing! Especially the last bit where Cthulhu goes on a rampage, singing and crushing

Right, well, no one else seems to be able to do it...So I think the Chrons should rally together and do their own performance!

Nesacat · 22nd February 2007, 10:45 AM

Makes sense ... you'd need music if you were bent on going on a rampage. I can see this happening... Let the music play.

Randolph · 23rd February 2007, 05:43 AM

Those samples were classic! I might have to look into buying this.

It was translated into Swedish (very good translation, too) and staged in Stockholm in 2005 at the first Miskatonicon.
