Come up with a Cthulhu movie

a mentally ill woman went missing

private investigator hired to find her

passing by a seaside suburb he dicides to stay for a while

no sun

dream in which he is drowning in the ocean of the slippery dark snakes

overnight the weather gets worse

heavy rain floods the roads

locals are getting weird

children and elders are treating him with reverence

snakes from the dream pop up everywhere: in the roots of trees, in someone's beard

he is probably poisoned

tries to escape

runs on the highest hill to look around

one of the next hills starts moving

it's not a hill

it's a head

Cthulhu in the White House

I always wanted to see Spielberg make an Indiana Jones movie that incorporates Lovecraftian elements.

Think about it, ancient civilizations, weird cults while The Mummy 1999 was the closest thing we got as they used the Necronomicon.

A good Indy film would be a race to find the Necronomicon before the Nazi's do with clues leading to jungles, arctic wastelands, barren deserts and could even include Innsmouth that Indy has to escape from.

Anywho, I'm still annoyed that we'll never get the real Indiana Jones as depicted in the attached photo....

!!!FACT!!!

How To Train Your Cthulu
He's just a creepy looking sea monster with a heart of gold, but it takes one child's love to prove that to the world

I always wanted to see Spielberg make an Indiana Jones movie that incorporates Lovecraftian elements.

Crystal Skull was borderline this. Too bad it sucked.

True Detective S1 is basically that.

people still say this stupid shit to this day

You can't because you cannot show it.

Nah, they made Smile (2022) and that's great.

Fuck cthulhu, make a movie about the Ghost eater, we need more Werewolf kino

Cthulhu isn't that scary of a concept in a world with Destroyer ships and nuclear weapons.

I would adapt Alan Moore's Providence comic. It's the best adaptation of the Lovecraft mythos perhaps ever. It even includes Moore's signature trope in a really disturbing body/mind swap scene. Providence is so fucking good. You have to be familiar with Lovecraft's work to get the most out of it though. Moore obsessively weaves Lovecraft's stories into the comic in the most autistic way possible.

Now *this* nigga got some kino blood in his veins.

movie opens

it's a man in a world without any other person

everything looks like our world except the sky is red and that there is no other people

stores have food, he can pump gas and so on

we see him moving around doing some mundane shit for a little bit

then he is sitting in a bench on a park watching some ants dumping their dead workers

he decides to grab all dead workers and leave the rest of his sandwich there

next day he is on the same bench and does the same thing

after a couple days doing the same thing he notices the ants have started to kill some of their workers and put them there

he laughs and puts an entire loaf of bread

he starts going around and having fun with animals

we can see the novelty slowly wearing off as the movie goes

we get a "years later prompt"

guy is once again eating a sandwich on a park bench

he looks ahead and can see a huge ant colony going all over the park

he gets up and goes to his truck, grabs a shovel, gasoline and a lighter

follow the ants to their nest

starts moving shit with his shovel

ants in panic

he douses gasoline all over goes away a bit and throws the lighter

time slows down

as the lighter goes down the camera pans to the ant POV

as we get closer it's actually just our world full of people, everything the same now including the sky

the world is burning

people fleeing

we follow a guy who runs into a monument or temple looking place

there are corpses and blood there

he looks outside the temple and weeps and everything continues to burn

movie ends

we were the ants the entire time

COSMIC HORROR

first of all, you never see him

Add in some Doctor Strange visuals and you got yourself a deal!

You cant kill him with those just delay him. Meanwhile theres a plethora of other starspawn and your weapon operators are steadily going mad from exposure to them. Also millions of 'sensitive' people just when he stirs, probably form into millions of devout cultists if he gets annoyed at being nuked

Terribly shallow are you asoulless chink?

The Empty Man did it pretty perfectly

Why is this nigga so popular if he's a mid level henchman?

Film about how unintentionally the sleeping Chuthulu influences people causing society to colapse. Rise in rapes, cults, serial killers to terrorists. Group suicides, even in animals. Surge in nightmares, mass halucinations and paranormal stuff. When he finally wakes up it's over.

i would only make this film, if I could come up with a visual of the creature that would actually make people go insane. I wonder if its even possible to get into peoples heads like that with the one thing that just makes them snap.

Mid level but not a henchman, he's a very importante figure on the mythos, obviously there are a Lot more powerfull beings but atleast cthulhu has a cool body

I've only read 1 lovecraft short story, and it wasn't Cthulhu. Here goes.

Present day. Detective investigates a series of spree killings in a port city. Someone or something tips him to the idea that the murders are related to or are somehow similar to stories from the Cthulhu mythos.
Through the second act of the film he sees Cthulhu and other Lovecraftian entities manifesting through apophenia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia
Can't stop seeing Cthulhu everywhere and has himself committed to a psych ward. Begins taking medications which, through a prescription mix up, intensify his hallucinations (this plot point is described overtly by a doctor or psychiatrist).
Hallucinates himself solving the crimes by unmasking a cult of Cthulhu worshippers who are literal fish people wearing bad human disguises, after following a trail of supernatural evidence. Is able to prove the murders were committed by the cult and unmask the fish people in a big press conference in front of the city hall. Everyone at the conference is shocked and applauds the detective. He gives a big speech about how there could be more cultists out there and "they could be any one of you!"
Mayor Cthulhu arrives and awards him a medal for a job well done. The audience, now all fishmen, give a big round of applause. The detective accepts the medal from the mayor and remarks that "there is no price too great to pay in pursuit of justice and truth" and his head explodes and writhing squid tentacles burst up from his neck, pulling the body of the detective up into deep space.

He's right. Although it was not directly about Cthulhu but the overall Cthulhu mythos.

It was written in 1928. But I support a faithful adaptation which is set back then. The actual written story even has flashback elements that modern full-length love. It's surprising nobody has done it yet.

full-length

*film-makers

It'd be a good short film

A 38 year old man who runs a action figure review channel and somehow is single encounters a girl who subscribes to his channel and messages him about how his toy reviews are so good, and they have really helped her buy a lot of great toys. She admits to him that he looks really handsome in his youtube reviews and she masturbates often during his reviews. She sends a picture of herself to him and she is gorgeous, a combination of Natalie Portman, Jennifer Connelly and Jessica Biel, and she has huge perky torpedo tits. The guy says he would really like to meet her, and they have a dinner at the Olive Garden. They get there and he is so nervous, he is shaking at how beautiful she is. He starts thinking she could be his first girlfriend and the woman he marries. He is shaking so bad he knocks a glass of water towards her, the water gets on her top and he apologizes but he thinks he can see her nipples through her wet top. All of the sudden she starts to scream very loud and he is in shock by her body growing and mutating into a giant Cthulhu right in front of him. The table they are at shatters and he screams as her huge tentacles grow out grabbing Olive Garden customers, The Olive Garden explodes outward as Cthulhu grows out of its Olive Garden egg, the birth of pure destruction and darkness.

That's The Shadow Out Of Time

Cthulu loses to a fishing boat in the story

This is as close as you are getting

Seth Rogan as the voice of Cthulhu, people are scared of him, but he doesnt wanna hurt anyone, he just wants weeeeeeeeeeeed.

Easy ones that should be easy to adapt

At the mountains of madness

Everyone wants this one

Pickmans model

A Katy Holmes movie and a TV series did decent jobs

Color out of space

I heard that nic Cage movie sucks

Herber west reanimator

Also adapted already but could use a modern version maybe like a bride of Frankenstein crossed with the substance kinda shit

The statement of Randolph Carter

Easy just do some interrogation room but the detectives also have his found footage they ask him to narrate and explain

The music of eric zahn

Just play it as a period piece whiplash with the supernatural element only appearing the last few seconds and being possibly an hallucination

Under the pyramids

Have time cruise play harry Houdini

Rats in the walls

Ever seen pandorum? Hope I didn't spoil either

Hard ones to adapt that you'd have to butcher

Any of the dream quest bullshit

Never cared for it but I feel the contrarian hipsters like to claim its their favorite

Whisper in the darkness

Fun but I don't think audiences could handle crabs doing brain surgery

Nyarlathotep

It'd have to be butchered to fit a traditional movie format I think

Does anyone remember the name of the one about the guys really smart wife? Is it he? Or from beyond? The guys wife might be a witch because she's a smarty pants but it turns out she is possessed by some cult leader who has been trading bodies with the next generation in his family line but this time fucked up and was weaker because it was a woman he had to possess for a good while am I remember that one right? I read most of his stuff in highschool and college and despite being my favorite author a lot of his stuff seems almost parodying due to similarities and the stereotype of his story layout but i honestly love the whole "cosmic horror or supernatural entity's existence is just another example of the cold uncaring nature of reality/the universe" kinda vibes.

This, but Chtulhu's daughter or sister.

black cat runs across the screen

main character turns to the camera and jim from the office faces

Whatever you do whether the story mentions his cat or a cat or even doesn't have a white cat named honkey man or crackerz

Cthulu sees himself of rule34 version of him

So? Not Hollywood kaboom enough?

It is when those things don't work

Does anyone remember the name of the one about the guys really smart wife?

I think you're thinking of The Thing on the Doorstep.
