Apparently I’m three years behind the curve on this. But if you like Lovecraft, you’ll go out of you mind with the music video “Fantasy” by DyE. It’s on YouTube. Am I gonna link to it? Nope. Why? Because it’s NSFW. Holy *crap* is it NSFW (I suspect it would’ve made ol’ H.P. his own self turn green and spew). But if you’re interested, just search for DyE and Fantasy on YT, and it’ll take ya right there.

In short, it starts off looking like it might be an animated slasher flick. Then it turns very Lovecraft, as least Lovecraft as filtered through John Carpenter. And then in the last few seconds, it turns into the best full-on interpretation of the cosmic madness lurking behind the Cthulhu Mythos I think I’ve ever seen. As with the best Lovecraft tradition, the payoff isn’t until the very, very end… and as with the best Lovecraft tradition, you don’t quite actually get a look at the Great Old One.

Because if you did, y’know, you’d be driven insane.
