I love the game Call of Cthulhu and am having a blast playing our current campaign, but when I read the story The Call of Cthulhu by HP Lovecraft I was kind of shellshocked. I wasn't very good. In fact, I really thought it was bad.
Hey don't throw things as me!
I've read other Lovecraft stories and enjoyed them (Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, etc) but I just didn't like Call of Cthulhu. I may have been a matter of expectations (it was the first Lovecraft story I ever read and I expected to love it) or it could be that it just isn't my cup of tea. Whatever the reason I really wish someone has pointed me to the video below, The Call of Cthulhu in Under 2 Minutes. It does an amazing job of telling the whole tale in, you guessed it, under two minutes and manages to be really funny at the same time.
Enjoy!
This quite convincing silent-era style version is very faithful to the original - I'd watch it rather than read the story any day.
