Call of Cthulhu Available on DVD

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the say-is-that-a-tentacle dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is finally finished with the ultimate labor of mythos-love. The Call of Cthulhu is now available on DVD! For those not familiar with the long-awaited project, The Call of Cthulhu is a silent film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's famous literary masterpiece of the same name. It really looks like something that would have been shot in the 1920's silent film era. I, for one, welcome our new multi-tentacled, aquatic, ancient overlord. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn."

    "Iä" is NOT the correct spelling.

    "Ïa" is. Look it up. And if the i-umlaut is pronounced as it normally is, it would sound like "ee-yah".

    Great. Where else but on Slashdot would you find an imaginary, ancient, dead language grammar Nazi.

    You need a question mark at the end of that sentence.
