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."

    I ordered it the other day and got the testimonial of randolph carter as well (based on my favorite lovecraft story). and this is the message I got back.

    Thanks for your order; your DVDs will ship the end of the week via US
    Airmail. Be forewarned, the quality of The Call of Cthulhu is WAY better
    than Randolph Carter. TTORC was shot on VHS tape and suffers from poor sound
    and image quality. It's watchable but I wanted to give you fair warning.

    I have no problem with that. But thought I would share.
