Fantastic Video Essay, "Titan of Terror: The Dark Imagination of H.P. Lovecraft"
I’ve got a great video essay for you to watch today for all of you H.P. Lovecraft fans. It comes from Ted Ed and it’s called “Titan of Terror: The Dark Imagination of H.P. Lovecraft.”
The video dives into the legendary horror stories of Lovecraft, whose fantastical tales, such as The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness, created a new era of Gothic horror.
Arcane books of forbidden lore, disturbing secrets in the family bloodline, and terrors so unspeakable the very thought of them might drive you mad. These have become standard elements in modern horror stories. But they were largely popularized by a single author: H.P. Lovecraft, whose name has become synonymous with the terror he inspired. Silvia Moreno-García dissects the “Lovecraftian” legacy.
Watch the video below and let us know what your favorite Lovecraft horror story is.
