The Color Out of Space

Scary Movie Book Club

Written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1927 and movie-ified for the 5th time in 2019. Directed and written by Richard Stanley (writing credits also to Scarlett Amaris), starring Nicholas Cage, Joey Richardson, Madeleine Arthur, Elliot Knight and Tommy Chong.

For the first time ever we have a pod-guest, Emily from Tell Tale Books, who you can watch on YouTube for more book-discussing goodness.

In the episode we talk about Project Gutenberg for all your classics-reading needs if you want to delve further into Lovecraft without purchasing a giant tome.

Susie mentions Arkham Horror: the Card Game from Fantasy Flight Games as a gateway to Lovecraftian understanding.

Emily briefly talked about Lovecraft being on the autism spectrum (gosh I hope I'm describing that the right way). A google search brings up lots of message boards and even a book wherein the author delves into the possibility, but nothing on the first page that seems at all conclusive... probably because the man is dead.

Madeleine Arthur we mentioned was on "The Magicians" as Fragile Human, but the descriptor is "Frail".

A google search will bring up many articles explaining how the color Magenta doesn't actually exist. Check out Sci Show's video about it (because Sci Show is awesome).

Finally, if anyone wants to produce some fine art of a person with Arden's Anthology of Shakespeare in one hand, Complete Works of H. G. Wells in the other, and the Complete Works of Lovecraft on a utility belt that would be rad. We'd love to see it.
