I get asked this question all the time. Usually at cons someone sees my Cthulhu Idols and ask some variant of “What is Cthulhu?” I sort of assume that everyone knows about Cthulhu and it shocked me that they don’t. Also to be honest I am terrible at explaining it.
So since my “Elevator Pitch” is so bad I created a small primer to help people answer “What is Cthulhu?” Hopefully it will aid you…
The Haunted Palace (1963)
w/Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Jr., Debra Paget
‘Vincent Price plays the titular Charles Dexter Ward who, together with his lovely wife Ann, arrives at the spooky New England harbour village of Arkham in order to take possession of the family residence, the titular Haunted Palace, abandoned for a century or more. The villagers are all horrified because Ward is the spitting image of his evil ancestor, Joseph Curwen, who was burned at the stake exactly one hundred and ten years earlier for being the male equivalent of a witch.’ - sandrafirstruleoffilmclubharris

This isn’t about video game or game design, but this has to be one of the best shorts I’ve seen. H.P Lovecraft would be proud
