ItsSuperEffective it is free if you dont know you just watch it there guys it is free not like netflix

[@devinweathers7520]

i just started listening his novels and wanted create my amalgamation characters anyway thanks

[@ANT96-x8d]

So why exactly is it so hard to do Hollywood adaptations of Lovecraft’s Cthulu mythos?

[@ReverendRedMage]

Faust, thank you for making this video and letting your viewers know about this man, his writing, and his history. A lot of native Rhode Islanders are proud of his legacy. His tombstone in Swan Point Cemetery is marked with the epitaph "I Am Providence". To this day, if you visit it, you will see the tokens and letters from people who admired his works and lore.

[@zvonimirtomac7896]

With that constant creepy look on his face I would totally buy the fact that he is the father of modern horror.

[@tjc3644]

The mist by stephen king id say would be a good example of lovecraftian style monsters

[@StCrimson667]

This was a really great video and I really, really liked it, but I would just point out that Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" has an unreliable narrator in it and she was published before Lovecraft. I would say that Lovecraft definitely popularized the idea of the unreliable narrator, though since it seems that Mary Shelley didn't inspire a lot of writers to copy her. I highly recommend "Frankenstein", it truly is a masterpiece and so few people really understand just how amazing it is! That aside, top notch bio of Lovecraft, thanks, Faust! :D

[@harmonlanager2670]

Jacob Marion Another example of an unreliable narrator before Lovecraft is Robert W. Chamber's "The Repairer of Reputation".

[@simonwittenberg6241]

First of all I would like to say that your video is really good. Not just the topic itself, but how you explained everything and took your time doing so. Many people just rush down everything. I hope to see more of Masters & Creators. Well done.

[@ItsSuperEffective]

Simon Wittenberg thank you!! That means a lot!! There’s actually 7 episodes already out on Viewster!! The link is in the description of the video!!

[@neonfilex5141]

This vid is great! I really like that you went in depth with him, not everyone does that. Probably the best Lovecraft biography on KZbin. Happy to see you try something new:)

[@WyseWalker]

Klaus, this has to be one of your best videos ever! You do so well with explanation and informative videos, the way you format, plan and script is perfect for this type of production. It's even better when you reel in a person like me that doesn't really like the overly historic or informative genre of media into sitting and watching the video loosing all sense of time simply enjoying the it. I honestly believe this series is one of the best ideas you've ever had please continue it.

[@Wingedmagician]

I really like this. Hope it goes on for a while

[@ItsSuperEffective]

A few episodes are already out!! Link to them is in the description!!

[@lokiawriter8077]

H.P Lovecraft is my favourite horror writer. Keep up the good work, Faust.

[@delaneydespain992]

I think I know who I can write my history paper on now! I was having so much trouble with this! Thanks Faust!

[@MetalHeadManic612]

Faust, have you seen the Nic Cage movie The Color Out Of Space? It is by far the best cosmic horror movie I've seen.

[@rimosabysswalker3206]

For movie I would Recommend In the Mouth of Madness since this movie is a loveletter to lovecraft

[@youngboss2071]

The thing 1982 kind of did that.

[@jwilsthem.c3780]

I hope this series continues

[@CrazzyToast12]

you're so good at presenting history! like the format, your voice, just everything is so great and I'll definitely watch the rest of this series! :o I love your videos!!

[@kierancoburn4507]

These are all amazing and i love watching them weekly

[@ItsSuperEffective]

Thank you!

[@marnetteryes2613]

The first day I met one of my friends we started talking about books and authors we liked, he brought up H.P. Lovecraft and I was like “Oh I’ve been meaning to read some of his stuff." So he said he’d bring in one of his Lovecraft copies for me tomorrow, I thought he was just going to bring in an old paper back but the next day He handed me this thick leather bound copy of the necronomicon

[@davidstrife165]

One of his writing methods that helped make his mythos was to have others do it. Equal parts outsourcing and workshopping. Intentionally doing what entire civilizations did somewhat on accident. A game of telephone with Gods and monsters between him and friends.

[@CircusOfFive]

Faust!! Just binged watched the entire Masters & Creators series you linked above: Thank You for a fantastic experience.

[@oatsthedog]

It’s super effective needs more subscribers.

[@r.babylon2885]

The Color Out Of Space sounds similar in premise to the movie Annihilation

[@dawnbreaker4621]

Faust the production is great, seriously I love it hope to see more of this. Thanks for the informative video.

[@CasualKing21]

I love this series and I can't wait to see more!

[@FimbongBass]

I remember me and my friend read some paragraphs from the necronomicon when we were kids, around 14 years old and we both started to get sick from reading it, at that moment we knew that HP lovecraft wasnt something to mess with

[@anonoymoususer6417]

This is both accurate and awesome, thank you for this😄 I've been a fan of his work since i was 13 so having people give him and his work attention is really nice to see

[@benardman2665]

This is absolutely amazing Faust!! Love the new backdrop ass well. I hope more people support you outside your comics content, cause I always preferred your content outside of comics

[@mal1889]

well done

[@bladesolar1]

Hope your doing well. Im a fan. I thought these series you did on historical authors was phenomenal. Just coming by and tipping my hat to show respect.

[@fwwaller]

Massive kudos for pointing out that Lovecraft eased up on the xenophobia later in life, lots of people just like to dismiss him and his work entirely because racism.

[@batsyrake]

OMG! I was reading Call of Cthulhu. Thanks for the video.

[@Rahhelthethird]

Love this new series of yours!

[@garylewis2461]

Long time listener , first time caller.REALLY enjoy your content.Nice one.You are informative , engaging and enthusiastic . Hope this and your runner's job leads to where you want to be.

[@ItsSuperEffective]

I actually stopped working as a show runner at the beginning of the month. The production company, prior to taking me on, had only done radio, while several of my shows were taken to pilot, it was decided it was more profitable for them to remain in radio.

[@garylewis2461]

Hope your future ventures reap the rewards you deserve

[@baldmitzvah]

Anyone here into the lovecraftian post-black metal band The Great Old Ones????

[@TitaniumSeraph]

Wow! Amazing work!! Can't wait for the next one!! :D

[@ItsSuperEffective]

The next one is already out on Viewster!!

[@marcelinorosas6868]

very cool! My new favorite series.

[@garrus7883]

Mr H has a an entire series on his work

[@ashbell28]

This was an awesome video! You did well talking about the writer, his style and how his influenced many other writers. I like the intro and outro graphics.

[@0eazy4]

I love your videos. Keep doing what your doing.

[@dominicdager4331]

This is fantastic please do more like this :D

[@tomjamison5934]

Excellent video.

[@Kroatowa]

Thank you for such a detailed video man! And the recommendations! Most people just talk about his stories and influence on horror, I just really wanted to know who he was as a person and where to start with his works 😂. Great vid!

[@SuperSablei]

I'm pretty sure Lovecraft is basically a household name? Either way, nice video. Never read him before. Is any of his stories online?

[@athenassigil5820]

Super Sablei Yes, I have books, games , sculptures, bobble head Cthulhu....I would say he's either well known by name or at least indirectly through horror. Saying that, though, Faust did a very good introduction video.

[@drakashrakenburgproduction5369]

There is some fantastic radio dramas on his work on KZbin.

[@ANT96-x8d]

So why exactly is it so hard to do Hollywood adaptations of Lovecraft’s Cthulu mythos?

[@silvercomet6782]

wow, I had no idea lovecraft was so... recent. I always kinda pictured him as being in, like, the 1600's or something

[@JohnAlbertDiPasquale]

You’re my favorite channel when it comes to comics, better than comicstorian in my opinion.

[@James-ne2vb]

Great work on this!

[@GINGI9519]

Fantastic vid Faust id love to hear your opinion on ur fav stories from lovecraft

[@greatmajingo]

I love this subject and video so much good job man

[@kemboi69]

I didn't know this was a series you were making. This was a pretty good video about an author I only have a vague familiarity with. Definitely going to check out the rest of these.

[@harmonlanager2670]

A big part of why Lovecraft hated New York was because his apartment was broken into and he blamed it on local immigrants. I'm surprised you didn't bring up "The Rats in The Walls". The editor of Weird Tales called it one of the best stories they ever published.

[@ChroniclesofNoria]

Very enlightening. I've always had Lovecraft on my list of authors to read, but never took that step. Your video has definitely convinced me to give it a go. Plus, only you would wax lyrical about a book and then dive into a game that fits Lovecraft's.. craft (yeah. I know. It sounds cheesy to me too. Sorry) and end it with recommending that we lose ourselves in horror shows and movies :). Thank you.

[@WrectumTerror]

You hopping back on the weekly pull anytime soon?

[@Seek1878]

Actually its possible his father didn't get syphilis from cheating. Syphilis is only contagious in its early stages. Insanity sets in in later stages of the disease when the brain is attacked, which takes years. Meaning he likely contracted it before he met his wife, it wasn't contagious by that time, but it was affecting his mind.

[@edvynatan7928]

Great video Faust! Just wondering if you're going to do a full review on the Runaways tv series now that season 1's finished? Would love to see what you thought of it overall!

[@ItsSuperEffective]

It'll be out in a few hours :)

[@Redrung]

Even in the last jedi the darkside water hole catch some style of lovecraftian

[@HypArtz002]

Thanks faust I have heard of him and that he made kthulu aka inspiration for Ben 10 vilgax but I've had no idea who he was

[@zwara81]

have you tried some of the lovecraft boardgames? arkham horror lcg is amazing

[@Printedperformance]

Bloodborne is a love letter to lovecraft... and I wish another was being made.

[@vinbingames]

Hello would you like to talk about our Lord and savior cthulhu

[@nathansteinfromarkham7109]

Never. I'm committed to the will of Nyarlathotep.

[@DARKDURELL2]

I take a GED class at the library me and a friend was joking had said that what if H P Lovecraft name was Harry Potter Lovecraft

[@SuperPrinnyDood]

check out the Game, Scorn, it looks amazing, it channels HP Lovecraft and HR Gieger beautifully

[@sasukekuniski1959]

i never seen cthulhu trash on halloween lmao

[@JacobIsACheese]

i would very much say he is a household name?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

That’s a common misconception. Internationally he’s rarely spoken about outside of internet communities.

[@JacobIsACheese]

ItsSuperEffective it was a very nice video im really looking forward to more of this kind - ive been watching you for years and i really did not expect you to reply aha

[@lordgamma4703]

Who gives a shit if he had fears that manifested in racist tenancies. We need to stop judging figures of the past through the lens of today's sensibilities. It was a different time. Accept peoples pros and cons, and judge a creators works on its own merit.

[@sasukekuniski1959]

nope. idc about stupid racists.

[@luigimussolini5966]

@@sasukekuniski1959 But you care about his literature right? He was racist against other whites as well.

[@gitogal]

just love love craft such a great mind ...even though he had his flaws... but yah he cool :D

[@Prince-ss2uc]

can you do a review on the 1st season of the runaways?

Its coming in the next few days!

[@robgoulding689]

Comic book girl 19 did it!!!!

[@ItsSuperEffective]

I've been making this type of video since 2015, since my video on Grant Morrison. Long before CBG19 did Greater Creators. This being said, I am a fan of greater creators, and CBG19, just...she didnt invent documentaries on artists lol.

[@SoullessAIMusic]

is Lovecraft his first name? Because this really makes it sound like Lovecraft is his first name.

[@MRWHO-gt8zo]

it me or Lovecraftian look like the same thing everyone said, it the dark soul of ...

[@RSEFX]

I strongly disagree with the assertion that THE CALL OF CTHULHU is "incredibly clumsy".

[@mysticanna5545]

Great now I'm over thinking every little thing of life like how does the colour brown get it's name........??? How who came up with this?! Why do we even have names for colors ?!?!

[@sasukekuniski1959]

xenophobia is irrelevant when nature steps in to control its sheep

[@Aerchain]

Bungou Stray Dogs anyone?

[@richardpowell1772]

“Lovecraft should be held accountable for his racism.” Uh, how do you hold a person who died over 80 years ago accountable for their opinions? Years in the future, everyone may be vegetarians and look back at people who ate the meat of animals raised in captivity for the sole purpose of being killed as immoral. Do you want to be held accountable by the ever changing moral standards of society? Separate the art from the artist.

[@mysticanna5545]

When I hear H.P Lovecraft I think of Harry Potter

[@B4brenda]

me too!

[@mysticanna5545]

Shit I'm early hell Yas

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

Um...he did NOT invent the unreliable narrator (have you even read TURN OF THE SCREW?).

[@leatherDarkhorse]

if you dont knw hp lovecraft, you are not a horror master

[@sasukekuniski1959]

why cant people be original . and not use any of this guys stuff? idk about him. i should make up random creatures and a story for them.just to spite
