I thought about starting my own podcast with a young lady, but I ran into a little problem; Conan took her and didn't like our podcast.  I filmed it all and posted it on Youtube:

I know I know this is very old, but I was just listening to the At the Mountains Of Madness series again and Chad waxed on about REH and Hyperboria/Hyboria in the 5th installment (episode 81).  Then in the 6th (episode 82) he was talking about Conan and how he was reading all those stories and sharing them with Chris.  Then he realized he was talking too much about REH and getting off topic so he said, "I know, that's for the Robert E. Howard podcast, I don't want to get off on a tangent."

The reason I brought this back up is because I went looking for one and there still isn't one that I can find.

If I could only have one, I would take CoC because it has three or more stories burried within it (let's count them, Prof Angel, LeGrasse, that other prof in the Arctic, Johansen and the crew of the Emma, maybe count old Castro, I think you get the idea).

Very nicely done.

May I please use one or two of these for my blog?

My blog is mainly about me and my fiction writing, but each October I try to post a Lovecraftian / Cthulhu Mythos related picture each day.  I try to be original, but living in a Chicago suburb I don't get to see too many nameless horrors.  I would move back into the city, but our jobs are out here, and my wife...

I would very greatly appreciate it and give you full credit of course.

I'm just pretending to play it cool because I know I am surrounded by dangerous lunatics on all sides and I don't want to set them off. If intelligent design is for real, I want a refund. Whoever made this shit up is looney-tunes.

Intelligent design does not mean flawless execution.  You may not be able to blame the engineer, it could also be the manufacturing tech, the sales force and/or the end user.

Maybe we're just not using it right.  Have you read the users' manual?  I mean have you really read it?  I know it seems contradictory and confusing, but you must remember it was translated into our language.

Oh, you don't know which manual is the correct one.  Just call the 800 number.  Doesn't it work?  Did you use the correct country code?

What you will do once you get through is surrender control to the Service Tech who will make everything right.

T Kelly, that's exactly why I find spelling so scary.  I stare at a word to try to see if I've spelled it correctly and eventually it doesn't look right at all!

What sort of reaction are you thinking we have to sex dolls, Bob?  Aversion?  Um, yeah, that's what it is, aversion.  Do you happen to have any that I could try, you know to see if I feel, ahem, averted?

I kid, but seriously, isn't the person who doesn't feel odd about such situations just as or more scary than the not-quite-right situation itself?

I'm a 53 year old cargo airline pilot living in the Chicago area. Been an SF fan since a little kid. Feel like I've done several Yithian mind swaps as I seem to find and lose HPL over and over...

What town?

Can you think of well written work WITH scantily clad titalation?  Do they have to be mutually exclusive?

I suppose they should be ugly for the horror aspect, but what if after they transformed completely the fish people were not ugly? 

They wouldn't be human so they would look unusual or even strange to us because we are not familiar with them, but most animals, when they are healthy have a certain beauty.  Think of lions, wolves, horses or eagles.  We often marvel at their power, grace and beauty.

The fish people are probably well suited for their environment; when they have their way they're probably pretty happy; and they live forever.  Why would they be ugly?

I can see that the cross breeds may have the worst features of both, but that isn't always the case either.  Mules and ligers are not particularly ugly, nor are labradoodles.  Some of the most attractive people have features from several ethnic backgrounds.

The only thing I can think that would be ugly, almost by necessity, is the transition period.  Who among us was attractive during puberty?

For some reason losing teeth and/or hands is spine tingling to me.  When I hear stories about people getting their arms ripped off it creeps me OUT!

I heard a story about some teen boy who was working on a farm and he got his arms ripped off by some farm machine thingie.  He managed to make his way back to the house, dial the phone with a pencil in his teeth and then went to lay down in the bathtub so he wouldn't bleed all over his mother's rug.  I know it's heroic in a way, but it really makes me shake and get goosebumps.

I HATE the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

No to monopolize the thread, but I just reread it and realized that this is a perfect example of the kind of thing I don't like to think too much about, a part of my memory that I like to keep locked away.  If I follow my own train of thought on either of these then I get very creeped out.

I like what T. Kelly Lee said his Dad said.  This is similar to his response to me, isn't it?  You keep the beast, the jungle locked away inside you.  If you don't it will be something that will haunt you.  His father was successful in keeping the beast locked up so he doesn't feel too bad.

I don't know what TYPE OF FICTION this is, but it really really scars the heck out of me the idea of looking out a window and there is someone on the outside looking in at me.  The scariest part of the movie Halloween is when you see from the inside of the house that Michael is watching.

When I was young I used to run past the window on the basement stairs because I was absolutely sure that some alien had landed in the dark lawn between our house and the neighbor's, and now the alien was looking in the window, AT ME!

Actually the horror of combat is not in horror stories.  The examples you give have war as the setting (and it does play into / add to the horror) but the part of them that is "horror story" is the supernatural part.

Jacob's Ladder is completely after combat, Owl Creek Bridge is all in his imagination, but not in combat.  It sounds like R-Point is set in war but is really about the ghosts.

Here's an idea, the horror of combat with no supernatural element is not considered horror-story, but simply considered war-story.

I don't have any answer, only the question. 

There are things like Dog Soldiers which is really a werewolf story; and "The Temple" which involves a Uboat but is not really a story about them fighting the war; and the B17 part of Heavy Metal which is really a zombie story.  Why do horror stories have to have a supernatural or super-current-scientific-knowledge element to them?

I guess in gore-porn you can have it, but that's not my cup of horror and I would classify that differently anyway.

Oh the quotes!  Or paraphrases more likely.

In HS and college my friends and I "quoted" from this movie all the time!

"You cannot kill evil with bullets!"

"Of course not us, we're English."

"Even the devil is afraid of a good Cossak."

I just realized that the title of this whole thread is mispelled.
