Yes, the Crawling Chaos' current avatar...a sixty year old Alfred P. Newman.

I like the 'In The World' section, where pictures of a crisp, freshly-printed flier is shown taped to various locations... With the same exact formatting, despite being in different languages, and - in my cases - placed on fairly cliche cultural locations, such as the big red phone booths in London to show you that - yes, this is, in fact, London. Too bad they all look like they were placed a few seconds before the photos were taken. Hilarious.
EDIT: Well, apparently the fliers are available for download from the site... Which only makes it easier for people to play along. Viral marketing much?

What a great way to advertise your services as a viral marketing/social media specialist...create your own urban myth! As a small business owner, I appreciate this guy's genius at self-promotion!
Well played, Sir...well played.

I gotta say, first time I saw that site/concept a few years ago, it screamed fake. There was just something about it, it was too bland.

I gotta say though, I guess it would make a cool story idea, especially in the Lovecraftian sense. You know, a Call of Cthulhu type deal where a man finds some old notes that his grandfather, a psychologist, left behind after death. These notes contain information on various patients, but all claim to have seen the same man in their dreams. Over the years, he had been compiling these similar cases, and maybe, like CoC, it could be like a detective story with the main character discovering his grandfather had been piecing together similarities between each case, like the man frequently wearing some article of clothing or using the same phrase.

Heck, I'd see that movie. I like the idea that the movie is from the point of view of the man in the dreams and not a "victim" who dreamt him. Think about how that would impact a person to find out that they were the image of millions of peoples' nightmares. Creepy...

Yes, that also intrigued me. It adds an even higher element of strangeness to the story. Consequently, it seems a test for the creators to produce an answer, to why he appears in many people's dreams, that is equally mystifying.

Yes, the unmistakable signs of incipient Innsmouth-ism... Hand me down my shotgun (to quote Lightnin' Hopkins). |
