Night of unspeakable horror!

[sarahmichigan]

We had a Night of Unspeakable Horror at our place last night, featuring the movie Cthulhu. Aside from the unspeakable horror of Tori Spelling being in the cast, I thought it was a decent movie. We had fun MST3K-ing it. I think others thought it was a stink-bomb, but I'd actually give it a 3 of 5 stars. The gay sex was definitely not a detractor for me, but I also thought the movie captured some of the heart of Lovecraftian horror- that you never see things full on but out of the corner of your eye, and that the horror is as much from within the heart of mankind than it is from burbling monsters from the deep.

Anyhow, the food was supposed to be horror-themed, too, though J. discouraged people from contributing anthing "actively nauseating." I had all kinds of plans for horror-themed foods but only ended up contributing two dishes: Evil Eye Deviled Eggs and Festering Devil's Food Cake. I wish I'd taken photos before we got started noshing on them, but you can see the leftovers...

P. also contributed the movie Versus, kind of a samurai zombie flick. It was funny-bad, but I couldn't stay awake for the whole thing. Gettin' old...
