A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

I gave it a watch. The Thing is my all time fave as well so for course I'm biased but I thought your video was really well done. Editing is great, transitions were smooth. You have a good voice for vids and your speaking was clear and understandable. Overall great vid! I'm still angry about the 2011 'remake' and the decision to cut out practical effects. I dream of a day where I get to somehow see that version.
