Cthulhu must have been a hell of a movie? I mean come on, did people actually create a cult after watching it? I heard that they did but it just doesn't seem right. (Yahoo Answers)

Yahoo Answers has never ceased to create wildly ridiculous Q & A sessions. Now, the well known vapidness of some posters has touched Lovecraft. No, the anonymous poster wasn't referring to The Call of Cthulhu film , or even Jason Cottle's Cthulhu, when this question was brought up several weeks ago:It seems this is one case where H.P. Lovecraft's own creation has escaped its literary identity and creator. Luckily, other users were quick to tidy up the record on Cthulhu's origins. Funny as it may be, knowing Cthulhu without recognizing who made it is likely to become more common. The tentacled entity has become a viral icon in His own right, removing a great deal of literary context and history for those who can't be bothered to look it up - or don't know where to turn.-Grim Blogger
