It was around this time last year that Maika, co-editor of the Geyser of Awesome, created her first Cthulhumas tree using a bunch of our Chtulhu tentacles, blue string lights, silver garland, a plush Cthulhu, and just the right amount of eldritch chanting. 

Knowing the Great Old Ones would be expecting a tribute at least as nice as last year’s effort, Maika created a second Cthulhumas tree this year, building on the original design with the addition of more lights, three dozen Finger Tentacles, and some Terrified B-Movie Victims. 

Don’t leave small pets or children alone around this tree. Those frightened little figures won’t satisfy it for long. 

Merry Cthulhumas one and all. May the Elder Gods continue to sleep soundly.

Cthulhu fhtagn. We love these awesome Cthulhu hats. 

The soft, fleecy Cthulhu hat was made by Chicago-based designer and seamstress Fabricninja.

The knitted Cthulhu ski mask was created by crochet artisan Sugarcoatidli3z.

Last December we posted about an awesome pair of Santa Cthulhu and Mrs. Cthulhu figures made by Amy L. Rawson. We loved them then and love them now. Even if it seems like Christmas is years away, Cthulhu is always in season.

So we were delighted to learn that Amy has a new, one-of-a-kind creation concerning our favourite evil cosmic entity, made in collaboration with Brian East. Meet Needle Felted Baby Cthulhu! Isn’t he cute? Even the Great Old Ones must’ve been wee once, right?

This awesome 8” tall, needle felted wool Baby Cthulhu comes complete with his own appropriately earth-shaped binky. Attention Cthulhu collectors, he’s for sale over on Etsy.

A very Lovecraft Christmas!

Faced with the realisation that we suddenly had room enough to put up our own Christmas tree, I was initially at a loss when considering how to decorate it. We have no ornaments and the idea of shopping for them made me drowsy. I can’t remember what first brought to mind the image of a tree covered in tentacles (perhaps it’s best not to ask), but as soon as I envisioned it I couldn’t let go of the idea.

Using an artificial tree, blue string lights, silver garland, one plush Cthulhu (who has been silently biding his time in my home for years), approximately 50 Cthulhu Tentacles, and a little heady chanting (no one wants to upset the Great Old Ones), “A very Lovecraft Christmas” became a reality. I’m rather pleased with the results. Let’s hope the Old Ones are too. I’m beginning to suspect that the tree writhes when I’m not looking.
