Enjoyed that! Karma indeed. Sadly there’s currently a notorious ‘cat killer’ going around mutilating cats in areas near where we live ☹ I wish someone would put a curse on them! ---

I read “The Outsider” and while that one has been made into a movie already (Castle Freak in 1995) I think this very short story could make for an interesting casual game (which seemingly hasn´t been done yet): [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/o.aspx](http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/o.aspx) (read before clicking my spoilers) I picture a first-person “escape the room” kind of situation where you have to leave your own personal confinement and reach the upper parts of the castle and finally complete the game by crashing the party and looking into the mirror to see your own hideous monster face. ---

Yeah I had strong doubts they were serious about basing it on the original pen and paper game and would just deliver another Outlast like hide and seek Surival Horror Game. But it seems they go through with it, heavy on investigating and character building and not so much on actual combat, just the way it should be! ---

Overall I liked it. But I´m always torn about any Del Torro films, which always look great but sometimes are a bit messy. This one I enjoyed because it was a rather simple story and the focus was more clear. I liked the little references to the ups and downs of the 60s while the overall story was more of a timeless fairytale. And I really got a kick out of the sign language “fuck you” scene. The audience had the biggest issues with the cat scene and obviously even more with the scene where Michael Shannon´s character pulls his foul fingers off (someone screamed during that). ---

I thought it was good but like you said, just a straightforward fairytale. And a concept that’s been done a lot.

Yeah, I thought it was well deserved that the Oscar for screenplay went to Get Out. That one was a lot more original and had more thrilling twists and turns. > [@PiecesOfKate](#): > > I liked that bit too but had seen it in a trailer, which was annoying as it ruined the impact.

I didn´t know Neil Gaiman wrote a Cthulhu short story! It is called “I, Cthulhu” it is very very short and hilarious! 😂 It picks up on all the unspoken sides of the Mythos while at the same time summing up all the beats for beginners surprisingly well!
