Close Encounters of the Third Kind

26 Cthulhu from The Call of Cthulhu, by HP Lovecraft

Gigantic tentacular star-spawned Presence in Lovecraft's baroque cosmogony, sleeping in a sunken, "non-Euclidean" city until the time comes for it to swallow the world's soul. Frequently evoked in barbaric, indecipherable language, although some people quite like Lovecraft's prose. Gloriously, you can now buy a T-shirt reading: "What part of 'ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn' don't you understand?"

Horror's Not Dead reviews the Korean genre flick Hansel & Gretel:

"...Yim either thinks we are f**k**g stupid or he was obliging an undisclosed running time clause, because the movie takes arduous time acknowledging this and every other twist the audience agrees on well before the movie does. I have many, but that may be one of my higher horror movie pet peeves. Don't handicap my experience because someone else may be too thick to crack your substitution code..."
