The ALTER Files "Lovecraftian Lore Vol. 1" | ALTER 

The Pickman Model episode from Cabinet Of Curiosities was good too. Crispin Glover!

F'ing legendary comment! xD

Prphets or Exodus.

His wife would literally choke him at nite like Cassandra of People.

Never trust a wife over 500lbs.

Why don't they make films for theater thought

uh.. what do you mean by "this isn't your typical low-budget hack short film that some waiters/actors/producers/directors/film students made"?

@@sergiokaminotanjo he means he thinks young/inexperienced people can't be talented or have a strong artistic vision I think

@@lilstardropslmao bih lt was a rhetorical question,because as you can obviously see this movie is exactly that, a low-budget hack short film.

It's called talent.

I disagree. The acting across the board is crap. Becomes distracting how hard every character attacks the lines. This film not theatre. Mediocre writing too. Alter has become hollow.

Also evidence why Hollywood didn't spend much in cosmic horror only nerd will scrare and the other 99% people will scream for refund

@@focidhomophobicii2426 It's not really that 99% will scream for a refund or that only a nerd will scare. Cosmic horror has a lot of themes from other horrors as well such as body horror or psychological. So definitely people will be scared. The problem is it will sell less. Because people aren't as interested in it. That's why they don't really produce them. Annihilation is a perfect example. Great movie but did horribly. Just because there's less of an audience for this kinda stuff.

@LucyWhitley There's no such thing as "Cosmic Horror Movie" All that seems to be is just *Cosmic Action Movie* and your Annihilation is a very perfect example

@@focidhomophobicii2426 Yeah fair. Just an example though. And if they were to try something with cosmic horror aspects I imagine it would go as I described.

​@@focidhomophobicii2426 Colour out of space is a 100% 'cosmic horror movie '

22 minutes in, I couldn't help but think... If that guy really walked in on a party like that, some dude bros would instantly try beating him up while the girls mocked and insulted him.

alright, now i am hyped

Carpenter not Cronenberg

John carpenter

I mean to be fair outer gods are just indirectly dickheads rarely do people deserve their fates

Can you explain what actually happened, please. I don't get it at all. Especially after that man with seizure get smashed on the head, what is inside of him?

@@chernozem7335 the key! Remember it came out of his mouth? The man covered in blood tried to protect everyone. The woman was possessed by the ancient evil.

​@chernozem7335 Here is what I got. Two entities were fighting for that mask, the protector had the key, which was like protection from the evil entity. The mask is some form of Cosmic power that summons outer gods. The entity using the mask is Nyalrthotep, as far as bad guys go, you'd be hard pressed to find worse in any universe that exists. No idea what the mask and key actually are, but that seems to be their function. Evilguy murdered and replaced the friend, attacked the guardian key holder to make him mostly incoherent, and probably influenced his death by extinguisher. (Does that make it a Fire AND Life extinguisher?) At the end, everyone was basically paralyzed, but the key that would protect them stopped just short of where it could be reached. Kind of a "cruel twist of fate" thing, or Maybe the dead guardian was only mostly dead and spitting the key out was all it could do. Unanswered questions/Don't know why: -It was frozen -It had the key -It couldn't talk -It looked like an Irish dude with British teeth, but was guarding this mask in Nepal -Why someone would have made the mask 900 years ago and given it that much power -Why the opposite to the Clay, hair, and inlaid silver Nepalise tribal mask (featuring the o.O emoji eyes and probably yak hair) would be a filigree, baroque era, liquor cabinet key and chain straight out of Louis XIII's Versaille palace. -What the green comet actually was -The Mask's purpose -How the Key would interact with the Mask -Why they didn't seem to want to listen to the only guy who seemed to have an idea of what was going on, based on the questions he asked. -Why they all acted like Anime characters watching their enemy go through an elaborate and time consuming power up ritual. (Maybe you can chalk it up to a sanity destroying fear aura that eldrich monsters all seem to have, but that's not very satisfying.) -Why the panicked guy was even there when they ignored all his questions and suggestions. (Crew based stories usually give each crew member a distinct expertise or ability. Scully uses rationality and hard evidence, Mulder uses an open mind and thinks outside of the box, for example) Disclaimer: I could be wrong about almost everything. It's way too vague and mysterious about too many things to be certain. Your brain is functioning properly. It's not you, its them.

The acting was painful, i admire your ability to ignore that

@@oznewman6939 the story line, the setting. Then the horror of the beasts transformation. It was a chaotic climax.. It all worked.

I missed that - can you give a hint?

Instead of the Starbucks Mermaid logo, it’s Cthulhu instead 😂

@@saxonde68 very lever - well spotted!

that very stanley kubrick style

Short films or indie are better compared to those with a much budget movies.

Because when a studio gets involved a comity decides to go for the usual cliche garbage they think sells tickets

@@sigmasix3719 Right on. Warner brothers had their fingers in every DC superhero movie they ever made, and they never learn from their mistake. The end result is "the Flash" a movie that is on the road to be the most expensive disaster for a movie company since the movie Heaven's Gate, a movie with actors like: Jeff Bridges,Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and John Hurt, and despite that bombed so bad that the whole movie studio went belly up.

Because all of Lovecrafts work was short stories. Dragging it out ruins it 95% of the time.

@@gmork1090 There have been several short stories that have become great movies, especially in the horror genre. Lovecraft society made a black and white silent movie one that were about an hour long, and it is awesome! It captured the dread perfectly, and i loved The void. Other writers had no problem writing longer stories in the Lovecraft world - much to his delight. It might have something to do with so many bad movies, but i feel it is not 100% correct. I suspect that it might be hard too finance a movie without a good fight scene with the "big bad" at the end of the movie, and as we all know, fighting "the old ones" always end badly for humans. I played the Lovecraftian Sherlock Holmes game, and it was awesome, for 8 hours gametime - so time might not always be a problem ?

i had seen eldritch code before as a stand alone story. very well done

Siggagroth is one that name stuck in my head

ive only had like 3 and it really is odd to go from absolute dread to realizing you cant die and this is kinda fun. best one i remeber suddenly gained mario super jumping while running from zombies in the woods.

That’s one of the ways I figured out how to lucid dream. I had a nightmare and was terrified, then noticed the nature of the dream and suddenly everything came into focus. Instead of a nightmare it became a really neat haunted house experience. Woke up feeling really refreshed, funny enough.

@@housewilma4904 i had that exact same dream a while ago

Lovecratian horror.

It's okay I thought the same thing when I first seen it and it was one of the first short horror stories I had ever seen on here, but I believe that there are many many more way better Lovecraftian cosmic horror than that. It was rather uneventful and didn't have much of a climax. Open your mind people.

​@@evildead311can you namesome examples that you oike more?

Agreed!!😊

Ngl that had to be one of the most grotesquely beautiful monster reveals I've ever seen. The effects were quite literally jaw-dropping.

@@EagleTimberWolf isn’t it fantastic? I absolutely love it! And then the spooky green comet at the end signaling the end of the world…so awesome!🥰

@@EagleTimberWolf I'm a little confused about what was inside the guy if not the same as inside the woman.

The story is pretty confusing for me, but i didn't see no one leave a comment to explain it

Even Pickman's model

…the f^ck?
