The First Lovecraft Inspired Music Video?

Youtube was recently graced with this odd clip, which holds quite a few similarities to the type of music video you expect to see elsewhere online and on the major cable channels. This live action enactment of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen" is pretty well done for what looks like an amateur effort. It even contains computer generated animation of Innsmouth's Deep Ones--in each stage of their hideous transformation.

The song is taken from a CD put out a few years ago by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. The full album (Very Scary Solstice) contains a number of comical and rather creative parodies of traditional Christmas carols set to Lovecraftian lyrics. While there may be a few other contenders vying for the title of the first "Lovecraftian music video," this is certainly one of the most creative and the first to appear as a self-made effort presented online.
