Myth'Os
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
This spoof commercial for Myth'Os has made the rounds online previously. However, this is the first time I've encountered it on Youtube (and thus in an easily embedded format). It originally premiered several years ago at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, and it ranks high on the list of clever and humorous Lovecraftian marginalia. It also brings the interesting and alarming notion that we may not be too many years off from a real version of Myth'Os.
Lovecraft's popularity continues to grow exponentially, but this alone would not be enough to thrust him into the realm of popular cereals. On the other hand, a blockbuster movie carrying his name and influence could plausibly arise in the cereal market. Did someone say Anarctic'Os, based off Guillermo del Toro's upcoming adaption of "At the Mountains of Madness" proposed for 2010? I hope so. Mainly because I just want my free Shining Trapezohedron.
