The Cthulhu Ski Mask
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Via Livejournal: The incredible originality displayed by Lovecraft fans hasn't let up yet, as new Lovecraftian creations like this Cthulhu ski mask prove. This green mask of woven tentacles is yet another way to express his presence from R'lyeh, and doubles as a warm protector for those fall and winter nights. As in the case of Cthulhuvian costumes, one has to pause and ponder the dangers of what assimilating Cthulhu's visage means. Does one begin to think like Cthulhu when masks like these are joined to the face long enough? Or, maybe the masks begin to feel a little tighter after awhile, to the point where they overpower the old face like weeds, forming the outward shell of an entirely new identity? Fortunately, such dangers, though disconcerting, aren't very likely. At least, not when the stars aren't aligned in Cthulhu's favorite bewitching way.
