Providence, RI
Where do we even begin? Lovecraft was born in Providence, spent his entire life there (minus a two-year stint in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY), and painfully died there in 1937. Several of his best-known stories, including "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Curious Case of Charles Dexter Ward," spotlight Providence locales. It’s impossible to accurately surmise how much of an impact Providence had on Lovecraft, but his headstone in the city’s Swan Point Cemetery sums up the author’s own influence on the city rather modestly: "I AM PROVIDENCE"But unless you’re an art student at Providence’s prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, the city may be a bore for you. Criminals seem to like the city, reflected in it high rate of violent crime. Their roads are a mess, the cost of living is way higher than in most parts of the U.S., and for a city with an impressive downtown skyline, there is next to zero nightlife. For nerdy outsiders, we’d rather read about Lovecraft’s Providence than actually travel there.
Mastermind is a quiz program that has aired on British television for almost 40 years. The standard format is for the contestant to answer a rapid-fire series of questions on a specialized subject of their choice, followed by another round of “general knowledge” questions.
In this segment from 2006, the specialized subject is “The fiction of H.P. Lovecraft.” Have a go.
“Hey There Cthulhu” is a love song by the The Eben Brooks Brand, from their 2007 album Karaoke Bash Vol. 3. It is about a man expressing his tender love for the Dark One and his yearning for annihilation.
“I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth” is a take on the classic Christmas song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and is presented by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. It’s from their album A Very Scary Solstice. On that same album you can find “Oh Cthulhu“, which is a take on the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah”, sung by the Dagon Tabernacle Choir.
