Some Things Man Was Meant to Know!

And now a word for our sponsors . . . Casting Call of Cthulhu would like to thank a long list of people who have, against their better judgement, made our little blemish on film so big in such a short time. The film premiered at the Riofan Film Festival on May 11 and managed to snag a key screening slot before the ever-popular The Call of Cthulhu. At the same time the film had its web premiere on Yog Radio , who have been fulfilling our Lovecraft fix for the last ten years, and within weeks the film saw 6000 downloads and hundreds of hits trafficked to this location. Now the film is infecting the inter-web as bloggers and news-feeds pimp our content to the world. One good click deserves another so what lies below are links to the various sites that have sited us:

We’ve also been unlucky enough to have some Lovecraft luminaries curse our offering with quotes and incantations. Here’s a distaste of what they have said:

“Most amusing! That cone-shape creature was quite a triumph of special effects.”
S.T. Joshi, Leading Authority on Lovecraft

“A great piece of work, witty and inventive, very impressive animation too.”
John Coulthart, Illustrator, Designer, and Author of “THE HAUNTER OF THE DARK
AND OTHER GROTESQUE VISIONS”

” A great little Lovecraftian short that is sure to be playing at the HPL Film Fest this year.”
Toren Atkinson, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

“Absolutely Gibbous! MONOLITHIC, AND I MEAN THAT IN THE MOST CYCLOPEAN AND NON-EUCLIDEAN WAY!! EIGHT TENTACLES!”
Paul Carrick, Illustrator

“An Amazing Tale, I’m sure old HPL would approve!”
Paul of Cthulhu, Yog Radio

“Brilliant…has Lovecraft rolling in his grave, from laughter!”
Craig Mullins, Unfilmable.com

Thanks again to everyone. We’ll keep making them as long as you give us your eyes . . . and keep watching.

Support Unspeakable Evil in Style

Casting Call of Cthulhu needs your support.  Contrary to popular belief, one cannot produce a short film on evil thoughts and unwell wishes alone.  It takes a camera, some actors (who demand food for sustainance), and monsters, which we chose to create rather than summon, using make-up and CGI.  And now the price must be paid.  For as little as $19.00 you can support the production of CCOC and have a killer T-shirt (note:  the shirt will not actual harm you or anyone else nor will it transform the wearer into a killer when adorned).  Visit UptownHustle and choose from a wide variety of styles for men and women.  Buy now and we will include your name in our weekly arcane incantations.

Iä Tunes!

If you are looking for the highest quality version of Casting Call of Cthulhu on the world wide internet then Yog Radio is the key and the gate.  Yog was kind enough to distribute our film through their website and iTunes to its base of loyal Lovecraft fans and Call of Cthulhu gamers.  As this entry is written the film has already been downloaded 6000 times – that’s some serious bit-rate build-up as the short comes in around 114 megs.  To share the band-with burden and show our support Bad Advice for Good Times has made a donation to Yog and paid their service cost for the last month.  If you’ve got a virtual fiver burning a hole in you pocket support the unspeakable and make a donation yourself.  And while you’re at it why not help out your favourite short by buying a shirt and helping us pay the production cost for our film.  Laughter isn’t free, people.
