The World of Lovecraft is not a safe place for children...
Even for a G-Rated Version of Lovecraft’s world, it’s still a Cosmic Horror Story.
  • Howard seeing his father Winfield rambling to him about the apocalyptic plans of King Abdul while locked in an insane asylum can be eerie to watch, especially for children in real life who’ve had to see their parents decline in their mental state. Not to mention Howard’s father constant Madness Mantra: “He is coming…”
    • It’s implied Winfield went through many awful treatments while in the insanitarium. Especially given the time period.
  • The Shoggoth is firmly terrifying, as described by Queen Algid, and the fact it describes how it’s the one who drove Winfield insane. The fact the creature is also voiced by Ron Perlman of all people only ups the scare factor and the fact he planned on eating young Howard and slowly digesting him over a thousand years.
    Queen Algid: It is a terrible, indescribable thing. A shapeless conjury of protoplasmic bubbles with myriads of temporary eyes, forming and unforming. Quite Nasty.
  • Queen Algid Bunk revealing herself Abdul Alhazred, complete with Black Eyes of Crazy , face paint, and tentacled hair, while revealing she plans on releasing Spot’s true form as Cthulhu to sacrifice Howard and merge realities to destroy everything. The fact she randomly starts crawling on the walls like an insect only makes it more apparent she’s a Humanoid Abomination.
  • The Downer Beginning of Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom. Abdul Alhazred makes it to Howard's home, brainwashes his mother before taking both of Howard's parents hostage. Howard escapes, but Abdul manages to seal away Spot and casts a spell on Howard to turn him into a Deep One unless he learns magic to break the spell.
