* "The Haunting" has been the game's starter adventure for forty years. Therefore, there's four decades' worth of players who have stories about that damn bed catapulting them out the window.

Moment page is for moment from the work, not fan work.


* As noted on the main page, FanFic/OldManHenderson, the man who beat Call of Cthulhu. [[DeathFromAbove He dropped a yacht on a penthouse full of cultists]], completely wrecked every single one of the GM's plots, killed most of the other [=PCs=] multiple times, and permanently killed Hastur with a hockey rink packed full of explosives.
* Website/SomethingAwful's [[http://www.somethingawful.com/dungeons-and-dragons/call-of-cobain/1/ playthrough]] of the 1990s handbook, where Zack decided to play as dead 90s celebrities [[{{Music/Nirvana}} Kurt Cobain]], [[Music/{{NWA}} Eazy-E]] and [[Music/{{TLC}} Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes]]. Cue much BlackComedy and [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crossing the Line Twice.]]
** Now with a [[http://www.somethingawful.com/dungeons-and-dragons/morton-downey-cobain/1/ sequel]], where the scenario has been modified so that the BigBad is ''[[Series/TheMortonDowneyJrShow Morton Downey Jr]]''.
*** At one point the trio gets surrounded by dozens of police officers and FBI agents, leading to this [[EstablishingSeriesMoment defining exchange]]:
--> '''[[CloudCuckoolander Steve:]]''' In his [[SanitySlippage current condition]], can Eazy-E [[SummonBiggerFish summon a]] [[EldritchAbomination Servitor of the Outer Gods]]?
--> '''[[OnlySaneMan Zack:]]''' [[NotSoAboveItAll Oh my god, yes.]] [[RuleOfFunny I don't know if the rules say yes, but for purposes of comedy, I say yes.]]
** Even better is that servitor, named "[[Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney Station]]" [[ItMakesSenseInContext by a reggae-spouting Eazy-E]], doesn't just help deliver a ''spectacular'' CurbStompBattle [[MookHorrorShow on the horrified police officers/FBI agents]], but sticks around as a TeamPet (thanks to E [[LoopholeAbuse making sure his "one command" for the servitor]] [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu was to become his friend]]). And that's BEFORE the [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome genuinely insane grand finale against Downey at the last Presidential Debate...]]
*** And to top it all off? The SequelHook that was [[JustBetweenYouAndMe delivered by Morton Downey Jr. when confronted by the protagonists]] evidently involved UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein trying to follow up on the works of the ''other'' "[[TheRedBaron Mad Arab]]" of the Cthulhu Mythos, and [[SummonBiggerFish was apparently going to summon Nyarlathotep]] (even though the team's Mythos master Eazy-E didn't know who Nyarlathotep was in-game at that point). So, what's the next module for the "Call of Cobain" campaign? What could be a more perfect title for a mashup of Cosmic Horror, SoBadItsGood films of TheNineties, and UsefulNotes/TheGulfWar than ''[[Film/HardTicketToHawaii Hard Ticket To Baghdad]]?'' [[http://www.somethingawful.com/dungeons-and-dragons/hard-ticket-cthulhu/ They even had a poster contest for it and everything!!!]]

* The module ''Fear of Flying'' has Alfred Clark, the secret [[SnakePeople Serpent Person]] who [[BornUnlucky must have slighted Yig in a past life]]. He's supposed to [[KillAndReplace kill and take the likeness of a foreign industrialist]] to take over his factory for evil Serpent Person plots. Instead, he manages to almost bungle the operation by accidentally walking into the wrong, very much occupied hotel room, covered in blood after skipping out for a midnight snack of dog (and of course is one of the PC's rooms), accidentally getting his picture taken which may (or may not) reveal his true nature as a Serpent Person which results in him killing the photographer before the photo gets developed in what may (or may not be) a fit of unfounded paranoia, and gets revealed anyway by an airline stewardess accidentally spilling a cup of really hot coffee in his lap, which breaks his disguise spell. The best part about this being that [[LateToTheRealization he has no idea the spell's been broken]] and is still frantically dabbing a napkin on his scaly lap and calling the stewardess an idiot, only to realize the jig is up when people start screaming about a snake monster and drawing guns on him.

* One of the spells in the Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Spell handbook is Feast of Owl, which teleports a small burrowing owl inside the target's stomach, forcing it to eat it's way out of the target, which is Obviously horrible, but it's quite the absurd way of attacking and one could imagine the owl being just as panicked and confused as the receiver.
