It does surprisingly fit together very well. It could be that Seuss' art style, while whimsical can also be quite surreal and unnerving. Look up Grinch Night, for instance, and you'll see what I mean. As for the writing, the simple rhyme scheme is effective at translating the story into a concise retelling that feels like a mix of a song and a dream.
This is quite entertaining while maintaining the feel of the lovecraftian mythologies. The process of weeding through to get the good (by good I mean the well & truly disturbing) leaves the feel that something is terribly wrong! Well done!
This production is genius on multiple levels. Matching Seuss’s simple rhythm is harder than it looks. Imitating Seuss’s confident stroke and design without simply copying pictures requires a hand already well-practiced in several styles of art. Summarizing a venerated work in the briefest terms that still carries the original literary gem takes practice. And to even come up with this idea in the first place indicates a mind that anyone should love to learn from by a fireplace some rainy evening. Well done!!!

Lovecraft’s work never really got or gets the respect it deserves, but this does it well. It also rhymes with a rhythm that’s stuck in my head, with well done art that captured the dread.
My daughter has been really into wanting to watch and read scary movies and stories. I read her a couple stories from H.P. Lovecraft's vault but she said she couldn't understand them. These are absolutely perfect!
I started reading E.A. Poe around 7th or 8th grade, I believe, when I just came across a book of some of his more notable stories in my junior-high library. Might try out some of those. A little more accessible than Lovecraft, I think.
In Cthulhu’s mind “Who the heck are you? What are you doing on my property? Shoo! Get outta here!” And then he gets ran over by a boat and he’s just like “Ow! You jerks! Ugh… imma go sleep this off… I’ll deal with you jerks after I’m done with my nap…”
I've certainly posted this elsewhere but I'll do it again: your take is true to the lore. The point of Lovecraftiana is that the Elder Gods existed aeons before us, and consider us like we'd consider a centipede scuttling across our kitchen-floor. The centipede doesn't understand what a 'kitchen' is; and we wouldn't care to communicate that concept with the centipede.
Polish author Maciej Jasiński wrote three books called "Jak wytresować Cthulhu" or "How to tame Cthulhu". It's about a girl who summoned Cthulhu to be her friend. Elder god ended up reduced in power since her summoning was well...half assed in a kid friendly way. Yup, these books were for kids, written in "Chose your own adventure" fashion.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SACRAFICE A CHRISTIAN CHILD!" "My teddy bear believed in God!" "And what about the bloodwax candles huh?" "THOSE ARE CRAYONS YOU MELTED WITH A HAIRDRYER!"

"NO YOU DID NOT CTHULHU FTAHGN!" a toddler and am elder god then bickered for 15 more minutes until mom came home and grounded them both.

RJ Ivankovic also released a Seuss-ian adaptation of Dagon.

I'm buying a copy of this book for my now-adult granddaughter who teaches pre-school. I read Hobbit to my pre-schoolers in my day, she can introduce hers to Cthulu. :) She's going to love this.
As somebody who avoids scary stuff as much as possible since it lives in my head weeks and weeks after I’ve done; this was perfect for me, especially since I love Seuss! This is absolutely genius level work!
WOW! This is awesome! I'm going to share this with my grandchildren. I'm teach them spells this would be excellent background for those events. Thank you Dr.Seuss! 🤗
There needs to be more lovecraft stories like these! Edit: ok, I’ve found 2 other-and im guessing older-versions of this on RUclips (though the readings aren’t done as well as yours), but I can’t decide which one’s my favorite *written* version!
this is so well done, the calm reading, sfx & music are perfectly synced to the amazing adaption & illustrations. thank you very much for making & sharing your video from a lifelong dr seuss fan with a deep appreciation & fondness for all things lovecraft!
This was absolutely fantastic! Your narration, the art and writing style of Dr Seuss really worked extremely well in bringing one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most popular stories to life. I would’ve never thought to blend these two wildly different styles together but I gotta say it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for uploading this video! Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Cheers!
I'm wondering that myself. I do know that the chant clip of "Ia, ia, Cthulhu fhtagn" was used as the intro to the song Mother of Abominations by Cradle of Filth.
@@jeremyallen492 , the words:- 'And a good sixty to'; 'filled with'; and 'absolutely' are "filler BS" in your own report... So what? Tolkien probably never started a sentence with the word "And" and i doubt he would have omitted the neccessarry punctuation... 😉
The plot reminds me of a SciFi book I read back in the 60s. The main character researched a cult. He eventually found the city rising from the ocean. He was chased by the sole inhabitant of the city. He rammed the bow of his cargo ship into the head of the creature. But, in this story, the creatures head burst killing the creature from the 4th dementional city.
Actually there are individual paintings by Seuss which are very mature and otherworldly. They resemble his kids books but in actual theme they are very dark and in spirit very Lovecraftian. I wonder whether the creator of these parody Seuss alike books(if they’re real books and not just digital creations) was inspired by that.
I’ll never have children of this I am sure. But if by some strange machination of fate, some little ones I find I must simply elate. Then I’m sure that each and every night, this book I simply could not keep out of sight. For when they where all cozy and snug in their beds, tales of great Cthulhu I shortly would shed. For monster and madness you can’t comprehend are nightmares best shared with children of men.
I was listening to this while grooming myself When suddenly my hair dryer fell from the shelf It must have hit something, but nothing was found It turned on without ever touching the ground
T'is true, I say! I'll tell you no lies I witnessed such an event with my very own eyes. I watched this video at almost a quarter to 4 And an unseen force banged on my door. I started, I shouted, jumped right out of my pants It made my skin crawl like I was covered in ants I looked outside, why, I looked all around! But the source of the bang was not to be found There were no screeches from owls, no howls from the hound not a clue to the source of that startling sound All was now silent, for in the night the world sleeps It was eerie I tell you, it gave me the creeps! So here I now sit, relaying to you Of the fright I received at 3:42 You may scoff, you may laugh- as most people do But I'm telling you, friend, that my story is true!
This is great! Excellent copping of Dr. Seuss' art style! I'm thinking, however, that the rhymes sound more like Edward Gorey- and that Mr. Gorey's style would lend itself to Lovecraftian subjects very well, also.
Seuss did create a sort of horror for kids back in the 50s called The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T It's brilliant, I think, and nightmarish, and while it was a flop in the day it deserves to be touched up, lightly edited and re-released.
The original story described how C'thulu's city was made of unnatural angles, impossible to comprehend. Of coarse only Dr. Seuss could adapt that!
Non Euclidean geometry in the prose of Dr. Seuss!
@@dalelerette206 Non-Euclidean geometry, non-Homerian poetry, non-Ciceronian prose...
@@tarvoc746 Well said my friend.

Love this little adaptation. I read a review once that described it perfectly- it doesn’t make Lovecraft cute, it makes Dr. Seuss scary
Katie is cloverfield
It rhymed!

Seuss was always scary
😆🤣
Why does Dr. Seuss and Cthulhu go so well together?!
By the way, great job reading this.
It does surprisingly fit together very well. It could be that Seuss' art style, while whimsical can also be quite surreal and unnerving. Look up Grinch Night, for instance, and you'll see what I mean.
As for the writing, the simple rhyme scheme is effective at translating the story into a concise retelling that feels like a mix of a song and a dream.
Dr. Seuss, goes well with anything. His style is just rhyming and a simplistic art style. Very charming and stands the test of time.
This is quite entertaining while maintaining the feel of the lovecraftian mythologies. The process of weeding through to get the good (by good I mean the well & truly disturbing) leaves the feel that something is terribly wrong! Well done!
Because Dr. Seuss is secretly a Cosmic Horror writer and artist.

Or his WWII propaganda posters
He was.

I'd make a joke about my father reading this to me as a child but that feels like something he would actually do
I'm a father with a young son. He's already got my cthulhu plushie. This is happening.
Imagine going to a young children's school donating a bunch of old Dr. Seuss books and slipping this one in there.
I'm normally harsh on lovecraft reimaginings, but this is really good. Thumbs up.
I so agree with your comments
This is an excellent initiative: children should know what awaits them when the Old Ones come back!

I need this book, right now
Yeah me too
Great adaptation. Reminds me of Green Eggs and Horror. It’s Dr.Seuss stories retold as horror stories.
Delightful! The only thing that could make this better wold be to have it read by Boris Karloff or Vincent Price
I wish it was read by either one of them.
Yeah, it would work.
This is a great collaboration between Dr. Seuss and H.P Lovecraft
Really well done ! Bravo for a fun read and clever adaptation of “call of Cthulhu “
This was so awesome I had to give it two thumbs and eight tentacles up.
WOW! This is awesome! I'm going to share this with my grandchildren. I'm teach them spells this would be excellent background for those events. Thank you Dr.Seuss! 🤗
Honestly I wouldn't have included the sound effects, it's otherwise pretty good.
Cthulhu's sleep-paralysis demon must be nuts.

I'm so glad this popped up! It's fantastic!
Love to see "Dreams In The Witch House," and "Beyond The Wall Of Sleep" done is Seussian fashion. This was quite fascinating to watch and listen to.
And this is why Dr. Seuss creeped me out as a child.
I thought it funny as heck that I saw Dr Seuss illustrations only to find out it is still terrifying as the original.
