The Good Friends of Jackson Elias, Podcast Episode 158: Mythos Deities: Hastur

The Good Friends of Jackson Elias, Podcast Episode 158: Mythos Deities: Hastur (audio product)


Episode 158: Mythos Deities: Hastur For the past few episodes, we’ve explored the Carcosa Mythos of Robert W Chambers. Its most famous elements — The King in Yellow, the Yellow Sign and Hastur — are usually seen as part of the Cthulhu Mythos, but we worked hard to keep these elements separate. Well, this is the episode in which we mash it all up again. Hail Hastur! We go on a deep dive into...   [click here for more]

Episode 159: Martyrs We’re back and we’re putting ourselves through torments. Watching Pascal Laugier’s 2008 horror film Martyrs is not necessarily a pleasant experience. This is not to say that it is a bad film — quite the opposite. It is, however, a gruelling one. The unrelenting cruelty and torture it depicts make it highly divisive. Not only is Martyrs viscerally nasty but it is emotionally...   [click here for more]

Episode 160: Keeping Cthulhu Scary This episode is our look at what makes a game of Call of Cthulhu scary. We focus on Call of Cthulhu because that’s what we do, but the elements we discuss could apply to any horror game. Fear is a pretty universal thing. When we say that fear is universal, we mean that there are some main strands of fear that run through us all. The specifics and triggers may...   [click here for more]
