The last instruction on the template for this "House of Cthulhu" papertoy reads "Open the door a crack and stand back!" Designed by Jeffery Dixon to appear as if the mighty Cthulhu has squeezed himself into a tiny shack, building this toy was good creepy fun. The best part was it only about took ten minutes to put together. This papertoy was created in 2008 and is available for download here.
If you ever need a quick Chthulhu mask, :) this may be just the thing for you. Print, cut out, and you are ready to go. The ever popular Chthulhu is a horrific cosmic being originally created by writer H. P. Lovecraft. This particular mask was created by artist David Galvan for Halloween 2007. Looking closely, it appears that the mask was created from photographs of actual tentacles and scales. Downloads of the mask in either jpg or pdf format are available here. PS, A previous post of mine on Cthulhu papercraft can be found here. Be on the lookout for more in the future!
Here are three papertoys from the realm of Lovecraftian horror literature. Writer H. P. Lovecraft and his circle of authors created a shared fictional universe. In this universe there are various arcane books of forbidden lore which reveal secrets about ancient monstrous entities. The black book is a papertoy of Unaussprechlichen Kulten, a book first appearing in the works of Robert E. Howard. The yellow papertoy book is De Vermis Mysteriis first seen in the works of Robert Bloch. On top of the books is a papertoy of Cthulhu, one of the ancient entities often mentioned in Lovecraftian literature. Each of these toys was created by Jerom, France, 2007 and can be found here, here, and here.
Well, it's not Cthulhu, but it comes close. Dubbed the "Elder Things" by the Antarctic explorers who found them in H. P. Lovecraft's novella At the Mountains of Madness, these creatures were thought by the explorers to be extraterrestrials who colonized Earth one billion years ago. This papercraft Elder Thing was created by UK artist Wayne Peters for use in 28mm scale role-playing games. The PDF template is located here. [via Propnomicon]
