I think a huge proportion of the Doctor Who t.v. show has been inspired by Lovecraft's creations.<br /><br />I don't know if you like Heavy Metal music, but an awful lot of Heavy Metal lyrics have been influenced by Lovecraft.<br /><br />For me, the Old Ones are real. I see them as fictional representations of the evil and ancient cosmic powers that I believe exist, being a Christian.<br /><br />I believe there are evil cosmic beings that hold this world in their grip.<br /><br />I suppose that means I go with Auguest Derleth's moral, rather than Lovecraft's amoral interpretation of the Old Ones.Matthew Celestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874430461346560520noreply@blogger.com
