When Scooby-Doo met Cthulhu (and Harlan Ellison)

A few clips from the recent Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Shrieking Madness." The Youtube description says:

With Mystery Inc. broken up, the gang decides to check out life after High School and spend a weekend at DARROW COLLEGE. But things don't go as planned when a creature called CHAR GAR GOTHAKON begins terrorizing the campus. Turns out this beast is a fictional character come to life. A creation of the author H.P. HATECRAFT who is a professor at the school. Although one of the other professors, HARLAN ELLISON, claims Hatecraft is a fraud, the creature is definitely real. And when it attacks and carries off Hatecraft to his doom, the gang realizes it has to come together once again to solve this mystery and save Hatecraft's life.

"Hatecraft" is played by Jeffrey Combs. Via.

1. Fun time waster: Knifetank: The Hauntening, a web based point and click adventure in a creepy mansion.

2. Long article at Fast Company about Boing Boing. This quote from Cory Doctorow struck home:

"I don't know what a liquidity event for Boing Boing would look like," Doctorow continues, "except for a job. If we were acquired by some content giant, if Yahoo or someone bought us out, it's just a job at Yahoo." (This is purely hypothetical, he says.) "If I wanted a job at Yahoo, I'd go look for a job there; they post listings pretty regularly. I'm glad not to have a job. I don't want a job."

I came to that same realization after an extremely short-lived experiment blogging elsewhere earlier this year. So short I didn't even have time to mention it here.

So I received a zombie-killing kit

or more precisely, a kit full of helpful aids to restore my energy after a long day slaughtering zombies:















It's a clever promotion for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! Copies are only $7 at Amazon and of course would make a perfect holiday gift.

Even better, the kits themselves are also available for purchase. Lizzy Bennet has her own Etsy shop where you can purchase your own Unmentionable Preparedness Kit:

A kit of balms, salves, and restoratives from my apothecary, which you may use to defend yourself against the impending zombie plague. Additionally, a hardcover biography, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a tale inspired by my family’s struggle to defeat the unmentionables.

Includes Bleed-Banishing Balm, Gnaw-be-Gone Purifying Poultice, Reanimate and Perambulate Smelling Salt.

The other major characters also have their own web presences, including OK Cupid profiles, Facebook accounts, Last.fm channels, and more.
