The horror marathon begins!

I feel really sorry for all the people drooling over Jason Momoa's Aquaman. He's got a few good years in him before he goes full Ocean Man.

this answers so many questions i had about one of the oblivion questlines, where it has the deep ones mentioned, and the town above it is all burnt and the remaining people look really freaking weird. its cool that it was inspired by this.

The second half of the bloodborne dlc was inspired by the shadow over insmouth and miyazaki even credited llovecraft with a rune with the letters h.p carved in

*" Now... at my end... I can fully see. 'My last case opened in me a new fear... a real fear... a fear of myself, of what I am... and of what I have always been. 'All that I was, is now lost. Hope ? Purpose ? Pleasure ? All meaningless. 'I now walk in the shadows between worlds... and it is there I have finally glimpsed upon what lives in the dark corners of the Earth... "* *- Jack Walter's diary, last entry, 1922*

Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Ocean man, can you see through the wonder of amazement at the oberman Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth to the childlike man Ocean man, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Ocean man, ocean man Ocean man Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to the land that you understand Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Ocean man, can you see through the wonder of amazement at the oberman Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth to the childlike man Ocean man, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand Soaking up the thirst of the land Ocean man

Its beginning to look a lot like fishmen!

Now I remember the comic! It was the avatar of Nyarlatlotheps avatar, breeding the coming of Cthulhu. The baby. They also used this magic language of the Old Ones called Aklo..

I kinda like the idea that Dagon is just the oldest living deep one and thus is king. Maybe Dagon is a title. I still think hydra is a great old one. But like it needs to breed its own mate.

I was this many years old when I realized "Old Greg" was an "Old One" and thus a creation of HP Lovecraft's doing.

So much new content coming this month; it's great you guys are expanding your horizons. Can't wait to see it!

*Im not mature enough for that title*

It would be nice to feature some of Lovecraft's stories - looking into the meanings of each, and critique them. Colour out of space, Call of cthulhu, Horror at Red Hook, Music of Eric Zann, stuff like that!

You know, I am proud to be from Rhode Island (Sometimes) because HP Lovecraft is from Rhode Island (Providence Rhode Island). I've always loved this series, and myths about HP Lovecraft's works.

An excellent channel for all things Lovecraft... just don't stop. :)

More lovecraft

If you go to Hackdirt in Cyrodiil in ES IV, they mention the Deep Ones. As a lover Myth and Fiction, I am thankful for your channel. I know its not exactly your area, but for your own enjoyment. I recommend Elder Scrolls Lore. Its very interesting.

Yeah! Another excellent job! I enjoy seeing that you have posted another page in this series. The art and the obvious caring you put into the creation of this reveal a high standard that I truly appreciate. Quality sir, can speak volumes. I look forward to your book. Always, regards.

*Murlocs!* Also the one in the thumbnail kinda looks like a guy that tried to sell me car insurance.

You have brought light to the depths of an unspoken abyss. Thank you.

This looks alot like that movie "The Shape of Water".

This is getting to be one of my favorite channels

I think that the Deep Ones were Lovecraft's version of the Aquatic Ape hypothesis. This means humans may be more closely related to Deep Ones. This could mean they are trying to create Aquaman a being with the abilities of both species

You're videos have been on such a roll, Mr. Explained, and this video about the amazing and horrifying Deep Ones in the Cthulhu Mythos is so awesome! :) I can't wait for the next video! :)

That intro tho. Goosebumps!

The Lovecraft´s universe is so interesting!!! I thinks this is the perfect theme for October! Thanks!

Thank you for another great video. Lovecraft was one of the first writers I was introduced to by my Grandfather. More Cthulhu would be great.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for the Burnham lad, he worked at the-" "CAN'T RIGHTLY SAYS I KNOW 'IM"

You should do Dagon. You should also do the children of yog sothoth. Think of the shape of water when it comes to the deep ones, I think?

They doesn’t look like a fish I want to bone, Del Torro lied to me

Having yet to get to the Shadow Over Innsmouth in my own readings, I am surprised that it wasn't male deep ones and human females all this time.

It sounds like some form of overactive or underactive thyroid problem to me. Just saying. Lol. Mostly kidding. I love this video :-) Great work. You did a good job at explaining it better than I could.

I always like the way you present your topics. It feels like you are speaking and telling stories from the heart and for people who had the privilege to listen to you. (Sigh) I don't know...it's just this channel this great.☺😙💗👍

Oooo, I'm watching this at a good time. A gamer KZfaqr I enjoy watching (John Wolfe) was playing a recent game called The Sinking City that is Lovecraftian & deals with some of this. Very amusing!

Dagon is very interesting to me, in that he is just a mundane deep one. But many years has made him larger, mightier and more horrifying than most, turning him into a deity.

Love the intro, I gives those 90's story time shows vibe

Great stuff!

Bloody love the new intro, and the jedi path? That book is very interesting. Cool lore filled stuff.

Let's talk about Korean and Japanese ghosts, which were what The Grudge and The Ring (Japanese version) were based off of. Scary as freaking Hell.

Isn’t ‘The Thing that Should Not Be’ from Metallica about this? ‘Hybrid children watch the sea Pray for father roaming free’ ‘Fearless wretch insanity he watches lurking beneath the sea’ Or is it about Cthulu himself?

I just woke up and my skin is slimy and there are gills on my neck. Should I be worried?

Innsmouthers from the sinking city. Great series mate

I'm a brand new subscriber as of about 3min. ago & I'm happy 1 c u started off with some info. On the DEEP ONES,I TOTALLY LOOK 4ward 2 more interesting episodes

I really love your videos I passed all my tests because of you keep up the good work

That intro was everything. 👌

"The deep ones" sound like a group of edgy teens

Yessssssss all time favorite channel thank you for the hard work and dedication you put into each video have a happy spooky season

And here I just happen to buy a book today with Lovecrafs best stories.

I only knew about these from the Easter egg in TES Oblivion

Hellboy comics are a great source for this stuff. The ogdru jihad is obviously a ref to azathoth and they even have frogmen that are 100percent deep ones.

I never realized the fishing village in Bloodborne was inspired by Lovecraft. Obviously the Great Ones in the game are a dead ringer, but they really went the extra mile with the homage.

I have yet to figure out why this channel was recommended to me, but I am certainly not complaining.

Woah, that opening animation was awesome!

There's a movie called "Dagon" that I saw years ago when I was a kid. I never knew the name all I knew was that it was a movie about fish people. After watching this I googled Deep Ones and foudn out that the movie i saw is indeed based on The Shadow Over Innsmouth. So Thank you for helping close and near decade long mystery.

All of this lore sounds exactly like the plot of the film called Dagon. Fishing village with strange, fish like inhabitants who end up sacrificing a visitor to Dagon at the end.

Would love to see you do a video on the Nucklavee

Babylon mythology should I beg you or something?

I envy the deep ones for being able to go to the bottom of the sea without equipment.

The inspiration for Creature of the Black Lagoon and Humanoids from the Deep

Could you please do sumarian mythology

Another amazing video!

Definitely should do a video on The Great Race of Yith! Psychic time-traveling lobster monsters!

I'm loving the deep dive into the Cthulu Mythos!☠️👻👻

Yay you are back. I miss you man

Narrator:"So as we are now in october, the month of horror..." Me: *looks at date* 26th July 2019, thanks KZfaq.

For some reason deep ones are my favorite H.P. Love craft creatures... but I like it

The new intro is amazing.

Your channel is incredible! :D

Thanks,this was awesome!!

Chilling adventures of Sabrina brought me back here.

Mythology & Fiction Explained what about the Egyptian Book Of The Dead or Set for a suggestion for videos?

Well done. And you haven't offended 'The Order.' Cheers!

Love the new intro!

I love the intro and the myths

I’m pretty sure I saw my ex-husband in those first couple pictures. No, wait, the Deep Ones can think, can’t they? Very interesting video! I saw a movie called “Dagon” (sp?) about these. It was a rather rubbish movie, but I found the characters intriguing.

Could you do a video on the man that wears the yellow robes I forgotten the name. Great video keep up the good work.

Hey, it's October again, and I was wondering if you'll add to the Lovecraft mythos? How about something about The Mounds? The time travel creepiness in that story reminds me of a dream within a dream kind of thing. The Mound is also a good story to focus on if you wish to discuss Lovecraft's xenophobia and racism, which I think was the real inspiration for Lovecraft's particular brand of horror. Anyway, the Mounds in the USA were discovered to be older than people realized humanity could've existed... older than the church! Lovecraft was able to seize that sort of mind-bending pop-science and turn it into The Mound.

Will you ever going to talk about Taranis, the Celtic God of thunder? Celtic mythology is really underrated

Gotta love the little weed pipe in the cluster of canldes on the table in the intro

We don't know their end game, but the fact that they are keeping and possibly breeding shoggoths means nothing good for human kind. But some don't follow the master plan, like Asenath Waite. (Ephraim Waite, spoiler)

Thank you for the great Cathulu mitos video. Could you make a video on La Llorona for your horror marathon? Thanks.

Are you able to do one more on kitsunes?

great graphics man its awesome

C.H.U.D. was the closest to an attempt to go there without backstory (IE trying to cut out Lovecraft, imho) so it was just a rubber monster movie. But Dagon did a pretty good job of it

I have to watch shape of water again, with the fact that fishdude & the little mermaid are probably both deep ones.

The 2001 movie Dagon (directed by Stuart Gordon) is loosely based on The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

I would like to humbly make one correction. In the story obed Marsh is stated as having no intentions of handing over his daughters to the deep ones to conceive as it was agreed upon. Even after his passing, it is said that women are the ones the deep ones breed with and not males to female deep ones. The protagonist also states this by mentioning the peculiar look of a woman on his cousins side of the family. His uncle locking his cousin in a asylum due to the deformities which are actually the transformation occurring within him.

There’s something deeply satisfying about watching this while I eat Swedish fish...

These were the only creature in my first call of cthulhu game so i thought, i found out there was a leviathan that killed one of my party members

Very well animated intro

Thanks for the vid sir.

Looks like they ate a lot of sushi 🤣🤣🤣

Can you do a review on dream in the wich house

That is a beautiful intro

So glad I stumbled upon this channel. Great stuff man!

Oblivion. Town of Hackdirt.

So this was the creature from the movie the shape of water.

The marillians of chaotic were given this as an alternative name and some of them resemble the deities from lovecrafts works

I have heard the flesh of deep ones described as "Tough, yet gelatinous; with the taste of rotting fish and mineral spirirs".

could it be related to the shape of water???
