Call of Cthulhu is a pretty weak story tbh, the best ones are Color out of space, Rats in the walls (even if the cat is called friend of the family-man) and The Dunwich horror

What's really funny is, Cthulhu, at least in the Lovecraftian canon or w/e, is not a huge deal. He's like the high priest of a race of aliens who arrived on earth 1 billion years ago and fought another alien race. Not some omnipresent deity, more of a kaiju demi-god. He seriously gets K.O'd by a steamship ramming him in the face in The Call of Cthulhu. He's got nothing on the actual gods in the mythos like Shub-Niggurath or Nyarlathotep.

Dagon is an even bigger bitch, he's basically Cthulhu's high priest

I don't know jack poo poo about Cthulhu but I've been seeing references about that poo poo online for nearly 20 years. Metallica had a great instrumental named after Call of Cthulhu but they spelled it "Ktulu" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1RTgznup5c

um EXCUSE ME i dunno where this information is coming from that cthulhu is "lesser" but UH...quote:An ongoing theme in Lovecraft's work is the complete irrelevance of mankind in the face of the cosmic horrors that apparently exist in the universe, with Lovecraft constantly referring to the "Great Old Ones": a loose pantheon of ancient, powerful deities from space who once ruled the Earth and who have since fallen into a deathlike sleep.[3]
