Did you ever see the “Real Ghostbusters” cartoon in the eighties? If so, which of the multiple episodes dealing with the nythos did you enjoy the most? ---

> [@Scott\_plaid](#): > > Did you ever see the “Real Ghostbusters” cartoon in the eighties? If so, which of the multiple episodes dealing with the nythos did you enjoy the most? OTTOMH, I can only remember one episode “The Collect Call Of Cthulhu”. It had eldritch horrors. It had the Necronomicon. It even had pulp magazines. My only problem with it was that, for reasons I still cannot understand, they made Cthulhu bright red. IIRC “He makes Gozer look like little molly sunshine.” “You’re such a pollyanna, Egon.” “Acolyte creatures who serve the big guy.” The story Ray relies on for knowledge of how to defeat Cthulhu was entitled “Horror From The Depths” ---

Paul Din wrote that episode. I understand he works on Babylon 5, which was a show which had creature from befor the dawn of time, and squid heade aliens.

Are you religious in any way, and if so, how do the mythos factor into that? Yes, I really do. Everything exists somewhere, and so somewhere out there, there’s a Mythos universe. ---

Over here? “The Big Squid” as you so dismissively called him is right on this earth. You have better show some respect, or you will not be among those eaten first. You could find out more about it here, or at least you could if those upstart worshippers of new gods weren’t being such little brats.
