Knowing there are a few, um, devotees of the giant squid, I thought some Dopers might take an interest in this story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Will they sell calamari at the snack counter?
I’d love to be eaten first! I mean, see the movie. Yeah, see the movie. That’s the ticket.
Not much of a twist if it is true to the story.
If I remember correctly, he finds he’s actually half-squid
I was just wondering what a shocking twist to a Lovecraft story would be—a happy ending with good and true love triumphing over all?
Someone doesn’t go insane.
Cthulhu is gay?! But R’lyeh is so tasteless! All those drab, dreary, slimy gray-green megaliths! And non-Euclidean geometry is so five-strange-eons-ago!
Wasn’t this movie already made as Dagon?
Cthulhu can’t be gay - He has all those tentacles, so obviously His prefered sexual partners would be nubile Japanese schoolgirls. 
Anyway, they better call up Lynn Bodoni - she managed to banish DreadCthulhu from these boards. For now.
The Dread Lord is actually a girl. Those are lesbian tentacles! 
Yeah, based on the short story “The Shadow Over Insmouth.”
Dagon was a surprisingly good little horror movie, actually. I was very pleasantly surprised when I watched it that it really captured the Lovecraft spirit.
Shouldn’t a guy named Cogswell have a company that makes cogs?
“And lo, he shall spread his vast testicles of influence and his demon seed over the land”…errr…what?
Hopefully it will be here in time for Christmas!
Am I the only one who is annoyed that so many Cthulhu movies revolve around the Deep Ones?
Yes, I know they’re the most anthropomorphic and all that, but still…

And makes them well!

I bought the DVD but haven’t watched it yet.
They’re also much easier to say than “Tsathoggua” and “Nyrlathotep” and “Shub-Niggurath.”
Tentacles! Why is it always tentacles?
Shrugs
Well, it isn’t my two cents, but they seem to please the ladies. (And some men.)
MMMmmmmmmmmmm. Lesbian tentacles.
I vaguely remember that the first scary movie I ever saw (It Came From Beneath The Sea) featured an ill-mannered giant squid.
