A Shoggoth on the Roof

The video below is from a musical that parodies A Fiddler on the Roof by combining it with the Lovecraft Mythos, which is a sub-genre of the horror story, based off of the short stories and novellas of H.P. Lovecraft. The Lovecraft Mythos involves such things as mutated fish men, cults, and unspeakably cosmically evil monster/gods that turn any men who see them insane. More info on his stories can be found here. Naturally, this meshes well with A Fiddler on the Roof.

I found the video highly amusing, but if you're unfamiliar with either Lovecraft or Fiddler, you might not. It's elitist that way.

Also, I need to figure out how to embed youtube vids in my blog... Some other time.
