Here's what the guy on the other group said about comparing Prometheus to "At the Mountains of Madness"-- --Van
Alien planet = Antarctica Weyland expedition = Miskatonic Expedition Engineers = Star-Headed Old Ones Alien Mutations/Goo = Shoggoths. In Lovecraft's novel, the Miskatonic expedition discovers that the star-headed Old Ones created humanity. The same Old Ones also genetically bred the monstrous Shoggoths. The Old ones lose control of the Shoggoths. Those Old Ones not killed by the Shoggoths go into suspended animation until being reawakened by the Miskatonic Expedition. The Old Ones attack the humans. The Shoggoths then attack both the humans and the revived Old Ones. The Miskatonic expedition even found beheaded corpses Old Ones (just as the Weyland expedition found a beheaded Engineer). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
