  It is scientifically proven, that our biological ancestors left the ocean because they were scared out of their minds from what else lurks in the sea.

    I read that in Werner Herzog’s voice.

  There’s nothing to fear about a big fin squid they just want to hug you

    Isn’t it the Humboldt squid that goes after people?

      Well technically a bigfin squid has never met a human, but you know those 4-8 metre long arms are just made for hugging so if they ever did meet one that lucky human is in for one big squish.

  How to create successful cosmic horror:

  Step 1: Dive deep into the sea (in a bathyscaphe).

  Step 2: ???

  Step 3: Profit.
