The term "eldritch" is used to describe something that is eerie, strange, or otherworldly, often associated with horror or the supernatural.

I’ma just sum up Eldritch with a quote
“Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing, and before there was nothing there were monsters.”

The reason it's getting so popular is that it's comforting on a subconscious level. If humans aren't important, we don't have any sort of cosmic responsibility.

I wish there were more movies with this type of horror. The whole "cosmic horror" genre has sadly very few movies and even fewer that are really good. The Thing, Alien, Event Horizon are among the best, but also some more recent productions like The Endless or Annihilation are really good.

I loved looking at the illustrations in the book i had

I had a terrifying ketamine trip, humans were all just something like meat puddle batteries going towards some eye of Sauron tower . Millions of people screaming and confused .. was the most nightmarish thing I've ever encountered

This feels like someone asked ChatGPT to explain Eldritch Horror

i also like the philosophical interpretations involved with these beings.
so beyond a mortals comprehensions that to just look at a single hair of the true form would shrivel your mind to pure madness

[anthonyromero]

I interpret "eldritch" to mean loosely "from a far away realm." Whether it be a physical distant or a mental distance far from what you can understand or imagine, to me the word "eldritch" inherently implies a sense of distance.

could you imagine seeing something like the last one? i gues like any of them really, but that last one got me

What I love with Eldritch horror is that like reminder how Humanity are just too small compared with this insanely huge Universe, Which make our arrogance is so insignificant and pointless

Mouths, suckers, eyes, tentacles removing faces and souls.

So he tapped into the consciousness of the beings that hold mankind to cosmic responsibility or is it they are the consequences of failing this duty?

💀..BANG !!! BRILLIANT Explanation !!! 👏

These pictures dont do it justice. The true horror of madness is the terrifying realization that nothing you thought you knew that was, is. And whatever is, is too bizarre and weird to even begin wrapping your mind around it. Like how the moon isnt a celestial body, but an entity that happens to be exacly large enough, and spins around the earth is such a way that moon eclipses exist, the entire sun hides exacly behind the moon. What are the odds.

Cosmic coincidenes should not exist, like a field full of lucky clovers, or a natural forest growing symetrically

Bro I just wanted to listen to the spot theme and the first comment said the picture looked like eldritch horror

I’m new to this horror genre - does anyone know any good books in this genre

[Shumomaley]

Clicked because I thought that was a tyranide bioform

I have an app for the H.P Lovecraft so I'm reading the storyteller books

You should explain why the term 'Eldritch' would be used. Is it a synonym for 'Lovecraftian'? I assume it's not because you describe it as a subgenre.
