If you liked the "shrieking Madness" episode of Mystery Inc, it might have been because you are a fan of the author H.P. Lovecraft and his works.
"With Mystery Inc. broken up, the gang decides to check out life after High School and spend a weekend at DARROW COLLEGE. But things don’t go as planned when a creature called CHAR GAR GOTHAKON begins terrorizing the campus. Turns out this beast is a fictional character come to life. A creation of the author H.P. HATECRAFT who is a professor at the school. Although one of the other professors, HARLAN ELLISON, claims Hatecraft is a fraud, the creature is definitely real. And when it attacks and carries off Hatecraft to his doom, the gang realizes it has to come together once again to solve this mystery and save Hatecraft’s life."
Right now on Kickstarter is a fantastic project by fans of Lovecraft called the Legends of Cthulhu which will make a line of retro action figures in the style of 1970's-80's vintage Star Wars toys. The project already soared past it's initial funding goal, but needs (as of this typing) about $90k more within the next week and a half to reach its ultimate goal which will add a 12" tall Great Cthulhu monster to the assortment of 3.75" figures . The kickstarter will also unlock a figure of Lovecraft himself soon.
So if you are interested in the source material that inspired Mystery Incorporated's H.P. Hatecraft and Char Gar Gothakon, then check out (and maybe contribute to)
