This is why Lovecraft's writing was so special, it only really works in written form and allows your brain to do the heavy lifting (though unfortunate that his terror of the unknown came from his deep racism. Don't look up the name of his ~~dog~~ cat 😬).
If people are impressed by the reply in the OP, they should try reading The Shadow over Innsmouth, or At the Mountains of Madness.
No offense to OP, but it makes that look like a child wrote it.
Read books, y'all!
