Hmphth.
I gather the sound track was in Japanese? Anyone able to provide a translation?
I seem to recall, from back in the very dark ages when I was typing up the masters for some Call of Cththulhu material, that Shub-Niggurath is known as The Black God of the Woods With a Thousand Young. What happened to the other 998 and when did they stop being kids and become squids?

Nice. Note the names of the students who interrupt the lecture:
Mr. Bloch, Mr. Derleth, and Mr. Lovecraft.

They're NOT at Miskatonic. Professor Peabody borrowed (stole?) his copy of the Necronomicon *from* Miskatonic.

Religion, I should think, and I used to know what it's LoC number would've begun with, because UC Berkeley uses it. But it's been too long.

College of Unnatural Sciences...
Back in the days of BBSs I frequented Illuminati Online which was the BBS for Steve Jackson Games. One of the ... (threads?, forums?, boards?!) boards was Illuminati University complete with colleges and deans etc. It didn't bust my gut, but it was fun.
I wonder if there's any remnant of it out in the wild on the internet. Archangel Beth was in charge, IIRC, can't remember what that made her.
