The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program

The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program is pleased to present The Sprouting as a "Haunter in the Dark" - our spotlight on some of our favorite horror stories. Once upon an apocalypse, eldritch plants overran the modern world as you know it and the fabric of reality twisted in the grasp of malignant magical bargains. Ever since THE SPROUTING… the humans who remain struggle to trust their own senses and must learn instead to trust one another to survive.

Content Warning: This episode contains harsh language, violence, gore, guns, death, insects, and scenes of horror and post apocalyptic survival.

The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program’s Cthulhu Cthommentary Arcane Advent concludes and rings in the New Year In the Mouth of Madness.

Join showrunner Cat Blackard, Keeper Luke Stram, Omniverse's Doug Banks, and illustrator Jarrod on a nightmarish road trip that'll leave you forever changed. This film is no clear-cut adaptation, but our Cthommentary unpacks it's significant inspiration from specific Lovecraft stories and even stories that inspired Lovecraft; as well as the film's commentary on the influence of media and perceived reality in a way that's chillingly more poignant in the decades since it debuted.
