Cthulhu Filming In Seattle This Week

According to the Cthulhu blog you have today through Thursday if you want to go gawk at the movie being filmed around Seattle. Today they're scheduled to be up on First Hill, tomorrow in Rainier Beach and then Thursday should be their last day of local filming with stops at Pike Place, ConWorks and Allentown. They'll be in Goonie Country on the 22nd.

No idea what we're talking about? Cthulhu unpronouncable gibberish? You need to bone up on your Lovecraft as well as your local editorialist/screenwriter/activist/politician types. Check out the site and don't miss the trailer.
