Sometime in 2009, the film The Darkest Evil will come to light. Starring Jeffrey Combs as the half monstrosity Wilbur Whatley and Dean Stockwell as Dr Henry Armitage, a professor and librarian at Miskatonic University dedicated to defeating the evils of the Cthulhu mythos. The movie is a new iteration of the classic H P Lovecraft tale The Dunwich Horror.

Of particular interest is Dean Stockwell, who starred in another movie version of this Lovecraft story -called rightly The Dunwich Horror. Sadly, filmed in the 1970’s and starring the popular Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell’s version of Wilbur Whatley failed to capture the real horror of the story.

All Miskatonic University freshmen, except under express permission from a senior administrator, must live on campus - and most young, unmarried men live in the Pickman Freshman Dorm. The Pickman Freshman Dorm is a very long building and one of the older buildings on campus. It includes rest rooms and showers at the end of each floor, and a central dining hall for students. One room is set up, fully furnished, with desks, chairs, beds and closets so that typical dorm room scenes can be rapidly created.

In an inner courtyard, the baker and his slaves use two types of ovens - a traditional in ground oven, and more modern above ground oven. Egyptian bakeries can be found throughout any Egyptian city of the ancient world.

The hard working ancient Egyptian laborer comes home to a brick and stone two room home. Stairs built up one wall lead to the roof, where reed mats provide some respite. Inside a front room is available with a few wooden pieces of furniture, where all food preparation and family activities take place. A back bedroom provides some little privacy to the laborer and his wife. One luxury is a senet game to play with his wife or visiting friends.

Below the Peeslee School of Medicine, there’s almost more activity than on the main floor! The basement can be reached by stairs from the main building or by way of a private, concrete ramp for corpse delivery. Students can gather in a large medical theatre or in a large operating room. A smaller operating room is also available. The chief surgeon’s office is nearby, and there’s a morgue for keeping corpses cool and ready for examination.

The River Folk are not great workers of stone, but they recognize the value of sites developed by fallen and ancient civilizations. The River Folk Toll Bridge is built on ancient stonework, with new wooden ramps cunningly built, and a complete fortress dominating the middle span. Non-River Folk are offered passage over the bridge, but at a modest payment based on numbers of feet. Two level defensive walls and a modest tower help ensure people pay.

Most river villages have more than one floating market, some closely interlinked with specific neighborhoods, while others are on the edge - deep in the river - to provide easier access to goods coming from up or down river. This two story building has access gates on the top floor, allowing goods to be hoisted up or down directly from the water. Floating markets are open inside, allowing live goods to remain fresh, in the water and for a fresh breeze to keep the air breathable. Read the rest of this entry »
