Sea Monsters? I don't think they'd look quite like that but they're definetely out there. Well, when I say that I don't mean maliscious lobster men or CRAB PEOPLE, but there are some scary things lurking in the deep. We've explored so little of the sea itself, new species are being discovered every day. And we all know about the bloop...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop Sure, we know about Giant/collosal squid, and of course there are whales that could survive down there. Just because we haven't seen it, doesn't mean there isn't anything larger.

Everyone's favourite Elder God. :D
Also: I'm currently watching Dagon and I like it very very much. More than I probably should.

Dagon is really good. I think in certain ways, it's the most faithful Lovecraft adaptation out there.

And I hate to say it, with the exception of The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath and Pickman's Model, I'm not into most of the mythos stuff all that much. I prefer Hands of Erich Zann and The Colour Out of Space to The Call of Cthulhu, which I wasn't all that impressed by.

Huge fan of every piece of Lovecraft's writing. He makes the silliest monsters truly creepy and imparts a real feeling of dread.

Get to reading Ferret- you can't become a horror writer without having read Lovecraft.

Lovecraft's greatest strength, in my opinion, was the fact that while his writing is often verbose and (occasionally overly) baroque, his descriptions of horror were always so wonderfully restrained, leaving the readers' minds to create things far more terrifying than words could express. Even more so because of his otherwise wordiness, I think. Anyway, it's something we really take for granted today when it comes to horror.
Good stuff, Lovecraft. Also, Lovecraft fans should love this: McSweeney's: Selections from H.P. Lovecraft's Brief Tenure as a Whitman's Sampler Copywriter
