i'll have to try the ouija board
Never EVER try the ouija board! Did you not learn anything from ‘The Exorcist’?

if you left for the family vacation home for the season n a propane tank, a flashlight, flashlight batteries, are gone is it even worth calling the cops?
Yes, call the police. Broken Windows Theory.

king in yellow was before lovecraft, which was inspired by ambrose bierce's "an inhabitant of carcosa"
i do have a lovecraft deck tho
azathoth, specifically. the artwork is beautiful n appropriately madness inducing

both decks look awesome, especially that lovecraft deck you just showed. havent been into tarot in a long time but i might have to get one, if nothing else than for the art.

yeh i only get pretty cards. a tarot deck is like, 20$ on the expensive side, n 78 pieces of unique art. lot cheaper than a photography book on the living room table, tbh

kinda wrote this fucky n there's no edit button
so, ambrose bierce wrote "an inhabitant of carcosa" in mid 1880's n then haita the shepherd (which mentions hastur as a shepherd deity) in early 1890's. chambers expanded upon it with the king in yellow book, n then lovecraft mentions hastur n the king in yellow in his own works.

...n then august derleth threw it all into a giant cauldron with a heavy dash of gay sex

i sneezed n hit enter...
anyway, leather man was basically a human cryptid. he trekked around panhandling food n not talking or telling anyone his name on the same 360 mile route hitting the same times on a schedule n ppl cherished him. after he passed some dipshit tried to treat him as a circus freak n put him on display n they took his leather n had this guy dress in it like "i'm the leather man! i eat babies!" n the townspeople were pissed.
they scratched some cash together n buried him n got him a headstone
 
Forgot my glowing review

It was okay, I think that the Marx Brothers don't translate well into text + I couldn't/wasn't willing to put the effort in to track down most of the songs they reference. There were a few funny parts and I'm sure it was much better performed onstage, but alas alas, I doubt much is out there, if anything at all, in the way of recordings. Such is the early 20th century.
