Um.... Yeah, NSFW, and be careful who you watch it around. It's quite.... Odd, to say the least.
Did you know we all have slimy beasts crawling around inside us?
Sex education in middle school is alternately boring as hell, scary, and occasionally hysterical (provided you've got teacher who is either really old or has a crazy foreign accent). However, it's never really been outright terrifying. That said, a new short film shows just how messed up the class could be if it were taught by H.P. Lovecraft.
"Late Bloomer" by Craig Macneill is a short film takes the normal scenario of teaching kids about sex and reproductive organs and presents it in the narrative style of Lovecraft's various horror stories. Needless to say, the movie is one of the funniest (or horrifying, depending on your perspective) takes on sex ed you're likely to watch.
The movie was apparently an official selection at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. It also won the Audience Award for Best Short Film at the Lake Placid Film Festival, and was named Best Short Film at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival.
At the moment, Macneill doesn't have too many films listed on his résumé. Hopefully, though, the director will eventually be able to tackle a full-fledged Cthulhu project. Or, y'know, do another short like this one.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Quite a bit, since your name is Corpsesarefun
Bodies don't bother me and I am a fan of ultraviolent/gorey films yet cthulu sex ed with 11 year olds creeped me out to the point of having to pause it every now and then.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

You sneaky man, you changed your avatar!
I have been sat here wondering who the new guy was until it twigged just now.
Haha yes. As much as I loved the cat in power armor. I thought this pic would be a little more refreshing. I believe I'll be changing it again come summertime when I lop off my hair.
I probably shouldn't have been laughing that much, but the chalkboard vagina morphing into something evil was HILARIOUS.
Don't worry, I was in hysterics for most of the video.

Eh. It's okay for a 10+ minute masturbation joke. Only marginally Lovecraftian though. The ending was the big disappointment. They could have done better.
As far as real-world things to be made disturbing, toxoplasmosis still takes the cake. I'm scared to even be in the same room as a cat because of it.

I listened to a programme on radio four about that the other day, it reminded me of something several fungi and some slime moulds can do but mostly just made me think of nefarious ways to misuse said disease rather fear.
