    It is scientifically proven, that our biological ancestors left the ocean because they were scared out of their minds from what else lurks in the sea.

      I read that in Werner Herzog’s voice.

        Well technically a bigfin squid has never met a human, but you know those 4-8 metre long arms are just made for hugging so if they ever did meet one that lucky human is in for one big squish.

    How to create successful cosmic horror:

    Step 1: Dive deep into the sea (in a bathyscaphe).

    Step 2: ???

    Step 3: Profit.
