Crawling Ones

Description

The nether most caverns are not for the fat homing of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumor that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.
— H. P. Lovecraft, “The Festival

This is vary well done it its intresting to look at yet horrifing to think about.

The *things* that are depicted,give off a feeling of primal terror, there translucent skin dead eyes and huge teeth are the things of nightmares. they are vary predatory looking its as if they are saying "we are here and we are hungry"

they also give off the feeling of being connected to a bigger more terrifying entity that resides off screen. creepiest part is the face;s again they look like human skulls and yet are clearly not. one also gets the feeling that there are most likely HUNDREDS of these things crawling around as they are vary worm like do they live deep underground where man can not see them? do they live in some god forsaken cave that man has yet to discover? who knows they could be watching you right now and you wouldn't notice.

I dont have much bad to say about it my only thought would be

make them even more realistic and focus on the creepy faces that will creep people out even more.

or perhaps make a version where we see hundreds of them swarming from the walls of a cave.
