and using similar plot lines most notably seen by a comparison of The Dunwich Horror to The Great God Pan.
Well, no. The only common theme is in the creation of a hybrid between humans and something else: In Dunwich, interbreeding with an alien being from another universe as a bridgehead for an invasion (or a retaking) of Earth: in Pan, a cross with the ultimate source of life on Earth/a Nature principle, with all the unnerving biological urgencies and atavisms that involves.... But I can't work out a better expression at the moment, so I'm just registering disagreement with the above quote from the article. Malcolm Farmer 00:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
You don't think the fact Lovecraft quotes Machen in the story is a bit of a clue then? The plot lines do have similarities in that they both feature interbreeding with an otherwordly being from ancient times who comes into the present day in an isolated rural area. Similarly they are both defeated by the coming together of a group of right minded people who work out the threat presented to humanity. I am not saying they are indentical in theme or indeed in plot, indeed their themes are quite different as you point out, but just there are clear influences on plotting and ST Joshi agrees with me on this as do other weird tale scholars.--Machenphile 23:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Influences/influenced
These infobox fields have been the topic of much negative discussion (see here, for instance), and it's been decided to omit them in a number of articles, such as the featured article J. R. R. Tolkien. I've therefore blanked the fields here, and I think a very persuasive case needs to be made before any use is made of them again. Deor (talk) 19:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Accidental Edit Warring
I want to apologize for some accidental edit warring that I was involved in. I have been working on WP:DPL and Puritanism was one of the clean-up items. Part of my conversation with the other user can be found here. Xe7al (talk) 20:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
