8 Weirdest Horror Entities That Can't Be Explained

Considering Lovecraft is the king of unknowable entities from beyond the pale, it should come as no surprise that there's another entry taking a leaf from the Necronomicon and dabbling with cosmic horror in all of its terrifying, spectacular weirdness. And of course, it features the man who cannot be explained in any fathomable sense himself as well: Nicolas Cage.

Color Out of Space is a prismatic journey through one family's world being transformed as a meteor crashes on their farm. Unleashing a colour that slowly terraforms everything around it into both beautiful, bright flora and twisted, traumatising masses of flesh, the colour is so far from our own reality it physically and mentally changes any that come into contact with it. Try explaining that, eh?

The only glimpse we get that's anywhere near the truth is of a tentacled alien amidst a horrible world full of the things, but that goes no way as to telling us what's really going on. With monsters that will truly repulse you, a palette that will burn your eyes, and a sick sense of humour throughout, Color Out of Space absolutely earns the right to be terrifying without giving any insight into its central mystery - and anything more than what it offers would have spoiled the psychedelic nightmare that's been created.
