==Synopsis==
The mighty cruise ship Pride of the Sea finds itself lost and without power in a violent Pacific Ocean storm, its passengers and crew subjected to terrible dreams of doom and destruction throughout this ordeal.
As the storm clears and the maintenance team inspect the damage, they find that the propellers are fouled with what at first appears to be an enormous rope, but is soon recognised for what it truly is: a colossal tentacle. As the crew desperately try to cut the tentacle loose and escape, the tentacle's owner, Great Cthulhu himself, rises from the depths and sends the ship and everyone aboard to a watery grave.
