Attempts To Perform Shoggoth
- A Shoggoth on the Roof was originally attempted by The Other Gods Theatre Company in 1979 in Los Angeles. The production was abandoned for reasons that are not entirely clear. The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society have a spoof documentary of this production on their website.
- In 2002 Chicago's Defiant Theatre considered a production, but cancelled the plans after being threatened with litigation.
- Additional performances have been contemplated, attempted and/or abandoned at: New York University's (NYU) Tisch School of the Arts, Brandeis University, University of Calgary, Harvard, Stanford, St. John's College, and other colleges and universities worldwide.
- As of 2007, the 2005 Teater Tentakel production in Stockholm and the 2007 Trinity Gamers production in Dublin, Ireland were the only known successful productions of the show.

“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
