A Shoggoth on the Roof
A Shoggoth on the Roof is a parody of the 1964 musical "Fiddler on the Roof" based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Published by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, it is credited to a member of the society who is referred to only as "He Who (for legal reasons) Must Not Be Named".

In a fictional backstory created by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, "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 mockumentary of this production on their website.

The musical makes use of "Fiddler on the Roof"'s original score. As a result, attempts to stage "A Shoggoth on the Roof" are open to legal challenges and hence rare.
