Yeah, I’d still go creepy (how can a universe that allows billion year old starlight not be, looked at viscerally?), but I’d try to do it in a way that makes you wonder if the human perspective is necessarily the right one. Lovecraft has a way of including all kinds of adjectives to make you know how you’re supposed to feel. He had (ahem) strong feelings about unfamiliar people and practices in real life, so it was kind of inevitable.
Come to think of it, Parasyte had some of the same energy I’m picturing.
