Well, to start, that cookbook from Insight that came out in recent time did mention an entry in Spates was verbatim, Ray on page 102 saying "In more modern times, there was an occurrence in a Pennsylvanian chocolate factory in 1949. The manifestation first happened on October 20, which Spates' Catalog argues as the Gregorian calendar's equivalent to the start of the Mayan month of Muwan, when Ek Chuah is honored. Whether or not the math works out, what's true is that for twenty days, at approximately 1 a.m. each day, a solid minute of screams were heard emanating from the factory, culminating in several Maya glyphs being found smeared on the factory floor in melted chocolate. From November 9, 1949, until today, nothing similar has occurred. Was this a manifestation of one of Ek Chuah's followers, or the Maya deity himself?"
Yeah, the IDW canon had it as annual periodicals from 1901-1935. You could have some fun with that and compare that to those years in Afterlife where Gozer was predicted to crossover and embellish i.e. in 1908/9, a Russian whaler encountered a possessed native claiming to be Vinz Clortho and regaled him with story about his master manifesting as Torb and you make a longer account of the story Vinz told Egon and Janine in GB1. That story about Vinz in the West End Games Tobin's Spirit Guide was amusing in that same vein.
Was Cthulhu the one where in the lore his name is made up because humans knowing his real one would drive them insane? Would be logical to include in a book with Nameless Horrors in one version of its title.
