Not sure if Emma's being serious... but I'm sure there's a shed-load of people who never realised it is an adjective in the English language.

That's right, and HP Lovecraft uses the word quite a few times in his stories... which is where Eldo most likely got the word from.

Definitely not a goth, and he never read Lovecraft, and he never wore a goth hat. :P

Great that seems to be the origin.

Nah, he got it from Philip K. Dick's The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Maybe Dick got it from Lovecraft.
