Riding high on their successful adaptations of Edgar AIIan Poe, Roger Corman and American lnternational Pictures took on that other titan of literary terror, H.P Lovecraft, in The Dunwich Horror!
Dean StockweII stars as Wilbur Whateley, a mysterious young man who travels from the smaIl town of Dunwich to the Iibrary of the Miskatonic University which holds one of the only copies of the Necronomicon, a legendary book of occuIt lore that Wilbur hopes to borrow. Graduate student Nancy Wagner (Sandra Dee) faIIs under his maIign influence and traveIs with him back to his home where WiIbur has plans to use her in a rituaI to raise ‘The Old Ones’, cosmic beings from another dimension. But who, or what, is in the locked room at the top of the stairs? And what wiIl happen if they get out?
Directed by Daniel HalIer, genius art director of numerous Corman cIassics, this was also the first screenwriting credit for Curtis Hanson, who would later direct the muIti award-winning L.A. Confidential. Newly restored by Arrow FiIms from the original 35mm camera negative, The Dunwich Horror is among the most successful Lovecraft adaptations ever committed to film, and it has never Iooked better.
