About The Dunwich Horror
Based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft. Adapted by Thomas Fuller and used by permission of his estate.
Directed by Ellie Cook
An isolated town in New England holds to "the old ways" and does not welcome outsiders. The Whateley family is isolated even within the town--old father and daughter keeping to themselves in a crumbling house on a hill. But Lavinia Whateley's strange child, fascinated with his grandfather's occult books, sparks rumors among the villagers, and soon the air is filled with fear. Classic radio play sound effects and atmosphere create a terrifying tale perfect for the Halloween season.
