 Rating:  - Strictly for fans of Gothic horror"The Dunwich Horror" is a movie that claims to be based on horror maestro H.P. Lovecraft's work of the same title, but one can at best describe this movie as a very liberal adaptation of Lovecraft's work. The movie itself stars Dean Stockwell as the sinister Wilbur Whatley who wishes to reclaim his family's dark heritage and standing by summoning the Old Ones through [a] using the Necronomicon, a dark book, and [b] offering up luscious co-ed Sandra Dee as the virginal sacrifice.

Okay--Boris Karloff acts in an H. P. Lovecraft adaptation ("The Colour Out of Space") produced by Samuel Z. Arkoff that reflects the predominant nuclear fears of the fifties and sixties. Does that help? It better, because that's really all I should need to say. You already know "The Colour Out of Space." If you don't, get thee hence to the library. And ...
