Richard Stanley’s ‘Dunwich Horror’ Will Expand His Lovecraft Universe and Feature the Necronomicon
SpectreVision is releasing Richard Stanley‘s Color Out of Space in theaters this weekend, and as we recently learned, it’s not the only H.P. Lovecraft tale that SpectreVision and Stanley are looking to bring to the screen in the near future. In fact, they’re looking to build out an entire “Lovecraft universe” of films, and next up will be Stanley’s take on The Dunwich Horror.
Speaking with Rue Morgue ahead of the release of the Nicolas Cage-starring Color Out of Space, Stanley noted just last week that filming on The Dunwich Horror will “hopefully” begin later this year. Furthermore, he confirms that each of his planned Lovecraft adaptations will exist within the same world that kicks off with this year’s Color Out of Space.
“I’m pleased to say that SpectreVision has basically greenlit two more Lovecraft adaptations, and I’m currently prepping my new adaptation of The Dunwich Horror,” he told the site. “It will be set in the same milieu as Color Out of Space, in a near-future, disaster-struck Arkham County. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get that before the cameras this winter.”
Stanley added, “With Dunwich Horror, we’ll go on campus and get back to Miskatonic University for the first time since Re-Animator. We’ll also get to deal with the Necronomicon, the black book at the core of the mythos. So I’m very much looking forward to getting my hands on this.”
Lovecraft’s short story The Dunwich Horror was published in 1929. It centers on a mysterious monster locked in a farmhouse. It grows and grows, and ultimately breaks free.
Six months after taking the world by storm on the big screen, Toho’s epic masterpiece Godzilla Minus One has finally been unleashed AT HOME here in the United States today.
