"DwC talks to Richard Stanley. This is big. This is awesome. For those who are unfamiliar, Richard Stanley is the man behind the 1990 steam-punk cult classic, Hardware, the 1992 hallucinatory fever dream, Dust Devil, and 2019’s gloriously psychedelic, Color Out of Space…

While attending the Rhode Island Film Festival, Stanley announced that he was getting back into the director’s chair for an adaption of another beloved H.P. Lovecraft tale, The Dunwich Horror, a delightfully twisted yarn that sees the evil “wizard” Whately make a deal with a malevolent deity, receiving a lifetime of riches in exchange for offering up his own daughter to bear the offspring of this being.

That offspring, Wilbur, is a half-human, half-deity whose purpose is to bring about the destruction of mankind and make way for the return of “the Old Ones.” But Wilbur also had a twin brother, the titular Dunwich Horror. After Wilbur is killed trying to steal the infamous Necronomicon, this twin brother, who much more closely resembles their father, escapes and wreaks havoc upon the unsuspecting populace of Dunwich.
