Richard Stanley’s ‘Dunwich Horror’ Will Expand His Lovecraft Universe and Feature the Necronomicon – Bloody Disgusting

SpectreVision is releasing Richard Stanleys Color Out of Space in theaters this weekend, and as we recently learned, its not the only H.P. Lovecraft tale that SpectreVision and Stanley are looking to bring to the screen in the near future. In fact, theyre looking to build out an entire Lovecraft universe of films, and next up will be Stanleys 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 years Color Out of Space.

Im pleased to say that SpectreVision has basically greenlit two more Lovecraft adaptations, and Im 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, well be able to get that before the cameras this winter.

Stanley added, With Dunwich Horror, well go on campus and get back to Miskatonic University for the first time since Re-Animator. Well also get to deal with the Necronomicon, the black book at the core of the mythos. So Im very much looking forward to getting my hands on this.

Lovecrafts 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.
