The Dunwich Horror (1970) Trailer

[Yngvisun]

This movie is not very good. The chick is ok though.

[Cthulhuized]

Lovecraft tales are stupid in films adaptations.. i prefer music and books about Lovecraftian horrors .

[TheDeerFolk]

Ugh, Haven't seen this, but this looks awful compared to the book. They should remake this :/

[graphix59]

Nonsense,pure and simple!!

[hanaryukoku]

pretty sure wilbur whateley looked like an overgrown child/goat and not a porn actor.

[Thunderlips502]

If you think Lovecraft's work is asexual, than you can't read between the lines.

[DFWGatoCat]

Well, that's about the stupidest misrepresentation and ripoff of Lovecraft that I have ever seen.

[KlavikusVile]

Awful interpretation.

[pfl95]

a disgraceful lovecraft movie >:(



[Syntox]

@pfl95 - have there been any GOOD ones?

[pfl95]

@Syntox

nope but someday, I hope I can do him justice! by making a movie :D

or I hope Del Toro could have a second chance of making ATMOM movie, but i think it would be better if he made up his own story but with the same set up

[andoc]

This looks incredibly trippy.

[MightyMonkeyWrench]

I so hope the 09' version its better, saw this one yesterday... and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck­s!

[dltanner99]

Horror novel see video book trailer

[TheNightsMoon]

No, no, no ,no. Lovecraft wrote with elequence divine, and WTF is this? This is garbadge.

[southernclassik]

thumbs up for Fallout 3

[Aragorn212]

Isn't that cultist with knife was doctor Yueh in David Lynch "Dune"?

[MichaelHTillman]

@Aragorn212 Yep. Dean Stockwell. You should imdb him - He's had a pretty interesting career.

[usuckdong]

@Aragorn212 yep.

[westridgemattlyman]

This is probably my favorite horror story.

[godzilloid]

AAAGHH Lovecraft is spinning in his grave

[rdecredico]

@godzilloid Probably not. I'm betteting there are some some decayed bones lying in the same position they have been since he was buried.

[kingofbobland]

Fallout 3 dunwitch building :0

[eaparsels]

This looks like an anti-drug propaganda film...

[AFRAIDOfTheDARK1]

Saloum idi mou!

[sonicheadbanger]

i found this a guilty pleasure 

[penbus492]

everyone research John Todd and the illuminati

[Bobsyermomsuncle]

I watched this movie so many times -- Dean was a cutie. We didn't think of him as Dean Stockwell from Quantum Leap, but Dean Stockwell the child actor who was the Boy With The Green Hair...

[kdjdhdbdb]

could anybody tell me where can i get english subtitles for this movie???

my english isn't perfect, so i can't understand everywhere what they say in the movie!

please help!

[happymundo]

Kdjdhdbdb,....Just play the DVD movie on your TV and click on the Close Caption on your remote. Most DVDs are encripted with close caption.

[in2theabyss17]

Damn! I forgot all about this movie! Thanks for sharing!

[Wtfxxl13]

This movie was good but it had all the quinticential 70s crap that really for me puts me off. The remake wasn't bad suprisingly, but not very true to the book. Oh, and for recommended reading, try "The Dream-Quest of Kadath". well worth a read for HPL fans

[tharealest62qb]

this is the movie JOHN TODD talked about..

[WoWbob396]

yep

[tharealest62qb]

he said this movie is the closest to what they really do..

[WoWbob396]

yeah i know, which is really creepy

[tharealest62qb]

stay AWAKE brother

keep gaining that true knowledge..

[happypranksgiving]

lol he also thinks the Necronomicon is real.

[pzgdr]

Lovecraft would weep if he were aware of this dreadful travesty of his work..

[Bizarronumber4]

The movie was a lot different from Lovecraft's original story,but I  liked it anyway.

[antiabe]

as bad as the new Dunwich Horror movie?

[sunnasol]

I just read the story and, well everything seems a lot prettier in this film than in the book.

[egdeltur666]

next to Call of Cthulhu, this is my favorite lovecraft movie. Actually, he's invoking Yog, not Hastur.

I hear Gordon just finished a movie of this with Jeffrey Combs as Wilbur! It's supposed to be released soon, and I also heard Liegh Scott is making a terrible asylum version.

So, good news all around!

[WoWbob396]

if u like that read the book of kotons

[ArranoGris]

Aaaaand of course it's unneccesarily avant garde and 60s/early 70s-ed up. Great job.

[YourRisingPhoenix]

loved this movie, it was great

[goback3spaces]

So what? My proctologist "explores the unspeakable."

[gemini74434]

omg...they made a new one! ROTFLMAO

[gemini74434]

lmao....this looks GREAT! (if youre stoned)

i'll skip it - i quit smoking.

[Fanon99]

They should turn the Dunwich Horror story into a musical.

Now that will be awesome :D

[gomro]

They turned "The Fly" into an OPERA, and it was fit only to DRAW flies. Not sure how TDH would benefit at all by that sort of treatment.

[tony93666]

I am watching this on DVD right now.

[FacToRx93]

like fallout 3lo lD:

[telecaster1963]

Very interesting. And the soundtrack is excellent.

Thanks for posting!

[bloodanddirt]

soundtrack is terrible dude

[telecaster1963]

Maybe In your expert opinion. but I'm fed um of nowadays predictable soundtracks and I'm very fond of analog synths

...Dude.

[FiresofH0j0]

wow, i was looking fallout 3 vids about the haunted dunwich bulding, this must be what its refrencing to

[Jakobinzrewolucji]

In the movie plays Donna Baccala as Elizabeth, she is one of the most beautiful woman I ve ever seen. Pitty that she didnt do biger career, so that I could seen her more. And pitty no photos on her and infos in Internet.

[Kretin69]

lol Justin Timberlake

[Admend]

Mr. HPL never aproves this piece of crap!

He shakes in his grave!

Master, you dont deserve this!

[daiango]

He did apparently not approve any horror movie he saw. He made some positive comments on Charlie Chaplin's comedies in his letters though.

Personally I like this movie version more than the original story :P

But in the end, it is just a different interpretation of the source material... who does not like it, should not watch it. It has some interesting points and good music... worth at least my time.

[finalconsecration]

I'm fine with the movies, but August Derelith's stuff just pisses me off

[ArranoGris]

Why?

[finalconsecration]

Because the Cthulhu Mythos should have died along with Lovecraft. It was good. There was absolutely no need to change or add anything. Then comes along Auggie D thinking he's the next HPL and fucks up the whole mythos.

[sonoNEKO]

Lurker at the Threshold was a good horror novel on it's own, Derlerth's stuff is alright

[finalconsecration]

I'll check it out, but he should still get his own ideas and leave HP alone.

[Stormstallion]

When he wasn't messing around with Cthulhu Mythos pastiches, Derleth could be pretty good. Not Lovecraft or Robert. E Howard or Clark Ashton Smith level, but he wrote some solid quality traditional horror stories. Check out The Drifting Snow, Mr. George or The Extra Passanger if you ever get the chance.

[egdeltur666]

I like the one where Cthulhu fights Hastur, the one where Cthugha fights Nyarlathotep, and a few of the trail of Cthulhu ones. Oh yeah, and the Ithaqua stuff.

His element chart is all screwy, not to mention the whole idea of GOO's having types like pokemon being a little off, but if you look past that its just a story about Cthugha kicking Nyarlathotep's ass. And THAT is timeless, I don't care who you are.

[nach0s]

fallout 3 fans--there's a location in the game that references this!

[speedhed4]

i know

[ComatoseCA]

I agree, nothing like the story. Instead of Dean Stockwell(who is scary in this)Fred Gwynn of the Munsters would be better suited.

[decentdrummer911]

looks NOTHING like the story. i cant wait for the new version to come out. maybe they'll actually get it right.

[timmymylad]

This has to be one of the weirdest movies

that came out in 1970! "The Dunwich Horror"

aired on TCM on November 1, 2008.

I recorded this movie on my TiVo.

It was the last movie Sandra Dee starred in

before she retired.

[chicachonga]

That's 'cause she was too embarrassed to show her face on screen again! lol

[ChaosIgnition]

Hahaha. Good old 70s horror films, almost always make me laugh a little.

[unimatrix207]

for a 1970 movie the sound and qulity is perfect!

[STPfuzzDemon]

The introduction graphics & theme song during opening credits is the best part, that and the flashback sequences to the 'old ones'. The hydra at the end sorta ruins it for some(see: "Curse of the Demon" although that one at least has a cool looking monster!).

[electricwizard3000]

Not good Lovecraft, yet fun schlock.

[slavereloaded]

not even close to the actual short story... dumb asses there is no such relationship in the story at the wilbur and his father bring a creature from another dimension. UGH this movie could have been so much more scarier

[texasB666]

i'm a fan of movies,but when i think of it ,it has been taking and screwin us with our creativety ,if you read a lovecraft book or you watch this....wel i think lovecraft would be ashamed for this,we see what we see ,but we don't really see what we think of ,leave the mystery's alone ,who owe it to them ...RIP HP LOVECRAFT

[Kuranes83]

Gore/Slasher flicks are not lovecraftian, neither is any film with sexual commentary like cthulhu, read up on the man himself and you will know why.

[DudleyScardsdale]

Nope, this wasn't even close to Lovecraft. But hey, sex and violence sell tickets.

[M60AK47M79M134]

If there is a love story in this movie than this isn't Lovecraft. Sorry. Same goes for the Re-Animator movie. I bet Lovecraft would've been appalled if he were still around.

[Deathdealeus1984]

I don't think it's a love story. Wilbur drug the girl and makes her stay, that she can birth the human reincarnation of Yog-Sothoth.

A little bit like Rosemary's Baby.

[M60AK47M79M134]

But Wilbur is the offspring of Yog-Sothoth no? Why would he need a woman? Not very Lovecraftian, but whatever...its been done...

[TortillaChip521]

@Deathdealeus1984 Except that didn't happen in the story at all.

[rdecredico]

@M60AK47M79M134 Expecting a movie to be the same as a book is a very silly thing. Often films simply use the book as a jumping off point, a loose framework, or sometimes just the name recognition in order to get financing for the real story they want to tell (Kubrick's: The Shining). Accept it. it is what it is and no one is going to change it.

[PhilJonesIII]

@M60AK47M79M134 Its a brave director that tries to make a movie based on a book by Lovecraft. His heavy Gothic style of writing is an important part of his work. That's not to say the stories don't stand alone but he could re-write 'Mary had a little lamb' and you would end up sleeping with the lights on for weeks.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@M60AK47M79M134 during Lovecrafts days he encouraged anyone to take and expand on his work. It was meant to be a continuing work, so I doubt it would have bothered him much.

[dave00dance]

@M60AK47M79M134 i quite liked from beyond thought it had a good lovecraft vibe to it

[Johnny123456789x]

@M60AK47M79M134 Well, Guillermo del Toro is working on a huge, high-budget and high-quality adaptation of “At the Mountains of Madness”, and it's not going to contain a love story.

I just want an amazing Lovecraft film done right.

[mrsupman3]

Looks kind of creepy.
