The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Directed by Daniel Haller
Dr. Henry Armitage, an expert in the occult, goes to the old Whateley manor in Dunwich looking for Nancy Wagner, a student who went missing the previous night. He is turned away by Wilbur, the family's insidious heir, who has plans for the young girl. But Armitage won't be deterred. Through conversations with the locals, he soon unearths the Whateleys' darkest secret — as well as a great evil.

What critics compared The Dunwich Horror to
Other efforts have included the late-model B-picture The Dunwich Horror (1970), the clunky anthology film Necronomicon (1993), and the earnest low-budget indie Cthulhu (2008).
Re-Animator , from director Stuart Gordon, and In the Mouth of Madness , from John Carpenter, are among the most well-known and beloved Lovecraft adaptations, but their history stretches back even farther, to The Haunted Palace , a Roger Corman film with Vincent Price that’s a loose adaptation of the novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and The Dunwich Horror , a 1970s schlock-fest starring Dean Stockwell, to name two.
