Q
Who is Yog-Sothoth?
A
Yog-Sothoth is a fictional monster dreamed up by Lovecraft and introduced in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. He is an Outer God who impregnated Lavina Whateley (Lauren Michele) so as for her to give birth to Wilbur Whateley (Jeffrey Combs) and his monstrous twin brother.
Q
Is "The Dunwich Horror" based on a book?
A
The Dunwich Horror is based on a short story of the same name written in 1928 by American fantasy/horror writer H.P. Lovecraft [1890-1937). It was first published in Weird Tales, April 1929. The story was adapted for this movie by director Leigh Scott. An earlier movie, The Dunwich Horror (1970), is also based on Lovecraft's story.
Q
Is this movie a remake or sequel to "The Dunwich Horror" (1970)?
A
Neither. Although both movies are based on Lovecraft's short story, the movies are not connected, although they both draw upon the history of the Whateleys, wizards who moved from Salem to Dunwich in 1692, the "horror" they unleashed on the Massachusetts countryside, Dr Henry Armitage's efforts to stop them, the search for the Necronomicon, and the demon Yog-Sothoth. Of the two movies, this one is generally considered more true to the original story.
