Day 5, His Fathers Son

To some men, there is nothing more important then living up to your fathers expectations. Finding that right girl, and finishing the dreams that dad wasn’t able to finish. In The Dunwich Horror, Dean Stockwell plays Wilbur Whateley searching for that perfect girl, played by Sandra Dee to continue his father’s work.

H.P. Lovecraft wrote short stories that were not meant to be adapted cinematically. Roger Corman was best at making cheesy exploitation horror flicks, but a strange kind of chemistry was forged in this film. Excessive use of flashing light, odd camera tricks, and a creepy leading man has built a film that only a fan could enjoy. See it with someone who doesn’t have tentacles.
