Talk:The Dunwich Horror

message: there is a screenplay written by Richard Griffin (also wrote and directed "SEEPAGE, AKA Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon'" and "Raving Maniacs, AKA Rave to the Grave")by the same name.  It is in production to be made into a film.
I recognize that the summary here is woefully inadequete.  I saw that there was no page for this, one of my favorite Lovecraft stories, and had to at least create a stub!

replies: text: Regarding the Trivia statement "it is perhaps the only tale Lovecraft wrote where the heroes successfully defeat the antagonistic entity or monster of the story," what about The Case of Charles Dexter Ward? Dreams In the Witch-House also features the defeat of the main antagonist, although the protagonist is killed as well. 151.199.192.119 19:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I had exactly the same thought regarding CDW.  I suppose it might be argued that Joseph Curwen wasn't an "entity or monster", although you could make a—IMO, successful—case for his being a moral monster.  Wooster (talk) 09:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also "The Shunned House"--the one with the giant elbow in the basement.  I'll bet there's more if we gave it some more thought. Nareek 21:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd like to see a citation of the Penguin notes--otherwise, the assertion regarding (in the article) regarding the Crucifixion seems like original research.  I think it's an interesting observation, whether it's parody or a simple reference or just a coincidence (it hardly seems satirical, I agree).

From Donovan K. Loucks’ Personal Pages.

...If you’re wondering how this relates to Lovecraft, recall the plot of “The Colour Out of Space,” where a drinking water reservoir is planned for the city of Arkham. Also, the four main towns that were flooded by the Quabbin were Prescott, Enfield, Dana, and Greenwich. Some Lovecraftians believe that the names Dana and Greenwich were combined by Lovecraft into the name of the fictional town of Dunwich, although no direct evidence exists to support this. The Quabbin region also has a town to the west named Whately and another to the east named Oakham, the implications of which should be fairly obvious.
Can I cite some of this stuff from his web pages?

A New England Odyssey
In August 1995, I went on my second Lovecraftian tour of New England. During that trip, I kept a daily travelogue and posted it both here and on the alt.horror.cthulhu newsgroup.

Most village names on the coast of Suffolk and Norfolk have a counterpart in Massachusetts because many settlers went from East Anglia to the New World.  Dunwich fell into the sea and the bells of the churches can be heard at spring tide, according to legend.  E. A. Poe's 'The City in the Sea' is possibly based on Dunwich.  Poe went to school in England and visited the east coast.

thread_title: Nice Page

message: I'm wondering what the source is for Dr. Armitage's education?  The reason that I ask is that in the game Trail of Cthulhu, Page 206, the entry for him says that he went to Cambridge, so I thought I would bring that up here.  Not saying that this is correct... Just asking.  Pdarley (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The link to the author of “The Thing in the Woods”, Harper Williams, takes you to a biography of a basket-ball player; it could be that he is also an author, but it isn’t in the information, and he’d appear to be a bit young, so my guess is that the link is in fact incorrect, although I can’t be certain… Also, I can’t find an article on an author of that name on Wikipedia to re-link to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jock123 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Sandy Petersen article redlinks The Dunwich Horror and other Weird Tales (which was presumably some compilation of Lovecraft's work, with The Dunwich Horror as its headline item). I doubt that specific anthology is worthy of an article of its own, so we should resolve that redlink to some existing article. Should it link here? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 09:07, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

message: What makes this fictional location notable? All I see are primary sources and few passing mentions, all at WP:PLOT level. I thought about AfD, but I think we could merge and redirect it to here instead of deletion. Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:58, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
