Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

A nice cast of seasoned character actors led by a young, intensely disturbing Dean Stockwell and the beautiful Sandra Dee, does what they can with the limited AIP budget that mostly eschews practical effects for optical shenanigans for the presence of a monster. Stockwell is captivating throughout and his performance alone is well worth the watch.
