Dunwich Horror 2009?

[TJ]

Hmm, I didn't even know this movie was out there until I saw it on
SyFy channel, Sunday 7PM.

This movie is 2009, and it's not on cable TV and not even on SyFy
Saturday 9PM new movie line ups. It's on a Sunday, this Sunday, 7
PM? This movie must seriously stink!

I'm trying to get hold of it - but as I said, it's on SYFY Sunday, 7
PM.

Personally, I think nothing can beat Dean Stockwell in the 1969
movie.

Never heard of this one either, so I looked it up on the IMDB.

Stockwell plays Armitage this time and Jeffrey Combs play Wilbur. This
could have been promising but it sounds really bad, with Abdul Alhazred
and Olaus Wormius both making appearances as well. There's a few
reviews on the IMDB site.

There's also listed BEYOND THE DUNWICH HORROR (2008), in which Librarian
#1" is played by someone named Penny Dreadful(!)

I don't see that "Beyond DH" playing anywhere. But the one I posted
about will be on TV Sunday at 7 PM, on SyFy channel. It might not be
bad. Give it a chance. Watch it!

As re the Beyond one, Beyond what? The earlier movie in 1969? It was
made 2008 and the new DH is 2009.

Yeah, I see he's in it, didn't know that before. This movie snuck up
out of nowhere for me. No mention of it on TV, no ads for it -
nothing. And when it's going to be on. 7 pm on Sunday? Not even the
Syfy Sat 9P line up? It's even listed as "NEW" on syfy, but 7PM?

It's like "Dagon." God I LOVED that movie (save for the lack of
dubbing) - but it never made it to cable, by that I mean HBO, SHO,
etc. Straight to scifi channel - and chopped up to pieces.

I'm beginning to submit to the idea that this stuff just doesn't
sell. When Dark Shadows took a dip into something HPLish, the ratings
bombed. I liked it, the whole Leviathan thing, it was kinda outside
normal "occultish" stuff. I'm not a person that ever read fiction of
any kind as a teen or young adult or mid-age adult. Just HPLish stuff
- mythos. The rest of what I read was non-fiction, lots of science
and etc. Now I'm branching out a LOT in my senior years - and I can
see why, I can see the BIG difference.

And this really has nothing to do with reading ability, intelligence
levels, or propensity for "things cosmic." No.

I think the Saw movies and stuff like that SUCKS.
