The Dunwich Horror Audio Drama

H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror has captivated horror fans for nearly a century, and one of the most fascinating aspects of its legacy is its frequent adaptation into audio dramas. Unlike many of Lovecraft’s other works, The Dunwich Horror has been transformed into immersive, spine-chilling sound productions multiple times.

At its core, The Dunwich Horror is a deeply atmospheric tale, rich with eerie descriptions and an escalating sense of dread. The story follows the mysterious and grotesque Wilbur Whateley, his sinister family, and the unspeakable entity they summon in the rural hills of Dunwich, Massachusetts. Much of the horror is not in what is seen, but in what is heard—an element that makes it perfect for audio storytelling.

From the inhuman noises of the Whateley farm to the colossal, disembodied voice of the invisible monster terrorizing the hills, Lovecraft’s descriptions already lean heavily on sound as a means of evoking terror. Audio dramas, such as this awesome adaptation by Julie Hoverson, can take full advantage of this, using chilling sound effects, whispering voices, and otherworldly noises to bring the horror to life.
