A #MeToo controversy had put a halt on Stanley’s plans to turn ‘Color Out of Space,’ which starred Nicolas Cage, into a trilogy of H.P. Lovecraft adaptations — his next one was supposed to be “The Dunwich Horror.”

… Stanley has confirmed that ‘Dunwich Horror’ is indeed happening. The announcement was made during a ‘Color Out of Space’ retrospective screening of the film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, where Stanley revealed ‘Dunwich’ to be his next project.

In ‘Dunwich Horror,’ an invisible creature terrorizes the small and isolated village of Dunwich for several days, killing two families and several policemen, until Armitage, Rice, and Morgan arrive with the knowledge and spiritual weapons needed to kill it.

“The Dunwich Horror” will be produced by Ace Pictures Entertainment in collaboration with Side Street Studios, continuing Stanley’s deep dive into the enigmatic world of Lovecraft. In a rather ambitious move, Stanley also revealed that ‘Dunwich Horror’ will be adapted into a two-part film, allowing for a “more expansive and detailed exploration of the story’s complex themes and haunting atmosphere”…
