The Dunwich Horror
“A few years ago in Dunwich a half-witted girl bore illegitimate twins. One of them was almost human!”
Synopsis
Dr. Henry Armitage, an expert in the occult, travels to the old Whateley manor in Dunwich in search of Nancy Wagner, a student who disappeared the previous night. He is refused entry by Wilbur, the family's sinister heir, who has sinister intentions toward the young woman. Undeterred, Armitage speaks with local residents and gradually uncovers the Whateleys' darkest secret, as well as a powerful and ancient evil.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
