Production
Like their earlier production, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: At the Mountains of Madness, the HPLHS intended to adapt one of Lovecraft's stories as if it were a radio drama produced by the fictional Dark Adventure Radio Theatre troupe from the time the story was written (in the case of "The Dunwich Horror", 1928).
The CD version includes a number of supplemental materials, including:
- A map of 1868 Dunwich from the archives of Miskatonic University.
- A page of the John Dee translation of the Necronomicon.
- A page out of Wilbur Whateley's diary.
- A page of the Arkham Advertiser newspaper covering a visit to Dunwich and a meeting with the Whateley family.
