While not an outright adaption of CDW, Black Sunday nevertheless does "borrow" a little from CDW though. In Black Sunday you have Asa being put to death for practicing black magic. Before she's killed she curses all those responsible and vows to return again to fulfill that curse. The curse is the fulfilled by an ancestor of Asa who is also her physical double. In the CDW, Curwen's death is caused by meddlesome townsfolk, but like Asa, he waits outside of time to be summoned back to this world through the unwitting help of a descendant. Baron Blood utilizes the same premise, an "evil" Baron is put to death for his sadistic crimes only to be brought back to life through the aid of black magic. Again, neither story is really an adaption, but both films do utilize the same basic story elements found in CDW. Bava not directing an adaption of the Dunwich Horror is, for me, one of the greatest missed opportunities in the history of horror cinema. One can only imagine what Bava would have been capable of if he had a decent budget with which to work from. The cast, which would have included Karloff and Lee, would have been amazing to have seen in a Lovecrftain setting. So far the only two full fledged adaptions of CDW have been the Haunted Palace, which I love, and The Resurrected, which the director's cut of is supposed to be much better than the film's current incarnation. Lovecraft was fascinated with the idea of traveling back and forth through time, as anyone familiar with his work would no doubt have noticed. HPL said his favorite film was the 1933 film Berkely Square. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023794/

Looking forward to finally seeing The Whisperer In Darkness!-The Shunned House looks great. I would love to see a director's cut of The Resurrected if it ever becomes available.
