The Dunwich Horror

The Dannage horror. A suspense play produced, edited and directed by William Speer. Come in, Dannage, Massachusetts. Come in, Dannage. Good evening. This is Henry Amethyst. I'm speaking to you. Is Dr. Rice please close the window, Hill.

I'm speaking to you from my laboratory on the slopes of Sentinel Hill near Dannage, Massachusetts. Present with me is Dr. Warren Rice, My distinguished colleague from the Mescatonic University, we are now about 100 yards from the summit of the hill, which is crowned by a huge table-like stone set in the center of a circle of stone pillars,

a place of prehistoric worship. A moment ago, you may have heard the dogs of tonnage, township, barking as we have hurt them for three days and three nights. Dr. Rice and I know the horror which they're barking for ten, But the purpose of this broadcast is to make this unbelievable horror believable to you.

I hope for your sakes and hours we are successful tonight. It is the eve of all hallows. Tomorrow will be too late. Our time tonight is very short, so I'll speak only of those more recent events, which believe me may culminate at any moment in a climax too frightful to wholly contemplate.

I will begin with the birth of Wilbur Waitley. It was the night of February 2nd, 1921. Candlemas. Toward dawn, when Lavigna Waitley, a deformed albino woman about 35 years old, gave birth to her dark, gothish-looking son in the crumbling Waitley farmhouse northeast of the village.

No one attended her. No doctor, for midwives. No one was with her, except her aged half insane father, who was known as Wizard Waitley. So Wilbur came into this world under heaven knows what incantations, what appeal to what power.
