Outside of the thematic and character aspects, "The Dunwich Horror" is written to be visualized. Going from the initial themes of "Call of Cthulhu," Yog-Sothoth takes the idea of forbidden knowledge from a cult and puts it into a dark text that could fall into anyone's hands. This presents an elevated horror for the universe in that, ultimately, Yog-Sothoth knows everything, including how the people who contact him will die, along with everything else. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth." It's also explained that he knows when the Old Ones return to Earth, and it's implied that he knows when the universe ends. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. As stated in the story, " Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth's horror comes from the idea that he knows everything. As with all Cthulhu Mythos beings, he is completely indifferent to humanity, but unlike others, he is completely aware of humanity, as well as everything within the universe. Within the texts, his name is used in numerous incantations and rituals for the user to break the laws of nature, such as resurrecting the dead and mating with a human host. Also known as "The Lurker at the Threshold," Yog-Sothoth is an omnipotent deity that is locked outside of the known universe. "The Dunwich Horror" would introduce one of the most powerful Outer Gods in the Mythos, Yog-Sothoth. The themes at play expand upon the ideas introduced in "The Call of Cthulhu" but add something far more horrifying. Even the story needs little change to be adapted cinematically. Wizard Whateley started when he made a deal with an entity, and the beings created were instrumental in the deaths and potential portals to the known world. The horror of this story comes from the forbidden knowledge, its abuse, and the ramifications of its use. "The Dunwich Horror" is known as one of the best tales in the Cthulhu Mythos, but it would fit a cinematic universe because of the horrific entities that it introduces and texts that factor a great deal into the plot. It's discovered that Wilbur is actually a horrific part-human monstrosity, and the titular being is his twin brother, who he cared for and fed before his death. In the town of Dunwich, people and animals start going missing as Armitage realizes that Wilbur isn't the only entity in town. After crossing paths with Wilbur, Armitage realizes the nefarious nature of Wilbur's exploits and stops him from obtaining the book. During Wilbur's exploits, he crosses paths with Professor Henry Armitage, the librarian at Miskatonic University, where the completed Necronomicon exists.
