Dread Central recently posted the news that everybody’s favorite re-animator, Jeffrey Combs, will be heading toward H.P. Lovecraft territory once again to begin work on THE DARKEST EVIL, which will be an adaptation of Lovecraft’s THE DUNWICH HORROR.
Combs has appeared in a bunch of loosely adapted Lovecraft flicks, from the immortal RE-ANIMATOR and its sequels, to the wacky FROM BEYOND.
THE DARKEST EVIL will tell the tale of Wilbur Whateley, who wishes to use the Necronomican (that old thing…) to unleash evil upon mankind.
The film will also star Dean Stockwell, Griff Furst and Sarah Lieving. It’ll be directed by Leigh Scott, who has some wonderful credits like HILLSIDE CANNIBALS and TRANSMORPHERS. If you guessed that he used to work for Asylum, specializers in quick, cheap ripoffs, you were right. This is supposedly going to have a limited theatrical release this fall, so keep your eyes peeled for more info!
