It was around this point that Wilbur began to search for an unabridged copy of [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|the Necronomicon]]. He had learned all of what he knew from his grandfather's library, but his copy of that book was a shortened English version, which he apparently found insufficient. He discovers that nearby Miskatonic University has a copy, but the librarian refuses to loan it out to him. {{spoiler|So he breaks in to steal it, only to be killed by a guard dog}}. And that's when things get ''really'' weird.
 
One of [[H.P. Lovecraft|HP Lovecraft]]'s most famous stories, it was adapted to film twice: as a [[So Bad It's Good]] [[Cult Classic]] in 1970, and a remake by the [[Sci Fi ChannelSyfy]] in 2009. It has also been adapted ''thrice'', generally more faithfully, as a [[Radio Drama]], first as an episode of the long running ''[[Suspense]]'' series in the 1940s starring [[Ronald Colman]], later by the Atlanta Radio Theater Company, and yet again by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society for their ''[[Dark Adventure Radio Theater]]'' series. You can read it [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Dunwich_Horror here].
