Stuart Gordon, who has been adapting H.P Lovecraft's novels into films using unique cinematography, once again made an episode based on the same writer's story.

He crosses over reality and non-reality, and uses creative, unique images of horror by putting conceptual elements of the original story into concrete images. H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House is filled with unforgettable scenes including witch rituals, rats that bite off human meat and the amour between the main character and the witch.
