Weird Trivia

Jeffrey Combs, everyone's favorite faceless vigilante/mad doctor, was cast to play a character named Wilbur in "The Dunwich Horror". As the only character named Wilbur in that story is the infamous Wilbur Whatley, who is supposed to be almost 8 feet tall at the age of 15, when a dog tears his throat out, I find that Hollywood is once again playing fast and loose with the literature. Not surprising, but interesting that they'd pick Combs.
I bet he'd do a pretty creepy Wilbur, though, even if he isn't the hulking monstrosity described by Lovecraft.
