Dunwich Hoodies
Description: Dunwich Records was an independent American record label started by Bill Traut, Eddie Higgins and George Badonsky in Chicago in 1965. Dunwich was also a production company which licensed recordings to other labels, including Atlantic, Atco, Columbia, Mercury and SGC.

Description: “Oh, oh, my Gawd, that haff face--that haff face on top of it...that face with the red eyes an’ crinkly albino hair, an’ no chin, like the Whateleys...It was a octopus, centipede, spider kind o’ thing, but they was a haff-shaped man’s face on top of it, an’ it looked like Wizard Whateley’s, only it was yards an’ yards acrost....” -- H. P Lovecraft, "The Dunwich Horror"
Description: Miskatonic University is a university located in Arkham, named after the Miskatonic River, which flows through the town. The school appears in numerous Cthulhu Mythos stories by Lovecraft and other writers. The Miskatonic University is a highly prestigious university, on par with Harvard University, in fact Harvard and Miskatonic are the two most popular schools for the children of the Massachusetts “Old Gentry”.
Description: This nostalgic design parodies a vintage 1971 paperback book cover for "The Dunwich Horror" by H.P. Lovecraft. The spooky artwork displays a lonely farmhouse on a hill at night, while a bloody, glowing monster claw slash marks the foreground rock. It is a fantastic conversation starter for retro sci-fi collectors, horror bookworms, and alternative gothic style fans.
Description: Hit the trails with this vintage national park style badge for the "Miskatonic Hiking Club" exploring the "Dunwich Hill Trail." The detailed outdoor graphic frames a starry night sky, a crescent moon, and a giant glowing monster footprint next to a wooden warning sign. It is a fantastic gift for tabletop RPG gamers, cryptozoology fans, and dark academia adventurers who appreciate clever literary parodies.
