Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"The Dreams in the Witch House" is a horror story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in 1933 in Weird Tales. It is considered to be part of the Cthulhu Mythos.Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics at Miskatonic University, rents an attic room in a house that is rumored to be cursed and haunted by the spirit of a witch, Keziah Mason, who lived there in the 17th century. He experiences nocturnal visions of Mason, her familiar (a rat-like creature called Brown Jenkin), and strange creatures in otherworldly dimensions, and is offered knowledge beyond the reach of human science, but at a terrible cost.Loosely used as the basis for the film Curse of the Crimson Altar, an episode of Masters of Horror and another of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, named "Dreams in the Witch House" in both cases. In February 2023, the indie game developer Atom Brain Games released an adventure game based on the story, which also incorporates other elements from the Cthulhu Mythos.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Gilman manages to stop a servant of an Eldritch Abomination, but is unable to save the child from sacrifice. Though he manages to stay sane throughout the ordeal, he is later killed by Brown Jenkin drilling itself out of his body as punishment, and his friend, seeing this, ends up in a mental institution. | |
