While an adaptation of The Dunwich Horror by Richard Stanley was in production, it was shelved after he was outed as an assailant by multiple former working and relational partners. It's so over the top, it's hard to tell if the black comedy that spills out is deliberate or a secondary effect. It’s as over the top as it is striking and as awesome as it is chaotic. Everything starts changing while the audience watches a family helplessly ill-equipped to handle the oncoming strangeness and horror. Lovecraft’s short story by the same name, Color out of Space picks up after a meteorite crashes down in Nicholas Cage’s front yard.

Walters revealed: “I read everything before Stephen actually reads it. She was phenomenal and we were really blessed and lucky to have her." We loved her energy and we loved her understanding of the character.
