I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

It was indeed The Dunwich Horror.
You probably mentioned this in your own review. (Which I avoided reading to avoid plot spoilers.)

I don't think I did, actually, but I did catch the book's title during the movie. After viewing, I looked the title up online to see whether others had spotted it, and of course, plenty of others had. There are movie geeks who pore over every single frame of a movie, specifically to look for Easter eggs. No bit of trivia goes un-found these days. Just type "aquaman dunwich horror" into Google, and you'll see what I mean.
By the way... it's safe to read my review now.
Thanks, Kevin. But as for plot spoilers, those in your blog posts are never safe, so I can't ever risk reading them. They're like the funniest joke ever made - so funny that people die laughing . . . . Your plot spoilers are so serious that one's head explodes even if one has already seen the film!
