I need you to react to The American horror story season 10 trailer please ! For the love of American horror story. ruclips.net/video/nK2gVZ5Cj30/видео.html
I *deeply* love Shirley Jackson! If you like this one, you should def read 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle'.' Not horror, but creepy and weird and just perfect!
Just got done reading the book. I had heard about the movie first a long time ago not realising that there was a book. Then I saw your video and it inspired me to get a copy!
It’s funny because I had the opposite experience. I read the book before the movie was released and saw the movie in theaters. Even having read the book; I found the film to be a very good and surprising (but not in a bad way) adaptation. The only real criticism I have of the film is ****Spoilers*** By killing off the Greek so much earlier in the film we basically have to bump up the deaths, and the characterizations suffer a bit. We lose almost all of Mathias as a character and the way the arcs of the other characters gets shuffled doesn’t work as well as it does in the novel. The movie is still solid and underrated, however.
My one true complaint about the movie, is it felt like everything happens in a day and a half. The book on the other hand made me feel the length of time these victims were on that mound.
I think the book takes place over 2-3 days, which is still relatively short, but I agree. It feels so much longer in the book because we get more detail throughout each day.
The Ritual is a movie and has a book! And one of the rare instances where I prefer the movie to the book. I think that would be a neat one! I loved the Ruins movie AND the novel. The novel was excellent, one of my favorite horror novels. It was incredibly agonizing to read and I love the way Scott was able to really bring across the bleak, dismal horror of the situations at hand. It made the plants feel much more eldritch horror-y. Love love loved it! Amy’s death was so depressing and horrifying that it still sits with me.
Hi, I was a bookseller for about ten years and for a while specialised in horror, So I love that you are doing this. I would recommend ‘let the right one in.’ I feel I have to warn you that this book features some very disturbing themes. ‘The books of blood’ by Clive Barker have had numerous screen adaptations, I mention these books so I can recommend a short story that’s not been made for a screen. In the hills, the cities.’ (From volume one) is one of the greatest short stories I have ever read! As a side note Stephen King read this short and said that Barker was the future of horror.
So happy to see you’re making this a series! I know this is just as obvious as King, but I’d love to see a comparison on the Hannibal Lecter books/films - I’m working through the books now and have been saving the films for when I’m done. Not sure why it’s taken me so long to get around to them!
@@villainousthoughts I haven't read the books but I saw the movies and even the series. I kind of like how they explain his hunger for human flesh with a tragic backstory but the whole thing with the Japanese aunt or whatever she was to him felt out of context even in the series when they add her as a childhood friend felt off
You describe the book so well!! It’s SO FULL of tension. After I finished it I needed some time to comprehend everything that happened! I think I read this in like 2 days. It’s so hard to put down!
I know it's more of a thriller drama but you could do Things heard and Seen book vs movie comparison. You could also do the Fear Street Triology movie adaptations of the books.
Laura Ramsey performance as Stacy was incredible she really made you feel for her was so uncomfortable to watch when she was cutting flesh off her body . Need to give the book a read .
The book The Ruins scared the shit out of me. The movie SUCKED! The author changed the ending to surprise fans of the book. We didn't want to be surprised. We liked the source material. Such a waste.
I love this content ! I read the ruins a long time ago and forgot how bleak it was. I liked the book a bit better, but now going to rewatch the movie after hearing that it was written by the author. Happy Friday the 13th!
While them drinking may seem stupid, to me it was just the book's way of showing that these people understood they were doomed by that point. Like, they all kept talking about hope even toward the end, but I think most of them realized they were fully fucked and that hope was pointless. Under those circumstances, drinking isn't stupid, it's logical. Numb the pain on your way out. Also, I realize they were in denial a lot of the time, but the minute I though a vine was going to eat me from the inside out, I'd be running down that hill to the first guy holding a rifle.
The Exorcist! I’ve really appreciated and respected the movie for years but I read the book earlier this year and was surprised by how much I preferred and adored it; the characters are so likeable and while it sticks to the story in the movie it delves deeper in all the parts you’d want it to and gives context. The audiobook is read by the author and I couldn’t recommend it enough!
I absolutely loved the Exorcist. I've read the audio book several times and let's just say the exorcism scenes are really intense; more so than the movie in some cases. Love the movie too.
An underrated read is absolutely "Phantoms" by King's rival, Dean Koontz. I am not an easy person to scare, but this book unnerved me so fucking much the first time I read it many many years ago, and it is without a doubt my most reread book, ever. And it even has an adaptation, from 1998. And oh my god, it is such a dreadful movie. What I wouldn't give for a new adaptation. Done by Mike Flanagan, of course.
i liked the movie when i was younger, i never knew it was a book! but i read it in one sitting last night and i loved it. my favorite character was eric - i thought he was so brave and sweet and cute, and i think out of the four friends he suffered the most :(
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Junji Ito I would die for him, so I really recommend his work!!!, Uzumaki is the best for me, but Gyo and the Junji Ito Collection has amazing stories!
...you're essentially starting a series that's "Lost in Adaptation, but specifically for Horror"?! How do I subscribe more than I already am?? I found your channel a few months back and I love your work. I look forward to more of this from you! Keep being awesome!
Ooh I would be interested in your opinion on The Road book and movie! While entirely different in plot, I feel The Road gives very similar vibes to the hoplessness of a situation!
I remember reading this book. I used to be a book reader when I worked in West Africa. I passed it to my friend after I finished it and I’m like…read or not. It’s a heavy read and you will struggle with it because you want to read more. But you just don’t feel good with how it’s going and you end up pass the book to somebody else because it’s good, but it’s one of those books. I forgot the whole story but remember the impact of that book and it was crazy because every night it would rain in the jungle and I was reading this book. I ended up of course with True Blood books and Reacher stuff. But this one book.
This is an old one but “ A Simple Plan” is a book and movie I both read and watched. The movie was really good… It’s from the 90’s and also by Scott Smith.
Oh so my favorite youtuber is just gonna nonchalantly show me she's also a BB fan AND live feeds watcher.. oh no no, i'm fine! I'm FINE! But seriously lmao I'm glad you're also a fan! This season is going so well!! (Sorry this comment is entirely BB based :x)
The Chalk Man - is such an amazing book with great character development, left me guessing right till the end. They're meant to be making a 6 part series on it this year for the BBC.

I have some recommendations for movie and books for you. Wounds movie with The Visible Filth short story from Wounds short story collection by Nathan Ballingrud, Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin, The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker with Hellraiser, The Amityville Horror by Jan Anson, Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
House of leaves is an amazing book! I wonder if they’ll ever make a film on the Navidson records. I feel like it would be good cause its a pretty new concept in my opinion!
I keep hearing how great House of Leaves is, and I just did not feel that way once I read it. I wonder how much of the disorienting effect was lost because I read it as an ebook.
@@royaldiggy That's what I gathered after I *begrudgingly* finished it, then read other people's take on it on reddit. I liked the general story and felt like there must be something there with the narrator that I missed because of the format. I read the whole book though, so it at least wasn't so bad that I just gave up
Girl read Uzumaki please, it's amazing. Also when people ask my favorite horror movie I always say The Ruins. My aunt owned it on DVD and I believe I watched it when I was about 9 or 10. I'm yet to read the book.
I liked the movie THE RUINS a lot better than CABIN FEVER. I’ll have to read the book. Sounds kind of like the adaptation of THE DESCENT (likewise haven’t read the book) where one narrow-angled slice of the book was scripted....
The movie completely misinterpreted the tone and goal of the book. The book just drags and drags and prolongs the suffering of everyone. Its just brutal. One of the most depressing reads. They turned that into complete shit
The Rats from James Herbert and the movie Deadly Eyes. Shrine from James Herbert and the movie Unholy. Baxter from Ken Greenhall. Intensity from Dean Koontz with the movie and the " remake" Huate Tension from Alexandre Aja. Offspring from Jack Ketchum comparing it with the movie and choosing if Off Season would have been a better movie. Tom Savage's Valentine and the movie! I know what you did lst summer and the movie
I started reading the book and DNF’d around 100 pages because the characters were just too unlikable and I thought their choices were dumb and annoying lol so I just stopped and watched the movie and I loved the movie!! Probably wasn’t going to finish the book but since you said there’s a lot of differences, I may pick it back up…so I won’t watch your spoiler section lol.
Love this idea! Some ideas are: birdbox, the girl with all the gifts, world War z (SO different) station eleven (in production I think?) and haunting of hill house!
I'd love to see someone try to adapt "The Call" by Peadar O'guilin. I know the description calls this book juvenile fiction but the sheer amount of body horror and disturbing imagery that this book has left me with adult levels of existential dread. If you want a good Irish horror I cannot recommend "The Call" enough.
I also watched Roanoke Gaming and he does an interesting analysis of the plant in the movie. He absolutely hates Amy from the movie. I think that the reason she survived was to have a Final Girl scene, but the character is despicable, so I don't know what the point really was.
@PossesedbyHorror I have a horror movie recommendation! It’s black Christmas 2019! It may not be the best but is fun and goes on full feminist power. Tell me your thoughts on on it! ❤️
The book is so tense and bleak and very realistic - I felt tension right from the start. The film just feels like an okay horror film - it’s shot with that flat, Hollywood style that is very uninteresting to me. Ari Aster (Midsommar) or Robert Eggers (The Witch) could do this book justice with an adaptation, I think. As far as the film we got, I def agree that some of the switches were meh (the Greek getting shot/Mathias falling down the shaft), and the weird switch between Amy’s and Stacy’s characters - didn’t get it. I def prefer the book. It was so good and I burned right through it in a day. Very disturbing. Recommended for a Halloween read.
I am requesting a book. It's my book lol. I'm not sure if you really subscriber's books. Emma from Spooky Astronauts listened to the audio book. It's called A Short Collection of Horrifying Tales and it's on Amazon 🖤
I know that you're a fan of controversial opinions so here's mine... Stephen King is overrated. My favourite horror author, whom I'm recommending to you now is a British writer called Shaun Hutson. You may already know about him, but if you don't then you definitely need to seek him out asap. For me he is 100 times better than King. Don't get me wrong, I have read and enjoyed a couple of King books (It and Cell), but I was kinda put off him years ago when I tried to read Pet Sematary and gave up on it six chapters in when absolutely nothing had happened yet. I don't get that problem with Shaun as his stories tend to get right down to the good stuff from chapter one onwards. Sadly only one of Shaun's books (Slugs) has been made into a movie, though they all deserve to be adapted and hopefully one day we will see more Hutson movies. So yeah, seek out Slugs the movie and the book and do a comparison on those for a future video. I'd love to see that, and maybe, just maybe you might become a fan of Shaun's work too. :) PS: I am planning on giving Pet Sematary another chance at some point.
SPOILERS Something I didn’t like about the movie is that it basically turned into what the characters were joking about in the book: the film that would be made about them. Without the psychological aspects that you mentioned it just, to me, became another stereotypical slasher movie where the people die basically in the order you’d guess. Having Ame somehow escape at the end, even though she was the first one to die in the book doesn’t make sense with the story. Having Stacy just turn into the sexy girl who strips her clothes off and then dies just seems a bit cynical to me.
Thor from Wayne Smith. It was adapted to the movie Bad Moon in 1996. But the book is way better. The most fun book I've read all summer. The narrator is the dog the barely appears in the movie, and the story is a bad ass german-shepard fighting a Werewolf to save his human family. If that didn't convinced anyone I give up.
I pick "Vertigo". I hated the movie the first time, but on the second viewing, I realized that the second half of the movie is really all a dream; not real. I bet the book that's its' based on proves I'm right, if I can find it.....Just saying.
I always felt it was cosmic horror. The vines are a material manifestation of Tlaltecuhtli (pronounced Tlal-teh-koo-tlee and sometimes spelled Tlaltecutli) is the name of the monstrous earth god among the Aztec. "The one who gives and devours life." She represents the earth and the sky, and was one of the gods in the Aztec pantheon most hungry for human sacrifice. One piece of Tlaltecuhtli's body became the earth, mountains, and rivers, her hair the trees and flowers, her eyes the caves and wells. The other piece became the vault of the sky, although, in this early time, no sun or stars were embedded in it yet. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca gave Tlatecuhtli the gift of providing humans with whatever they needed from her body, but it was a gift that didn't make her happy Thus in Mexica mythology, Tlaltecuhtli represents the surface of the earth; however, she was said to be angry, and she was the first of the gods to demand the hearts and blood of humans for her unwilling sacrifice. Some versions of the myth say Tlaltecuhtli would not stop crying and bear fruit (plants and other growing things) unless she was moistened with the blood of men. Now watch the movie again and interpret that as you will. www.thoughtco.com/tlaltecuhtli-the-monstrous-aztec-goddess-169344
The Hunger Games pls 😍😅 I‘m not a big reader, but that book compared to the movie? Oh man, soo good 😮💨 I remember how I reed it in 3 days on my vacation in croatia 🤓
Would love Rosemary’s Baby though I hate the director of the movie. I actually prefer the book and the husband character is even more deceptive in that version and would love your take.
You are the first person referring to this film. The story seemed interesting so I watched it, it has suspense, tension, is dark and works as a horror film and while I'm not crazy about it, it was good to watch for once. I didn't knew it was a book but why they switched the deaths and put the girl who dies in it to be the only survivor? 🤔 Ok changes can be made in book adaptations (the Mayan temple instead of the hill) but when changes violate the original material is a very negative element.
So, i think they changed the character that cuts themselves open to a girl, simply because it’s more visually appealing… not trying to be sick, but she’s in her underwear and stuff. Clearly they were trying to throw a little sex appeal in with the gore
I’m so happy to hear someone talking about the ruins-I never hear anyone mention it! Seconding a lot of people’s comments for The Ritual, Battle Royale and Hellraiser.
Please review Hell House by Richard Matheson compared to the 1973 movie The Legend of Hell House!(: The Ring is my favorite horror movie also, and I generally agree with your views on books and horror movies. I think you’ll find, like me, that this movie really follows the book in my opinion the best I’ve ever seen. Add to that that Hell House is just a good creepy book, I think you’d love it!
Personally I think the book is ten times better than the movie. I dont think the movie was well executed because everything is so compromised, the characters are very surface level. Also the body horror is crazy idk the movie just didnt gave me the feeling of terror from what the characters felt in the book
I LIKED THE MOVIE BETTER HERE. THAT'S RARE FOR ME. IT'S JUST WITH A TITLE LIKE THE RUINS A HILL AND A mine shaft IS SO MUCH LESS THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. IF TITLE HAD BEEN DIFFERENT, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THAT WAY. THE TITLE IS MISLEADING. VERY MUCH SO.
I know what you did last summer. Just cause I'm curious to know what the book is like compared to the movie. Never read it but it'd be interesting to know . Same with bird box. The movie was awful but curious if the book was good. Bad movies but good books is always interesting to see how they mess up something when they have it all there for them already lol
QUESTION: ergonomically, where are you when you read? I feel like I don't have a spot that is the "right" spot to sit and read. (Honestly at the moment I feel most natural standing and reading in my kitchen.) I want to read more but I guess I'm looking for advice on how and where. :\
the next book vs movie we’ll be discussing will be The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson! feel free to read/rewatch the Netflix series by the end of September so you can participate in the discourse :)

I scrolled down to recommend it as well! And here you are :D
Same! And Adam Neville's "The Reddening" is an exceptional read, which I hope also gets adapted into an Ari Aster type 😍
Oh man...the Ritual just descended into absurdity in the book. The movie was much better imo.
Wanted to recommend this too! And I totally agree, the movie is so much better
The Ruins is my favorite summer horror novel. I have read it every summer since 2008. It’s my favorite tradition. 💛
Hi, I was a bookseller for about ten years and for a while specialised in horror, So I love that you are doing this. I would recommend ‘let the right one in.’ I feel I have to warn you that this book features some very disturbing themes. ‘The books of blood’ by Clive Barker have had numerous screen adaptations, I mention these books so I can recommend a short story that’s not been made for a screen.

For some reason… I was allowed to read this book in elementary school and do a presentation on it 😂
You could do Battle Royale, comparing the book, the manga and the movie.

I own the book so this will definitely be in the future!
I read that one but haven't got around to watching the movie yet. Very intense read but I don't think I would read it a second time.
@@PossessedbyHorror I liked the book a lot, but the place where people feel like the writer jumped the shark is for sure.... it was a choice.
I know it's more of a thriller drama but you could do Things heard and Seen book vs movie comparison. You could also do the Fear Street Triology movie adaptations of the books.

I read the whole book though, so it at least wasn't so bad that I just gave up
@@maliceaverill9007 I couldn't get through it.
This novel genuinely made me feel uneasy, it's a sanguine masterpiece
I think Pet Semetary is the SCARIEST book I’ve ever read; The Ruins is the most HORRIFYING book I’ve ever read. “Horrifying” in a good way, though.
Howling book vs movie
Exorcist 3 vs legion
Any Clive barker book vs film adaptation

The ruins is my favorite book ever. You should do the bad seed and whatever happen to baby Jane I love old horror movies
you should check out the book that hellraiser is based off of the hellbound heart
Yasss
Holy shit, I didn't know those were based on a book! Thank you!
@@maliceaverill9007 your welcome
Girl read Uzumaki please, it's amazing.
Also when people ask my favorite horror movie I always say The Ruins. My aunt owned it on DVD and I believe I watched it when I was about 9 or 10. I'm yet to read the book.
🔥🔥🔥I'm recommending the book Wold War Z to compare to its movie!! 🙏🔥🔥🔥
The book to movie differences are infinite.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Ryu Murakami adaptations, like Audition or Piercing. :D
A few suggestions: " I Know What You Did Last Summer"; "Sphere"; "Jurassic Park"
I liked the movie THE RUINS a lot better than CABIN FEVER. I’ll have to read the book. Sounds kind of like the adaptation of THE DESCENT (likewise haven’t read the book) where one narrow-angled slice of the book was scripted....
The movie completely misinterpreted the tone and goal of the book.
The book just drags and drags and prolongs the suffering of everyone. Its just brutal. One of the most depressing reads.
They turned that into complete shit
we have always lived in the castle is a great book and a great movie
YESSSSS
Please do a comparison of the movie Knock at the Cabin (2023) vs the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul G. Tremblay! 🖤
The Rats from James Herbert and the movie Deadly Eyes. Shrine from James Herbert and the movie Unholy. Baxter from Ken Greenhall. Intensity from Dean Koontz with the movie and the " remake" Huate Tension from Alexandre Aja. Offspring from Jack Ketchum comparing it with the movie and choosing if Off Season would have been a better movie. Tom Savage's Valentine and the movie! I know what you did lst summer and the movie
I started reading the book and DNF’d around 100 pages because the characters were just too unlikable and I thought their choices were dumb and annoying lol so I just stopped and watched the movie and I loved the movie!! Probably wasn’t going to finish the book but since you said there’s a lot of differences, I may pick it back up…so I won’t watch your spoiler section lol.
Love this idea! Some ideas are: birdbox, the girl with all the gifts, world War z (SO different) station eleven (in production I think?) and haunting of hill house!
I'd love to see someone try to adapt "The Call" by Peadar O'guilin. I know the description calls this book juvenile fiction but the sheer amount of body horror and disturbing imagery that this book has left me with adult levels of existential dread. If you want a good Irish horror I cannot recommend "The Call" enough.
LOVE BIG BROTHER AND LOVE YOU. YOU'RE A BIG BROTHER DISNEY AND HORROR GEEK.THAT MAKES TWO OF US.(idk if youre a Disney fan i assume you are girl)
Have both, read book first. Personally of girls is different, but not important. Have urated movie,too.
PLEASE do a novel called Valentine and the early 2000's slasher film adaptation.
Book was a thousand times better then the movie
That's what I've heard. I think the movie has a certain post-Scream era charm to it though. I need to read the book though.
I also watched Roanoke Gaming and he does an interesting analysis of the plant in the movie.
He absolutely hates Amy from the movie. I think that the reason she survived was to have a Final Girl scene, but the character is despicable, so I don't know what the point really was.
@PossesedbyHorror I have a horror movie recommendation! It’s black Christmas 2019! It may not be the best but is fun and goes on full feminist power. Tell me your thoughts on on it! ❤️
The book is so tense and bleak and very realistic - I felt tension right from the start.
The film just feels like an okay horror film - it’s shot with that flat, Hollywood style that is very uninteresting to me. Ari Aster (Midsommar) or Robert Eggers (The Witch) could do this book justice with an adaptation, I think.
As far as the film we got, I def agree that some of the switches were meh (the Greek getting shot/Mathias falling down the shaft), and the weird switch between Amy’s and Stacy’s characters - didn’t get it.
I def prefer the book. It was so good and I burned right through it in a day. Very disturbing. Recommended for a Halloween read.
I am requesting a book.
It's my book lol. I'm not sure if you really subscriber's books. Emma from Spooky Astronauts listened to the audio book.
It's called A Short Collection of Horrifying Tales and it's on Amazon 🖤
I know that you're a fan of controversial opinions so here's mine... Stephen King is overrated. My favourite horror author, whom I'm recommending to you now is a British writer called Shaun Hutson. You may already know about him, but if you don't then you definitely need to seek him out asap. For me he is 100 times better than King. Don't get me wrong, I have read and enjoyed a couple of King books (It and Cell), but I was kinda put off him years ago when I tried to read Pet Sematary and gave up on it six chapters in when absolutely nothing had happened yet. I don't get that problem with Shaun as his stories tend to get right down to the good stuff from chapter one onwards. Sadly only one of Shaun's books (Slugs) has been made into a movie, though they all deserve to be adapted and hopefully one day we will see more Hutson movies. So yeah, seek out Slugs the movie and the book and do a comparison on those for a future video. I'd love to see that, and maybe, just maybe you might become a fan of Shaun's work too. :)
PS: I am planning on giving Pet Sematary another chance at some point.
Amy probably “survived” in the movie because Jenna Malone played the part.

Something I didn’t like about the movie is that it basically turned into what the characters were joking about in the book: the film that would be made about them. Without the psychological aspects that you mentioned it just, to me, became another stereotypical slasher movie where the people die basically in the order you’d guess. Having Ame somehow escape at the end, even though she was the first one to die in the book doesn’t make sense with the story. Having Stacy just turn into the sexy girl who strips her clothes off and then dies just seems a bit cynical to me.
Thor from Wayne Smith. It was adapted to the movie Bad Moon in 1996. But the book is way better. The most fun book I've read all summer. The narrator is the dog the barely appears in the movie, and the story is a bad ass german-shepard fighting a Werewolf to save his human family. If that didn't convinced anyone I give up.
I pick "Vertigo". I hated the movie the first time, but on the second viewing, I realized that the second half of the movie is really all a dream; not real. I bet the book that's its' based on proves I'm right, if I can find it.....Just saying.
John Dies at the End by David Wong vs the movie. They are wild. Read the book first. Everything David Wong (Jason Pargin) writes is gold
I always felt it was cosmic horror. The vines are a material manifestation of Tlaltecuhtli (pronounced Tlal-teh-koo-tlee and sometimes spelled Tlaltecutli) is the name of the monstrous earth god among the Aztec. "The one who gives and devours life." She represents the earth and the sky, and was one of the gods in the Aztec pantheon most hungry for human sacrifice.
One piece of Tlaltecuhtli's body became the earth, mountains, and rivers, her hair the trees and flowers, her eyes the caves and wells. The other piece became the vault of the sky, although, in this early time, no sun or stars were embedded in it yet. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca gave Tlatecuhtli the gift of providing humans with whatever they needed from her body, but it was a gift that didn't make her happy Thus in Mexica mythology, Tlaltecuhtli represents the surface of the earth; however, she was said to be angry, and she was the first of the gods to demand the hearts and blood of humans for her unwilling sacrifice. Some versions of the myth say Tlaltecuhtli would not stop crying and bear fruit (plants and other growing things) unless she was moistened with the blood of men.
Now watch the movie again and interpret that as you will.

The Hunger Games pls 😍😅 I‘m not a big reader, but that book compared to the movie? Oh man, soo good 😮💨 I remember how I reed it in 3 days on my vacation in croatia 🤓
Would love Rosemary’s Baby though I hate the director of the movie. I actually prefer the book and the husband character is even more deceptive in that version and would love your take.
You are the first person referring to this film. The story seemed interesting so I watched it, it has suspense, tension, is dark and works as a horror film and while I'm not crazy about it, it was good to watch for once. I didn't knew it was a book but why they switched the deaths and put the girl who dies in it to be the only survivor? 🤔 Ok changes can be made in book adaptations (the Mayan temple instead of the hill) but when changes violate the original material is a very negative element.
[OFF-TOPIC] Big Brother viewer here! Although my interest on the show is quite polarizing tbh.
So, i think they changed the character that cuts themselves open to a girl, simply because it’s more visually appealing… not trying to be sick, but she’s in her underwear and stuff. Clearly they were trying to throw a little sex appeal in with the gore
I’m so happy to hear someone talking about the ruins-I never hear anyone mention it!
Seconding a lot of people’s comments for The Ritual, Battle Royale and Hellraiser.
Please review Hell House by Richard Matheson compared to the 1973 movie The Legend of Hell House!(: The Ring is my favorite horror movie also, and I generally agree with your views on books and horror movies. I think you’ll find, like me, that this movie really follows the book in my opinion the best I’ve ever seen. Add to that that Hell House is just a good creepy book, I think you’d love it!
Personally I think the book is ten times better than the movie. I dont think the movie was well executed because everything is so compromised, the characters are very surface level. Also the body horror is crazy idk the movie just didnt gave me the feeling of terror from what the characters felt in the book
I LIKED THE MOVIE BETTER HERE. THAT'S RARE FOR ME. IT'S JUST WITH A TITLE LIKE THE RUINS A HILL AND A mine shaft IS SO MUCH LESS THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. IF TITLE HAD BEEN DIFFERENT, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THAT WAY. THE TITLE IS MISLEADING. VERY MUCH SO.
I know what you did last summer. Just cause I'm curious to know what the book is like compared to the movie. Never read it but it'd be interesting to know . Same with bird box. The movie was awful but curious if the book was good. Bad movies but good books is always interesting to see how they mess up something when they have it all there for them already lol
Also if you're looking for a book/movie comparison I think ANNHILATION (2018 movie, 2014 book) is a great compare/contrast.
The Hannibal lector series
Psycho
Candyman and hellraiser
I know what you did last summer
Read Stefan Grabiński if You can! He has some amazing horror short stories, I really love his work.
Another option by Dean Koontz is "Hideaway" ... not surprising the books are way better than the movie.
QUESTION: ergonomically, where are you when you read? I feel like I don't have a spot that is the "right" spot to sit and read. (Honestly at the moment I feel most natural standing and reading in my kitchen.) I want to read more but I guess I'm looking for advice on how and where. :\
Make a video about Sharp Objects series and book, it's 100% a thriller but still very good
It would be cool if you compared I know what you did last summer, book vs movies, specially now that the TV show is coming in October
Read the Road book twice, watched movie. Both very depressing, but good
