Are These Horror Adaptations BETTER Than The Books?

[@firefury6053]

"I have come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum." Classic one-liner. Thank you, Carpenter! ❤ 🎬 🔥

[@stevereynolds5684]

Thank Piper, he improved it.

[@thechickapedia1175]

Rofl using the hell in a cell commentary over the They Live fight was great!

[@BorderlineEnlightenment]

My parents first date was to see Silver Bullet, so I guess I owe it my life

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

U put it excellently, ' thanks again Steve King 👑❤😂😂

[@shawnbell3468]

The They Live fight really has no stakes in it which makes it a good fight as it's not like a car chase where you know the protagonist will eventually get away not matter how insane it gets. The big fight is just over putting on a pair of sunglasses so anyone could win without really steering the plot much, but seriously why the heck wouldn't Frank just put on the glasses to just at least humor Nada, Frank really must of wanted to just kick his ass since the day they met or something.

[@grantpowell4135]

The scary stories was good imo. And silver bullet is a classic!!

[@heatherreader]

I love Silver Bullett. I have not read Cycle of the Werewolf yet. Megan Follows was also in the movie. Which was a big deal for us kids who were Anne of Green Gables fans.

Gary Busey: Bad guy in Under Siege. Everett McGill: Bad guy in Under Siege 2.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

Scary stories was……..okay. It have been better off as an anthology.

[@javanxhouse21]

The VO audio is messed up in The intro

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

Love both these films 👍💜🐾😊

[@trinaq]

The illustrations of "Scary Stories" really creeped me out as a child, especially the Toe and the Spot.

[@BorderlineEnlightenment]

For me it was “The Thing,” that face is burned in my mind

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

For me it was the dead hand

[@Subzerobyrd]

Yeeeaaa buddy, what’s your favorite king adaptation mine is IT(1990)

[@doomwreckertelevision3527]

Gary made this movie classic.

[@geeshep4836]

I Have Both Silver Bullet and They Live on DVD And Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark I Watched on Showtime On Demand Back in 2021 And All Three are So Very Good and Entertaining.

[@halfturn-film]

Silver Bullet was a big inspiration back in the day!

[@lainiwakura1776]

Unfortunately for the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie, the artwork is less scary when made into CG.

[@alexandergonzie1200]

Absolutely not! Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is definitely not better as the movie we got!

[@Flyboyflame937]

Scary stories shoulda been done kinda like “it” I wanted to see the survivors older that woulda been dope the movie was all ready great I just wanted that for me 😂

[@taylorrogers4064]

I like Silver Bullet. It's corny but to me it's good 1980s corniness. The reactions of the Sheriff and the father of Brady seem to be genuine reactions. They look genuinely horrified instead of just acting like they're horrified.

[@triforcewielder8500]

Why you have gorlock the destroyer on the thumbnail?

[@davidimrie6916]

It's the Coslaw family, not coleslaw.

[@harrykalb1187]

That drove me freaking NUTS! Good grief!

[@mattias969]

No no movie is better than the book.

[@josephpieri6265]

Ive always wanted a silver bullet pt 2 either is if marty or his sister got scratched and they had to deal with it

[@jason_odonnell_music]

Is poop food? 😂

[@daryldixon3685]

I would love a remake of Silver Bullet if the right person was in charge it could be one of the top Werewolf movies! I just watched Silver Bullet two nights ago and while it’s a pretty good movie, it’s aging fast!

[@Techgunius]

I'm still waiting for a true to form adaptation of Lovecraft work. Given modern Hollywood, I dont want them to touch it. Also, Steven King is the most overrated writer. It and the dark tower are okay. However, he never really developed the world. It plays out as a meh storyline, with shallow depth and low on expanding on certain characters.

[@toddboughn5168]

Guillermo del Toro has been trying to make At the Mountains of Madness for years and supposedly his screenplay is spot-on. Problem is, all the studios want a PG-13 rated film, but del Toro refuses to compromise.

[@MSinistrari]

Lovecraft's always been a difficult one to adapt because it leaves so much to the imagination. It's only been in the last 10-15 years that the technology's finally advanced enough for it to be possible. Currently the best true to form adaptations I've come across are the films done by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. I highly recommend Call of Cthulhu which is on TubiTV currently.

[@Techgunius]

@MSinistrari thanks. I appreciate the recommendation. The last Lovecraft adaptation I've seen is the cheesy 2001 Dagon.

[@MSinistrari]

@@Techgunius I also recommend the 2010 Color out of Space. It's in German, not sure where it's streaming currently, but it's pretty good. The Cage film from 2019's a gorgeous film, but they made too many changes to the story.

[@MSinistrari]

The movie of The Fury is definitely better than the book. I like to collect books/novelizations of movies, and with The Fury, the movie's mostly the last third to quarter of the book which the bulk of the book being the most dry draggy slog I've read outside of Victorian literature.

[@TheAmon216]

Are they better no, especially scary stories 🤔

[@briefcaseblues6061]

They Live is one of the only movies I wish they'd remake, at least while dude is still with us. No WWF guys though. Maybe Tom Hardy or dude from movie Upgrade who looks like Tom Hardy lol

[@daviddowsett1658]

How about a Tom Hardy paying Piper playing Tom Hardy

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

"Dude"? You mean John Carpenter? Who did develop a remake in 2010 but walked away because he knew it would suck & anger his fans? That "dude"? We are not friends.
