What If Movie Monsters Looked Like Their Book Versions?

Movies always change characters completely when they adapt books, so for this Halloween I'm turning it around! Let's see what these famous movie monsters should REALLY look like!

Reason Stephen kings description of Pennywise is so contradictory is two reasons 1. he’s really an alien Shapeshifter from another dimension who crash landed on earth during the time of the dinosaurs. He also appears in the book as a mummy, wolf man, and Beverly’s dad at various points. 2. King has confessed this he wrote the first draft of IT when he was at the peak of his cocaine addiction and was lacking most higher brain functions at the time.

[@bungbananaman]

I don't think Pennywise being an alien shape-shifting explains the weird, unnecessary inconsistencies in Pennywise's design. Like his eyes constantly changing color or his clothes making no visual sense or his color pallete constantly changing. I think Stephen was just way too high.

[@Robyamdam]

so you're saying to get past first draft anxiety, I need to take a bunch of cocaine

[@d4n737]

@@bungbananaman I mean... The eyes are not even slightly a problem. You're telling me a creature that constantly turns into whatever monster people find scary can't change eye color, or the author is high? Besides... Wasn't it specifically said that he turned his eyes blue SPECIFICALLY so that he reminds Georgie of his mother, making him more comfortable aroung him

[@JayFolipurba]

He wrote a 700 page bestselling masterpiece of literature canon while "lacking most higher brain functions"... I don't know if that is why it's so successful, or if it means he'd be even more of a genius sober

[@GaybrohamStinkton]

Frankensteins monster could arguably be called Frankenstein. Given that it is the doctors surname and that he is metaphysically birthing him into reality. He is also referred to as "his Adam" but its likely an metaphor instead of literal

[@jermastwin2676]

If we wanna get real philosophical, Victor himself has earned the title of, “Frankenstein’s Monster”, as his goal to create life causes his friends, family, and other innocents to die.

[@caucasoidape8838]

Tell James Rolfe this.

[@johndaniel7161]

I just accept that the name has sunk into the mythos of pop culture to such a degree that it can be treated as his correct title. If I say someone "looks like frankenstein," it can generally be inferred that I mean the monster. If I say Doctor Frankenstein, people know I mean the scientist.

The 1925 silent 'Phantom' comes the closest to the book description. Lon Chaney Sr was a genius with makeup.

I love these! I just wish that you would have made Dracula's teeth more similar to those of a real vampire bat's. They actually also have sharp incisors which they use for piercing skin, their sharp canines are used for shaving away hair. The only popular vampire I know of that does this is Count Orlok from Nosferatu but it's a very interesting part of his design.

[@roul4842]

Frankenstein was definitely my favorite. Looked so much cooler than the movie adaptations.

[@reasyrandom]

I may be sleep-deprived, but Dracula "cosplaying Valentine's candy" cracked me up.

[@TheAlexSchmidt]

To be fair the quote about Ronald McDonald says "a later year" and not "a year later" so it could be any time between 1957 and when it's being told. Still doesn't excuse Stephen King not bothering to figure out a consistent design for his other features.

That Pennywise would've been so much better in film. Perfect

[@sidnew2739]

No, it wouldn't. The Skarsgard-Take is much more like the book, as even IT's clown-firm is usually scary as shit. The "baity" nice clown is barely used by IT, only for Georgie. Usually Pennywise has sharp teeth and emty eye-sockets.

[@princessmaly]

Funny story aboot the Thing. There were actually going to include the three-eyed form in the prequel, finished building and filming the creature, too. The idea was to suggest that it was the original pilot of the spaceship, with the Thing being a specimen collected for a sort of "alien zoo" that they didn't realize was an imitation, which eventually broke out and killed the pilot, causing the ship to crash. None of that would have been explicit in the film, but that was the idea behind it anwyas, which is pretty clever as a way to make that shape have some sort of weight to the story, without saying the Thing has a "true" form, which to be honest doesn't make a lot of sense, at least in the films. Why wasn't it in the finished film, then? Same reasons everything else good got cut out of it: to shove a bunch of shitty cgi garbage in its place.

[@doktor_ghul]

I find myself looking forward to more of these " make the character look like the book, not the movie or TV show " vidz, even though I have to give Steve King some slack ( Praise "Bob" ), and say that Pennywise is an outer-dimensional creature that never quite looks the same way twice because his real appearance is far and away more horrible than a cleaned up John Wayne Gacy. After all, he imitates the Mummy, the Wolfman, and many other creatures , including the Black Lagoon Creature and a shifting, uncertain figure that really never focuses upon one form. He wants to scare you, not be drawn on form all the time.
