What If Movie Monsters Looked Like Their Book Versions?

[@tommyfishhouse8050]

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.

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.

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.

I will say, I did kind of like The Thing not having an actual design. Made it a lot more terrifying knowing it couldn't be its true form even if it wanted to.

[@Morgil27]

I'm reading Frankenstein right now, and as I got to the reveal of the monster and the description of what it looked like, I suddenly remembered this video.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@sidnew2739]

You got Pennywise wrong. Georgie is the ONLY person in the book who gets a normal, friendly looking Pennywise. IT usually uses monster-appearances to hunt down the kids and even the clown-form looks disturbing most of the time (sharp teeth and no eyes). So I have to wonder if you even read the book?
