I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

Finished Twilight.
Now I'm reading Hell House by Richard Matheson. I already had to stop reading because I got scared.

Re: What are you reading?
Ha! I was about to start Hell House as soon as I finished what I'm reading now. And I've been trying to listen to it on audio when I can, but I haven't gotten far at all.

Re: What are you reading?
Just finishing this up. Really good book so far, definitely had some scares in it. It kind of affected me the same way House of Leaves did... which a book rarely does for me. Glad I decided to pop the 505s cherry with this one.Sham wrote: Now I'm reading Hell House by Richard Matheson. I already had to stop reading because I got scared.

I'm about a third of the way through and I'm really liking it so far. It's like a documentary.

Yeah, great book! I finished it up two nights ago. It really gets under your skin.shiki-jitsu wrote:Just finishing this up. Really good book so far, definitely had some scares in it.

The PG-rated movie is horrible, though. It needs a remake. I can really see Clive Owen playing Ben Fischer.

Re: What are you reading?
I liked the movie, but then I hadn't read the book yet. Still reading it, BTW. Slow going, haven't been able to read it as much as I'd like. The movie's definitely worth a watch, but really kind of reminds you that Matheson pretty much rips off and gorifies Jackson's Haunting of Hill House. Roddy McDowell was a great Fischer, I thought.

It's funny: Shirley Jackson's novel is very quiet and subdued, but the 1999 movie is loud and obnoxious.Neon Maniac wrote:I liked the movie, but then I hadn't read the book yet.

Richard Matheson's novel is extremely violent and in-your-face, but the movie doesn't show a damn thing. I was incredibly disappointed.
Not to mention my absolute favorite part of the book, where Florence's bedsheet is yanked aside and it slowly takes the form of the figure standing in the room with her, was completely changed for the movie. Lame!

Have you seen the original? A pretty good adaptation of the story. Not at all like the 1999 movie.Sham wrote:

No, but I've heard it's excellent. Someone stole the DVD rental from Hollywood Video, though.Neon Maniac wrote:Have you seen the original? A pretty good adaptation of the story. Not at all like the 1999 movie.
