October Prompt: Horror Story to Movie

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

Book Trivia Game in October features Horror Stories -- stories told in a darkened room, listened to and shivering in fright and/or delight.

Have any of the books listed in there been made into movies? Had you read the book or seen the movie or both? What was your impression of them? Was the book translated into a move well or not?

Or maybe you know of another book made into a movie which totally had you shivering in fright (and hiding behind the couch). What was it? Who was the author? What is the name of the movie? Were there more than one movie made based on that book? (Think - from a totally different genre - of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and how many movies and shows it has been made into, either faithful to the story or changed into something (ta da) completely horrifying like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!)

Post below with your impressions. Your book and movie comparison needs to be at least 100 words to count towards Beans (and any possible award)! (You are welcome to write of more than one book/movie combination.)

You will receive 20 Beans when you post. Any replies in here, through the school year, will be credited towards a possible award. As always, please keep to HOL appropriate sources for your post.

There is no deadline as such for these prompts but if you’d like it to count towards your chance of earning the award for a specific year, we’ll need it by the end of that school year. If you’re comfortable sharing, then post below. If not, email your story to us via hol.bookclub @ gmail.com (without the spaces).

Remember to click preview before posting to look for spelling and grammatical errors -- or see if auto-correct changed what you wanted to write to something entirely else!
