on Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are

True. Its like with Stephen King.I saw The Shining movie and later read the book but much preferred the movie. The book is not as entertaining! Then again, I read Nightmares and Dreamscapes and thought it much better than the TV series. Kind of first impressions last, I guess.
Take the Dan Brown adaptations. Read them first and all the details and intrigue are there but watch the movies after and they seem kind of rushed and somewhat shallow.
Those trolls in Where The Wild Things Are spooked me as a child but look all wrong in the movie. Then again, I've grown up, too!

I'll be damned. I remember seeing similiar illustrations in some book about trolls or something as a kid! Might have been the same book or maybe Billy Goats Gruff? Looks somewhat pagan and Boschian, now. This just unlocked a latent memory! Thanks.

on Fright Night

First saw this maybe on video or TV as a kid (oh dear) and really liked it. Very offbeat. Was funny, erotic (that dance scene, phew), and genuinely scary in places (the alleyway part was sort of gay but well creepy and all the dark scenes in the houses).
Evil Ed was a well funny little guy but I was shocked later to find out about him LOL
The sequel was OK but not as good although it had a sultry Julie Carmen in it as the vampire (she was later In The Mouth of Madness, love that movie).

Saw this on TV maybe as a teen but have forgotten about it until I heard the Bowie track in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds! Love the review. This sounds like one of cinema's high points in the '80s and with Paul Schrader making it (who worked with Coppola and Scorsese), I gotta see it again. Its HOT!
Thanks!
