I love the book and I love the movie. The movie was short on detail, but tall
on atmosphere. The music was by Tangerine Dream and it along with some stunning
cinematography makes for a sensory, even dreamy experience. Great SFX as well.
I just wish that they had kept the sword in the end. The high energy laser cannon
seemed to lack some grace.

Oh well, my $0.02 worth.

You're right; there hasn't been much recent discussion of Straub's work, 
but I am personally a huge fan of his writing.  I thought Ghost Story was 
one of the best (somewhat complicated) ghost stories I've ever read.  
Shadowland was also quite good, and for a more straight forward thriller, I 
really dug Koko.  He's well worth discussion.  He ought to be due out with 
something new soon, wouldn't you think?  It's been awhile.

My cousin, who is a collector of comic books, gets some kind of a "comic
update" magazine which announces new comics being released and new sci. fi.
movies being made.  The latest issue has announced that the movie
"Predator vs. Alien" is currently underway!!  Now I know this might sound
unbelievable, but I know for a fact that this magazine has announce such
movies as Batman, Batman returns, and Aliens 3 *WAY* before it's ever
announced on this newsgroup.  I haven't read the article myself yet,
but when I do, I'll keep you updated...Oh yeah, there's another Conan
movie due out and also another Superman movie where Arnold S. plays
another superhero (?).  I have also heard from comics readers that the
Batman series will go like this: #3: Batman against the Riddler (played by
Robin Williams), #4: Batman meets up with Robin (they haven't decided if
Robin will be a girl or a boy yet), and #5: Batman vs. the Joker AGAIN
and the Joker kills Robin.....I don't know if this is old news, but there
you have it....

'Night Gallery' is a Rod Serling series that he did after (I believe)
'The Twilight Zone'. It's the same format - half an hour, different
story and actors from week to week. 'Night Gallery' seems to be a
bit darker and more occult oriented that 'Twilight Zone', though.
Right now it's on the Sci Fi Channel at 11:30 pm after 'Tales From
the Darkside'. It's one of those series that usually shows up on
late night independent tv. But of course, now that the Sci Fi channel
has the rights to it, that's about the only place you'll be able to
see it.

Good job, but you need to add "Christine", "The Eyes of the Dragon", "The
Dark Half", any others?

Not sure, but last I checked I think "The Golden Years" was listed.

Laurel, not bad from memory.  I'm sure I would have done much worse.

   Actually, the most horrific thing about the entire series was the first
letter in the letter column of issue 3.  Some kid (15 or 16 as I recall)
raved about the ultraviolence, and "couldn't wait" until the world was
just like the one portrayed in Hard Boiled.  Scared the Hell out of me!
Just think, this kid may run for Congress some day!

   While we're chatting about horror comics, anyone else a Bernie Wrightson

You will probably get a lot of replies to this one! I meant to send it through
e-mail, but I hit 'F' before I could think. Here goes what I have in my head:

Novels:"Gerald's Game", "Tommyknockers", "Misery", "Cujo", "Carrie", "Dead
Zone", "The Stand", "Needful Things", "Firestarter", "The Shining", "The
Talisman" (with Peter Straub), the Gunslinger series (3 books so far), "Cycle
of the Werewolf", "Thinner", "The Bachman Books" (both of the last two under
Richard Bachman). I know I forgot some novels here, but if you look in the
back of a copy of "Gerald's Game", there is a complete list.

Collections:"Night Shift", "Skeleton Crew", and "Four Past Midnight"

Nonfiction:"Danse Macabre" (there may be another one or two but I can't think
of anything off the top of my head).

Screenplays:"Cat's Eye", "Creepshow", "Silver Bullet" (and as usual there may
be others, but I am doing this with no list in front of me).

Add to the Novels the uncut "Stand". Sorry I couldn't be more complete, but
hopefully you have a copy of "Gerald's Game" that you can look in! Happy
reading!

The second book is called _Reborn_ and the third book is called _Reprisal_. The
way it ended definitely ensures that there will be at least a fourth novel as 
well.

I think you're laboring under a misconception here.  The CREEPSHOW comic book
was not released as a standard comic book, in the small magazine format.  It
was in more of a trade paperback or "graphic novel" format (8.5x11"), and was
sold as a book rather than a comic book.  As far as I know, it has gone through
many printings, and unless you are attempting to collect the first edition for
hobby reasons there's no reason why you would have to pay more than cover
price for it.  I saw one at my local B. Dalton's in the mall just a few months
ago -- haven't really been looking since.  With today's prices, I'd expect it
to run you about $13-15.

Try looking in the science fiction section of book stores like Waldenbooks,
in the area where they keep the comic books, oversized illustrated novels, 
and role-playing game stuff.

Yes, I am talking about Russ Cochran! I have the hard cover Tales From the
Crypt, Haunt of Fear and Vault of Horror (all volumes) so far. I am thinking
about getting Crime Suspenstories and Shock Suspenstories volume collections
also. I really enjoy them!
Oh, well, there is a used bookstore near my house so I'll ask him about the
Twisted Tales stuff. I got the Vampirella, Creepy and Eerie issues I have from
him (though I don't have many). They are clearly take offs of EC (or shall we
call them "borrows"?:)), but still, I like to read them now and then anyway.
Later!!

Hi everyone! I am finally back! I have been so swamped with work the last
couple of weeks that I couldn't even read the messages so posting was out of
the question too! I was very saddened by Perkins' death too, Paul. People
thought I was crazy for getting so upset about it. I thought "Psycho" was an
excellent film also. I enjoyed "Psycho" and all of the sequels (of course part
one was the best, but part four comes close:)! I liked how part four gave some
kind of 'explanation' for Norman's previous behavior (and his mother's to some
