Books to Film: Menacing Movies
Some people only read the book, while others only watch the movie. Many people do both and fight over in which order to approach the movies and their book counterparts.
Whatever your medium of entertainment, this list features several spine-chilling novels that have inspired even more chilling movies, all available physically or digitally for free with an account through the Terrebonne Parish Library System.
