10 more days

[yendi]

With ten days left until Halloween, the official countdown can begin. TV channels will finally start showing horror-themed content, more horror movies will get aired than in any other ten days during the year, and, if we're really lucky, there will be a very special episode of Everybody Love Raymond in which the entire cast gets dismembered.

Okay, two out of three ain't bad.

The point is, for horror fans, this is like the Twelve Days of Christmas, only with more beheadings.

So I figure I'll ramble about horror flicks a little bit each day.

Today's topic: The worst post-Hammer film adaptation of a good horror novel.

And if your answer isn't Relic, justify it.

Seriously, I can't remember any adaptation (including Vampire$) that I anticipated so much, and which sucked so badly on the screen. The book was damned good, bordering on great, and the movie was an almost deliberately bad piece of shit.

I used to like Married with Children in small doses. I find ELR more hateful for some reason, maybe because they at least purport to be a normal family - no one could accuse the Bundys of that.
