The books are ALWAYS better than the movies...That's the reason King remade The Shining and Carrie...to try to get closer to the books...If "IT" was remade to be closer to the book...People would freak the hell out

Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Sam Raimi, Fritz Lang, FW Murnau, William Friedkin

My favorite direction in a horror film will always be Evil Dead II. Raimi is pretty damn inventive in that movie.
