Source Material
Hi people, Been guided here by a very kind (and unbelievably patient member),
Would be interested if anybody could guide me to the source (ie books, folk tales etc) of their favourite Horror movies.
Have read quite a bit-Poe, Angela Carter, Lovecraft, Barker, King, Herbert, Milton, Dante and Goeth. Also Read various Mythologies from Greece, Rome, Celtic and Egyptian Sources. Going to read Gogol next, but would be interested to find new (or ancient) stuff.
My favourite Source material and Film are Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and its adaptation as The company of Wolves
Also Loved Valerie and her Week of Wonders and Kafka's Metamorphosis (The Fly)
Thanks for reading this and look forward to some interesting reccomendations.
And thanks NE-think I have done it right this time :D
