Why has no Dean Koontz book ever been adapted to film. Is it because of the hair?
>>

I watched a Koontz movie where Dr. Cox from scrubs kidnaps a lady and keeps her in a cellar in his cabin.
>>
>>216002184
No successful* adaptions
>>
>>216002149
Ayo Phantoms was da bomb!
Also stranger things season 3 basically stole the best part of the season from "Midnight".

Hey Kingsy, it's me!
I see you've got a lot of iconic imagery in your books!
I don't know anything about that!
Me, I take the bus!

Oh my God! I ran over Stephen King!

On the right, as soon as he got the Justin Beiber wig he was never the same.

Why the hate, did he endorse Trump or something?
>>
>>216002335
It's funny because I always thought Stranger Things S1 was very close to this.

It's so specifically on the nose to have
>two genetically engineered monsters escape from a government lab; one normal looking and kindhearted, the other a carnivorous hunched beast; but they have a mysterious psychic connection to each other
>>
>>216002149
Googled him and it’s impressive that he’s somehow managed to look like a serial killer at every point in his life despite radically changing appearance a number of times
>>
>>216003131
Similar vibe too

it's a hair system

>>216003131
stranger things doesn't have a heckin telepathic doggo though.
>>
>>216003328
It has demidogs
>>
>>216003287
His good guys are always incredibly bland and one dimensional. His bad guys are usually serial killer types and are the only characters he writes that actually feel like real people. So if he's not a killer himself, he's definitely fighting the urges.
>>
>>216003328
Eleven is functionally the dog
It was a talking dog with psychic powers anyway so that counts
>>
>>216003124
The Robot Chicken bit is actually dead on about his writing. He can't write for shit, he doesn't seem to be capable of creating striking imagery or influencing the reader into imagining it. He just sort of writes bullshit. The closest he ever got was the psychic talking dog in Watchers, but even that is just a golden retriever.
>>
>>216003409
This is not true. I read Strangers, Servants of Twilight, and Watchers on a cross country road trip. His stuff is wonderful to read when you are laying in your car at night at a deserted rest area.
>>
In an alternate-timeline, I successfully adapted Dark Rivers of the Heart in 1999. It was not only an enormous commercial success, but also won 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture.

>ever
FUCKING. LOL.

>>216002149
Wasn't odd thomas made into a movie?
Edit: yeah it was
>>
>>216003328
john dies at the end does!
anyway
>>
>>216003409
Twilight eyes was a good book and I will die on that hill.
>>
>>216004186
? It's just a silly parody show anon, no need to be upset
>>
>>216003614
Anything is great to read when you are huddled in fear in your 98 Honda civic praying some serial killer doesn't core out your bussy and make a skin suit out of you. Shit taste plebe.
>>
>>216003131
This was a movie starring Corey Haim, the sequel had the beastmaster guy. And I think there was a third one.
