Mummies have always fascinated me since watching the 1932 version of THE MUMMY on late night TV.
Exotic locale. Ancient magic invading the present. Love. Death. Courage.
And not everything was what it appeared or sounded.
- Dracula by Bram Stoker
My guilty pleasure is 1999's THE MUMMY.
Guilty from how many times
I have re-watched parts of it!
Another guilty pleasure is Hildago
The Old West in turn of the century Egypt:
Sandra, my best friend, says I write movies not books.
Better than movies since there are no sticky floors or irritating cell phone addicts with their bright white screens in the dark theater.
Don't you hate those guys?
So I wrote the movie I wanted to see:
An Old West hero in 1895 Egypt contesting with undying evil
Take a look at its book page will you?
Do you have a supernatural
or any other genre movie
you find fun enough to re-watch?
Death In The House of Life is one of my favorite books. Since I'm not into the supernatural, I would have to say, make a movie of it and it will be my favorite, for sure. One thing about your writing, it unfold like a movie. I don't think you need a whole lot of imagination to picture the Egyptian desert, the hotel, the marvelous characters in their late nineteenth century dress, and so on.
ReplyDeleteI wrote its sequel, THE STARS BLEED AT MIDNIGHT (which will also soon be out in paperback), just for you and D.G. So happy to see you here again. Today has drained me for some reason. :-)
DeleteFor fun, over the top horror, I can watch Deep Rising anytime.
ReplyDeleteTo see our books as movies...
I just bought that in DVD to watch for Halloween! We seem to share some of the same tastes! :-)
