Read the book first. The movie, while worthwhile watching, will influence the images in your head, making the characters look like actors who play them, no matter how excellent they are. Then watch the movie. The ending alone at the pool scene is very, very, very, masterfully done! Comical and terri...

I would say about three, four if you count letters from Johnny Truant's mother. I would say one out of three or four have a happy ending...the other two main characters are probably still lost in that expanding/contracting room. Also I find it surprising that he would not quote Stephen King, "s...

SPOILER ALERT! I posted it in another thread but it does bear for me repeating.

After begrudging the movie, I realized that it must be difficult to make a movie about a book since it only relys on sounds and sights. The third to last scene of the movie in which the horror was unleashed was masterfully done, and I should have been more open minded about that. You should all chec...

I would recommend to read it as you go along Johnny Truant's sections. Because in these, there are instructions on how to read these letters for some of them are codes for his mother's paranoia raving which are terrifying and dispirited. It really shows how haunted he is from his mother's insanity a...

I am also interested in discussing House of Leaves. I would like to know if anyone wants to do the honor of posting it on the Horror Section of Additional Fiction Read or do you want me to do it?

I changed the color of the pdf (Chapter I-III) to black so it would be easier for you to see. It is in pdf form under Microsoft. Please let me know if you could or not and if not, let me know what the message says on your computer. I also fooled around a little on the website. I think you need to cl...
