Thanks. My thought process was kinda all over the place with this, really. When I started writing this, I was super hyped, then as I progressed I started feeling that it was getting less and less scary, but then once I was done, I was really happy with it. I’m glad I haven’t lost my edge when it comes to shorts.
Well thank you, you did a great job yourself.
Heh, I knew it. I liked that one a lot!
Yeah man congratulations. Yep I was bump.
Can’t believe I finally won one of these contests! :O Btw, which one was yours? I’m betting it was the one with the bump, since that felt very much like your style, but who knows, you may have surprised me.
More like it would be too alienating to standard audiences which is Lovecraft's problem as his stories would require both a high budget and good marketing to get it done right and still churn out a profit.
I think a lot of sci fi authors are hard to adapt. I have yet to see an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s wow that actually captures that schizophrenic narrative style that’s a staple of his writing. The director’s cut of Blade Runner comes the closest, but something is still missing. It might be that it’s just untranslatable to film
Yes, as well as one of the sources Team Silent used for Silent Hill 2. It's a pretty good story, though I'm more familiar with the second film adaption than the book. I've heard the films have never really captured the essence of the book, largely because the filmmakers focus too much on the human drama and not the central point of the story.
Which reminds me, my wife is currently reading Solaris by Lem, which I haven’t read tet but fully intend to. I’m assuming that’s where Solaris got its name fro in Xenogears?
Well Xenogears itself is basically a love letter to sci-fi more than a mecha series proper so I'm not surprised you would follow it's example.
