Movies: Field of Dreams (1989)

Books Bonus: Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella (1982)

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

So I finished the Fright Night novelisation a little while ago and I’ve moved on to Fright night origins. A novel just recently put out by Tom Holland (the director) and another writer. I was definitely excited to pick it up considering it comes from the man who did the movie.

It’s pretty good so far. It is largely the plot of the movie but with a lot of added information. What’s interesting is that Jerry and Billy are both more interesting and better written then Charley and co. We get a lot of backstory and lore which I’m eating up but at the same time Charley, evil and Amy are actually getting less then the novelisation gave them? I like how it reveals Amy is a Duran Duran freak but it also has greatly removed a lot of stuff with Evil. Like how they’d also affectionally call him Eddie when serious or soft.

However some parts of this feel like Tom just wanted to write a crime novel? We keep getting drawn out of the main story to the police finding the bodies and going over the case. While interesting on the surface all it does is take up space and repeat what we JUST SAW happen.

It’s also VERY clear that this was written recently , as in not during the 80s. By this I mean that there is a lot of name dropping, explaining and sort of surface level set dressing? Like *throws up names of stuff like blockbuster and the most generic 80s horror or big films*. It may not be known to someone who’s not obsessed with the time period like my but the first blockbuster opened in 1985- the same year as the fucking movie. It just feels weird? Like it’ll be a normal paragraph and just namedrop “hey this thing existed in the 80s!!” Or stop to explain coin arcades and neon lights. It’s giving me the vibes of a 13 year old looking up 80s stuff for a Au fic and not someone who was very much alive and making movies during this time. This is a nitpick- but I can’t be the only one who feels this?

12/13/23: Wednesday fleamarket stuff! Two sellers and their items caught my eye this morning. First place, I got three ps1 controllers, a ps4 game, a Coleco game, two books from the 80s and a more recent graphic novel. I may have overpaid a bit at $30 dollars, but I can't win all the time. I've bought from this guy before, and I've paid way less. Next lot of things was books and movies. Here I paid $20 for everything. This is the same fellow who had Dr. Who stuff last week. And now I found more. Dvds, a comic and a character guide. I also got a few comics and books too. Sliders on DVD and some Stephen King novels. These seem to be first prints. They certainly smell have that old book smell. And lastly some manga. One in Japanese of Astroboy and a more recent one too.

stephen king and stranger things

this might be a reach, but we know stranger things loves stephen king references

but anyways, i think chrissy's name is a reference as well.

so the book christine (and movie in the same year) came out in 1983. in this book, the main character is named arnie cunningham.

so... christine cunningham... chrissy cunningham

again, another reach, but christine curses arnie, causing his unwitting transition into antagonist and ruins his life and relationships, eventually leading to murder and his eventual death.

so, her name could also be a bit of on the nose foreshadowing for the way that chrissy's death curses eddie's fate, sending him on the run for supposed murder, and his eventual death.

also highly recommend the book, it's one of his less known stories but one of my personal favorites, and is supposed to be getting a blumhouse remake soon!

Stanger with My Face was more or less exactly what I expected from Lois Duncan. I really appreciate the way that she writes characters. All but one of the characters felt really well-developed. The story itself was a slow burn. There was a really creepy concept at the core of this book. All of these are things I typically love, but I still found myself struggling with this one at times. I was never bored or disengaged, but the slow pacing did become tedious after awhile. I should point out that this book is notably longer than your typical Fear Street or Point Horror. The small print at 240 pages would probably run close to 400 if printed like a typical YA book today. So when you take that into consideration alongside the pacing, you can see how someone who is used to breezing through these books might get a bit frustrated. Then there was the one character I took issue with, whom I will refrain from naming due to spoilers. This character had the unfortunate effect of making the main character seem more naive and oblivious than was necessary for the plot. It also made it way too easy for me to figure out what was really going on. I may not have guessed the specifics, but I accurately called a certain villain’s true motives very early on. Having a main character that doesn’t even have suspicions about the obvious was almost enough to take me out of the story. What kept me in was Lois Duncan’s attention to detail, the richness of the minor characters, and the excellent use of the setting to create isolation. Isolation is the key to great horror and she really nails that one. Overall, I liked it more than I didn’t. Even with all of the issues I had, Stranger with My Face was a solid read. Score: 3.5 For my snark-filled, spoiler-laced, deep-dive review; check out my blog: https://www.danstalter.com/stranger-with-my-face/
