Horror Novels That Became Movies

Horror has been the subject of many novels, movies, and even podcasts. However, some books you can find on Viewax have been adapted into equally impressive movies. To celebrate these magnificent adaptations, let’s take a look at some of these movies and the books that inspired them. Here are horror novels that became blockbuster movies.

The Birds by Daphne Du Maurier

One of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous movies, The Birds was based on the book of the same

name. Although the movie differs from the book in many ways, the murderous birds are still front and center.

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

The movie was a big hit when it was released, with Jobie Foster and Anthony Hopkins playing the lead roles. The book was actually the second in the series, but was used as the first time Hannibal Lecter was shown on the big screen.The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

This book which is available on Viewax was made into a hugely successful stage play before it made its way to the big screen. The movie starred Daniel Radcliffe and was well received when it was released in 2012.

The Ring by Koji Suzuki

The Ring was a movie that tried to break the usual horror genre movies of the time, and this novel had all the elements that would do just that. There are some differences from the book as it was set in Japan, with a male reporter, whereas the movie is set in the US with a female reporter.

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment – a solution for the soul

Seeking to address people’s rugged determination and arrogance that they have full control of their lives, The Power of Now is honest but very insightful. Here we look at the confirmation of self-belief in Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.

The Power of Now takes reference from a range of traditions and spiritual beliefs, combining elements of Buddhism, Christianity, Zen and mysticism to produce its own potent belief on living in the present moment. The book’s core message, if one its to be defined, is that emotional issues for people stem from their identification – or rather misidentification – with their own minds.

Tolle posits that the people who struggle with such issues should follow his advice to live always ‘in the moment’ and resist the temptation to dwell too much on the past, the future and all things that may or may not and will change. He makes a very valid point to reinforce his assertion, stating that the present is all the matters because a person’s past and future are created in their minds; they have either already happened and are mere memories, or they are simply hypothetical ideas impossible to prove.

He goes further by dismissing the supposed benefit in believing one has control over their life, stating that this is an illusion that only brings pain to the believer when they see it is not true. Tolle suggests a host of techniques and methods to help people relax, meditate and think on the path to rooting themselves in the moment as he consistently asserts.
