A couple Steve Alten books I like are Meg and The Loch. A Dean Koontz novel I read called Tick Tock was pretty awesome till a little past half way through if they changed it up from there out it would be pretty awesome.

    I was looking through the older threads on here and found this one. One book that I have always felt should be turned into a movie is Horror Show by Greg Kihn (yes the former 80s rocker who sang Jeopardy got into writing).

    The book reads like a horror movie, has all the elements and is even about the making of a 50s horror movie. It has an Ed Wood feel to it. Here is the discription of the book:

    When Monster Magazine reported Clint Stockbern sets out to interview the legendary fifties horror movie director Landis Woodley, he finds a reclusive, forgotten, and bitter old man. Worming his way through the door of the Scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking filmmaker's home, Stockbern finds a treasure trove of B-movie memorabilia. Playing to the movie genius's ego, Stockbern does his best to dig up a few good anecdotes from the past--but what he uncovers is a story of real-life horror!

    Flashback to 1957 Hollywood, where Landi Woodley is getting ready to shoot his latest movie, Cadaver, set in a real-life L.A. morgue. He is also bent on throwing the ultimate Halloween party. Attendee will include Lucifer-obsessed anthropologist Albert Beaumond and Devila, the celebrated TV horrow-show hostess. Even Satan himself may put in an appearance. And when cheap special effects are replaced by real corpses, a deadly curse may windup taking its toll on all these foolish enough to become involved with the filming of the cult movie classic, Cadaver.

    I'd love to see pretty much all of John Ajvide Lindqvist's books on the big screen :)

    Something by Tamara Thorne like Candle Bay or The Haunter or Moonfall.
