bookcrossing | Who is your favorite paranormal television show and/or movie?

Go and check this out first: Which came first? The book or the movie/TV Series?

I really liked the Dresden Files, I think they were pretty well done and close to the books. The first season of True Blood was really, really good. I did not like the second season, the storyline just did not work for me, I thought it was silly and over the top. So I never bothered with the third season.

I did like the Twilight books, but always thought that they are a bit on the shallow side and the movies are even thinner on the content. I like my stories to be a bit meatier.

I am a fairly old fart, so my paranormal reading experience actually started with Bram Stoker and what really got me going was Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice — way back when, only a couple of years after it had been published. And to this day the movie is still one of my favourites, despite disliking Tom Cruise as Lestat a lot. Brad Pitt was great and saved the movie for me.

I think the problem with people loving the screen adaptations and not giving a toss about the books is not restricted to the Supernatural. It’s a general phenomenon. You just have to face it, avid readers are the weird ones out. People that never read unfortunately are the majority!
