4.0 out of 5 stars
Treasure trove for sci-fi buffs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Science-Fiction Classics: The Stories That Morphed Into Movies (Paperback)
I ordered this book, hoping it included EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING by Ray Nelson (basis for THEY LIVE). It does! The surprise is the other selections included, among which are the stories that inspired such films as, THIS ISLAND EARTH, THE THING , DEATH RACE 2000, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN. I especially recommend "The Alien Machine", "The Cosmic Frame", "Who Goes There?", and "The Racer". While none of these tales could be called a masterpiece of the genre, collectively they are a great read. Get this book!

This review is from: Science-Fiction Classics: The Stories That Morphed Into Movies (Paperback)
This book has the original stories from which many of my favorite sci-fi movies from my youth were made. It's interesting to see how the stories were changed for the movies. In some cases they seem like totally different stories. The movies actually improved some of them. Most are grade B movies, but entertaining nonetheless.
