5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Movie, by FAR, April 28, 2011

This review is from: Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (Paperback)

I loved the movie, but the book just impressed me so much more! Not only from going a bit more in depth with characters, but the slight story change that helped one to see it not so much as a horror story but more as the great tale it is! Demon Knight is totally underrated.

This review is from: Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (Paperback)

While I loved the casting of the movie that they made out of this book... the movie was horrible. I read this book when I was much younger and LOVED it.

So, just in case someone wants to pass this over because they saw the movie and it was just not good for them... try the book instead. You don't have to suffer through the horrible effects and some things are explained better. It hardly ever fails that the book is better than the movie... and this is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (Paperback)

This is the way horror novelizations were meant to be written!

A group of people are locked in a run-down inn, trying to keep themselves alive as wave after wave of demons attack and a mysterious salesman offers them temptations beyond immagination.

The characters, though completely different than those of the film (the book was probably written off an earlier draft of the script), are hilarious. The Salesman is the best of them all.

I personally think this book is the best TALES FROM THE CRYPT thing (couldn't think of a better word) of all.

Buy the book. You'll be laughing so hard you won't even realize you're still reading into the late hours of the night.
