…and their best adaption to film, in my opinion (if given a choice):

- [The Exorcist](https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9781419888168) (please don’t remake/reboot this, universe)
- [The Silence of the Lambs](https://bookshop.org/a/6560/0027616071514) (or this one especially, don’t you dare, you remade [Manhunter](https://amzn.to/3rvIJ3X), that’s enough)

- [Bridge to Terabithia](https://bookshop.org/a/6560/0786936715781)

…and don’t forget [Scream](http://amzn.to/2s7qHJ7) (your girl’s been making it rain popcorn since 1996) and [A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984 original)](https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9780780660694) *(bound in a nutshell and made a king of infinite space)*
