I don’t remember much about the sequel other than it had Eddie Furlong, coming off of a pretty big Box Office rub of being in Terminator II. I didn’t realize Poison Heart was in the movie but its Wikipedia entry said it was “included” in the movie and Dee Dee gave it to the band in exchange for getting bailed out of jail. > **[Poison Heart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_Heart)** > > "Poison Heart" is a song by the punk rock band Ramones. Written by Dee Dee Ramone, who had retired as their longtime bassist in 1989 but still wrote songs for the band.

Do a straight adaptation with better leads and it will be unwatchable. The death of the \*\*\*\*\* in the book was devastating. Good leads will make it unwatchable. Shit…make it a mini-series to do it true horror justice. ---

I recognize the look, if only from one cat. The other two are ,respectively, too sweet and too ditzy to manage that expression. The trailer for the movie is creepy, btw.
