Oh my god, it is TODAY?! I should do something.... like take out my copy of the novel and read it!!

Never saw the film adaptation but the story itself is meant to be freaky xD And that's why I fell in love with it. It really inspired a lot of my poetry, which had a dark morbid beginning (still does, but I try to be less cynical nowadays :x), as well as my fledgling short stories/novellas.
