Hi, Janet - I'm a big Floyd fan too and Love Actually is a very warm a fuzzy film with a brilliant music score.

Hi, Kat. I'm an NUFC supporter...yeah nothing much to shout about there!!!

Hi, Kell or should I say your maaaaam!

Nice to get to know more about you, Michelle

As someone who utterly loves the book - the simplicity of it and also at the time an utterly unique take on the vampire genre, I found the new version of the film to be lacking a little. I was disappointed that they changed so much of the story, but having said that I thought Will Smith was excellent as Robert Neville - his desperately lonely portrayal of a man slipping towards madness was a career best I think. As well as The Omega Man, the first adaption of the book was Vincent Price's The Last Man on Earth - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058700/. For me, that remains the most faithful adaption. As has already been said, Heston's Omega Man was a little laughable and again very different from the book. Will Smith's was more a remake of Omega Man than a faithful adaption of the book.

Fantastic! We'll have loads to talk about! I've yet to get hold of a copy of Hells Angels too unfortunately. If I do find one I will happily lend it to you too. Thanks everyone for the extremely friendly welcome!

Looks like I've definitely come to the right place then! And yes, your honour, my name is Rod and I am a Geordie (and a bit of a horror too!).

Wow! Such a warm welcome from everyone! Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Nici and Burghead Lass!

I've always found it difficult to get really scared by a book, but as a kid I found early Stephen King and James Herbert quite scary - IT and the Rats trilogy were very good and also Phantoms by Dean 'R' Koontz was a particular favourite.
