setting for much of the action which
that book about oh this is something
special set in the fantasy world
appropriately named Fantasia the
neverending story is as its title states
eternal however it is limited by
people’s imagination every creature is a
piece of the dreams and homes of man

unwillingness to believe in the
fantastic and in one’s dreams you must
hurry Atreyu but nothing grows stronger
every day
though it may be our first entry the
neverending story is unique in that its
world is likely the most vast and
wonderful of all the entries that follow
well casks too much of you number 9
family of geniuses the Royal Tenenbaums
she wrote a book on the subject Wes
Anderson is attentive with every detail
of his films especially when it comes to
what the French call miss a sin and
literary material is often a big part of
the setting and surround
in his movies Raleigh and Dudley went on
a lecture tour to 11 universities in the
promotion of their new book while
there’s a veritable library of made-up
fiction and nonfiction to choose from in
the Royal Tenenbaums let alone the rest
of Anderson’s filmography our pick had
to go to this tell-all memoir by the
matriarch of the Tenenbaum clan etheline
Tenenbaum hyung being a smoker 22 years
I think you shouldn’t quit it’s no
secret that a majority of the family’s
dysfunction is derived from the
favoritism and neglect practiced by her
estranged husband royal that’s all are
you crazy
maybe but ethylenes own high
expectations for her children of which
her book is emblematic have also
contributed to their various neuroses
and contribute to this book’s
significance a gentleman in the blue
cardigan please number 8 the
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy the
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy the
extraordinary story of the Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the galaxy begins very simply
this film is based on a series of books
in which we find the fictional book for
which the entire franchise is named The
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy is an
electronic guide book that features
contributions from many field
researchers such as Ford Prefect
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy is a
wholly remarkable book it’s primarily
used as a way of explaining things about
the bizarre locales of the universe and
the people that the series protagonist
Arthur Dent encounters my head is filled
with Christians and I can assure you no
answer to any one of them has ever
brought me one iota of happiness in the
film these explanations are brought to
life in the form of creative animations
as well as voiceovers narrated by
Stephen Fry space
says the introduction to The
Hitchhiker’s Guide is big really big in
a world where things like space travel
can result in you becoming a sofa a
little explanation especially when it’s
entertaining goes a long way
food yes I think I’m a sofa I know how
you feel
number seven Isle of naboombu Bedknobs
and Broomsticks the Isle of naboombu
does not exist oh gosh to the Isle of
naboombu is a children’s story which
sets up the memorable middle portion of
this musical fantasy that brings
together live-action and animation found
by Paul in Professor emelius Browne
house it details the existence of the
mysterious titular island that Miss
price brown Hall and his siblings travel
to while in search of the medallion that
supposedly inscribed with a spell but
this isn’t any ordinary children’s book
as it appears to be prophetic and
depicts events that happen to the group
you got the words for these spells out
of some old book using Club Arliss I I
changed the round of it it also contains
the spell they were looking for all
along which suggests that it may have
some magic of its own I still haven’t
mastered that spell number 6 mister
babadook the babadook
his name is mr. Baba Dook and this is
his book the only pop-up book on our
list this mysterious children’s story
introduces us to the title monster the
babadook and sets the stage for the
psychological horror film insisted on
talking to this bloody babadook thing
all day just talking to the air and
freaked me out like several of our other
entries this book is alive but not
exactly in the same way as the rest
the pop-up monster torments anyone who
becomes aware of its existence grow
stronger the more someone tries to deny
it’s real and is capable of possession
making for a surprisingly scary and
inventive horror creature critics have
also claimed that the babadook is
representative of grief since the
protagonist a widowed mother
shuns reminders of her husband’s death
which adds to the book’s complexity as a
symbol in the film
ah number five the misery series misery
you’re just another lying old dirty
birdie fiction of all kinds can elicit
fanaticism misery a film based on the
book of the same name by Stephen King is
one such example she can’t be dead
misery Chastain cannot be dead in both
the book and the movie Paul Sheldon is
the writer of a series of romance novels
starring a character named misery
Chastain Annie Wilkes is his deranged
number-one fan that ends up rescuing him
from a car wreck my name is Annie Wilkes
yes that’s right I’m also a nurse using
her power over him in his injured state
she forces the novelist to write a
return for misery whom Hall killed in
his latest novel you’re gonna write a
new novel your greatest achievement ever
miseries return Kathy Bates
oscar-winning depiction of Annie’s
obsession has ensured that the misery
series will remain a cautionary example
of fandom gone too far I’ll take good
care I’m my number one fan number four
the philosophy of time travel Donnie
Darko
Roberta sparrow written by ex teacher
Roberta Sparrow who during the timeline
of the film is an apparently doddering
old crone the philosophy of time travel
is a book detailing surprise surprise
time travel which is integral to donnie
darko Splott and there’s their chapters
in that book that describe the stuff
I’ve been seeing you can’t just be a
coincidence after reading the book
Donnie comes to understand why so many
strange things are happening to him
which allows him to eventually accept
his fatal destiny however very little of
the book’s contents are actually
revealed to the audience in the
theatrical cut but the director’s cut
which came out three years after the
movie’s release contains excerpts of the
philosophy and science heavy text and
makes the supernatural psychological
drama significantly easier to understand
I’ve reached in your pocket there’s so
many things and we need to ask you
number three
handbook for the recently deceased
Beetlejuice handbook for the recently
diseased deceased this guide for spirits
ghosts and other beings new to the
afterlife appears upon Barbara and Adam
Maitland’s return to their former home
which they’re now destined to haunt
following their deaths however the book
is not exactly user-friendly as the
maitland soon discover this book reads
like stereo instructions listen to this
many of the couple’s struggles in the
film are due to the book’s impenetrable
instructions and the generally
problematic bureaucracy of the afterlife
this book is so stupid I can’t
understand anything and however the
denseness of its pages becomes the least
of the maintenance problems when an
unfortunate living person attempts to
materialize them using directions found
in the book the unintended side effect
of which is the rotting of their
spiritual forms as fate would have it
their only hope becomes the manic
charlatan that gives the film its name
okay have you been studying the manual
well we tried the intermediate interface
chapter on haunting says it all number
two Grey’s sports Almanac complete
sports statistics 1950 to 2000 Back to
the Future Part 2 Ray’s sports
Almanac an almanac seems like an odd
thing to drive a film’s plot but drive
it this one does and not always on roads
roads we’re going we don’t need roads
the sports Almanac in question contains
sports statistics and scores from 1950
through 2000 which in one timeline
allows the McFly family’s nemesis v
Tannen to become a gambling kingpin who
turns their town into a dystopian
hellhole though we were tempted to
include a match made in space the cheesy
sci-fi novel written by Marty’s dad that
book was more a result of the film’s
plot rather than the object around which
it revolves he says this book will tell
me the outcome of every sporting event
till the end of the century by contrast
it’s only by destroying the Almanac that
Marty and Doc are able to set things
right
which demonstrates its importance in
part two before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
chapter one you can call me fingerling
it’s not my real name it came from a
book I read as a child in time the
brothers reached a river too treacherous
to pass but being landed in the magical
arts the three brothers simply waved
their wands and made a bridge dragon
classifications strike glass fear glass
mystery class thunderdrum this reclusive
dragon inhabits sea caves and dark tide
pools number one
Necronomicon x mortis the Evil Dead
franchise oh yeah for goodness pound in
human skin and inked in human blood
this grimoire or book of magic is the
source from which much of the titular
evil dead of this franchise originates
and is likely inspired by the similarly
named fictional book invented by HP
Lovecraft it deals with demons demon
resurrection and those forces which roam
the forest reciting from the book of the
Dead usually results in terrors being
unleashed upon the unsuspecting reader
or even anyone listening to a recording
of someone reading it with the face like
impressions on its cover you could
safely say that the Necronomicon ex
mortis also known as the notch Aram
D’Amato has a bit more personality than
most of the entries on our list given
that it’s the catalyst for nearly every
event in the Evil Dead universe as well
as one of modern cult horrors most
notorious antagonists then it should
come as no surprise that it’s also our
number one pick groovy do you agree with
our list
yeah what’s your favorite fictional book
from film this thing rings like stereo
