Title: Movie/ TV show Tie-In books
Post by: RCMerchant on February 19, 2020, 12:54:47 PM
You know- paperbacks that say on the cover- "Now a major motion picture!" or some such.
Do you have any?

I believe THE TERMINATOR is the only film with two different official novelisations.

(same covers but note the authors...)

I used to have tons of those movie paperbacks when I was a kid. Every time we got those Scholastic Books order forms at school, I'd get a few. For a while, every time I saw a movie, I'd read the novelization afterwards - Star Wars, Tron, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Black Hole, etc.

Most of them are long gone but I think I still have a paperback of the original Poltergeist floating around somewhere, I found that at a garage sale a few years ago and couldn't pass it up.
