Prophecy the book.

[Ethan Williamson]

I'm asking in regards to a coment left on the review for Prophecy. A person said there was a book that was based on the movie or vice-versa the book, does anybody know where I can locate this book, if it exists.

[Brother Ragnarok]

Depends, are you talking about the Christopher Walken fallen angel movie or the killer mutant bear movie?

[Ethan Williamson]

The crappy mutant bear tearing people to shreds, I've read "The Prophecy" but I'm looking to see if there is a book about the movie or a movie about the book, I'm looking for Prophecy the book.

[Brother Ragnarok]

The mutant bear movie came first.  Then there was an adaptation mutant bear book.

[Ethan Williamson]

What was it called?

[Brother Ragnarok]

Both the movie and the book are simply called "Prophecy."  It's no different than the hundreds of other movie adaptation novels out there.  Just a product tie-in.

Is the book still in print?
I love Prophecy, childhood fave...

I found a copy in a used bookstore in a small town in southern Minnesota, along with the adaptation novel of "Re-Animator," which reinstates the subplots of Herbert's addiction to the reagent and Dr. Hill's mind control abilities.

Unfortunatley both copies on Ebay are British auctions...Damn!

[Ethan Williamson]

Damnit it all! Is there a way for me to at least view the two copies? Oh, and thank you Brother Ragnarok for your help.

[Brother Ragnarok]

You're most welcome, good sir.  I would suggest trying the used &out of print books sections of both Amazon.com and the Barnes & Noble website.  I've used them many times and found a lot of good stuff there.

I just can't imagine words doing justice to the image of a boy in a yellow sleeping bag jumping about, looking like a giant banana, until he is swatted in a big poof of feathers.

Giggled uncontrollably the first time I saw that.

I went and saw Prophecy at the movies when it came out. It was really scary. I especially remember when the bear decapitated the injured fellow that was helpless tied up on the vehicle. The part about the bear following them under water was unnerving as well. Great flick.

[Brother Ragnarok]

As much as everyone indicts this movie for being goofy, I must agree with Ellie.  Somehow, even though many of the effects are obviously fake, the movie has an atmospheric creeping sense of dread that just won't go away, even after the movie is over and the TV is turned off.  I love the hell out of this movie.
