- That book might be something interesting to pick up. According to one of the
- workers at the bookstores that I was perusing said book at, they re-edited the
- movie after previewing it in LA. Apparently, the audience laughed through the
- ENTIRE movie. Since this is supposedly a horror movie, they decided to fix some
- of the humor. I looked through the book after I saw the movie and saw several
- shots and scenes that I don't recall happening in the movie. Personally, I
- wouldn't mind getting a copy of the book just because I thought the costumes and
- the set designs were incredible (even though the movie isn't what I expected.)
