This morning, Suntup Editions has announced a fine press limited edition of the 1971 novel Hell House by Richard Matheson, featuring new exclusive material including an introduction by R.C. Matheson, a foreword by Mike Flanagan and afterword by Nancy A. Collins. Readers can indulge in every aspect of the making of this foundational trio of Jurassic Park films to discover the genesis of its adaptations and earth-shattering impact on modern pop culture."-- "Inverse" For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mount Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide or insanity. But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all. For one night, they will investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House. The edition is printed letterpress on Mohawk Via Vellum paper and is signed by R.C. Matheson, Mike Flanagan and Nancy A. Collins.In his foreword, Flanagan reveals that had there been a third season of his ‘Haunting’ series for Netflix, it would have been an adaptation of Hell House! Flanagan’s foreword for the new release from Suntup Editions continues, “I don’t know that there has ever been a haunted house story as downright cinematic as Hell House. It is written by a man who thought visually, who had a flair for cinematic set pieces, audience expectations, and visceral thrills that eluded many of his literary predecessors. That is one of the reasons I Am Legend [also by Richard Matheson] resonates so deeply, and Stephen King is correct when he says: ‘Without his I Am Legend, there would have been no Night of the Living Dead.’ Without Hell House, I’d argue that there would be no Poltergeist, no The Conjuring, no Insidious.”

The author adapted his novel into a screenplay for the 1973 film, The Legend of Hell House, starring Roddy McDowall and Pamela Franklin. It is safe to say that this an exciting development for fans of the original trilogy – showing that fans of the Jurassic franchise can anticipate more products from the original films despite the focus on the more modern ‘Jurassic World’ branding in recent years. Indeed, it is exciting to see that this book will not just encompass the original 1993 film, but will also look at The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III. Jurassic Park III’s tumultuous production is well documented – so we are quite excited for the opportunity to peak behind the scenes of that film, and how we eventually got the adventure which appeared on cinema screens.That’s not to say it’s not a well researched book or in any way not attractive. The content is spot-on & refreshingly honest. So many books of a similar format portray the subject matter as perfect & James Mottram doesn’t shy away from not just the problems that the sequels encountered, but the fact the movies subsequently suffered in terms of entertainment, especially JP 3 … although I’m not sure any book could reflect quite how bad Crichton’s Lost World novel turned out & how even Spielberg would struggle to recreate movie magic like he did with the original. Jurassic World: The Ultimate Visual History delivers a comprehensive look at the making of the first hit film, as well as its thrilling sequels Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion. Through rare and never-before-seen imagery and exclusive interviews with key creatives, this deluxe volume explores the entire creative process, from the films’ stunning dinosaur designs to the epic location shoots and the creation of the films’ incredible visual effects. Fans will also discover a fascinating look at the wider world of the saga, including the Netflix animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, video games, toys, theme park attractions, and more. Because of the in-world nature of the movie, readers will encounter the artwork behind the big picture of the film’s progress along with the marketing of the park seen inside the compound, gift shop, and visitor center. And of course look forward to lots and lots of dinosaurs in varying states of development. Half of the book is devoted to the first film in the franchise, and the rest to the next two films and marketing, including posters, toys, comics, and video games for the first trilogy of the franchise.
