Line 6:
A book by James Herbert, [[The Film of the Book|it was adapted into a film in 1995]] staring Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale. Major plot points where changed between the novel and the film; reading the book doesn't spoil the film, vis versa. The key element is the same but the backstory is incredibly different.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Arguable but the major plot points of the story are incredibly different between the film and the novel, giving different twists and stories. For example, in the novel {{spoiler|Christina turns out to be schizophrenic and burnt down the house}} whereas in the film {{spoiler|Nanny Tess found the siblings together in their parents' bed having sex and drinking alcohol and burnt them all alive in the basement}}.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: In the novel, David is one but he was cleaned up for the film and Simon is one in both.
