#HAUNTED CHUCK PALAHNIUK COVER MOVIE#
While Rant, Lullaby, Invisible Monsters, and others remain in development purgatory, it may be time to consider shifting focus towards adapting Haunted into a horror movie as both the social and political commentary of its contents perfectly coincide with the current zeitgeist of the horror genre. Nearly every novel in Palahniuk's repertoire has had their film rights purchased by production companies, but Fight Club and Choke remain the only two to ever see the light of day. Just like Lullaby, Rant's fate remains unknown. Even further back than that, James Franco announced his intent on assisting in the adaptation of Rant in 2014. In fact, Palahniuk even doubts that it'll ever be made. Over the years, two of Palahniuk's books have been adapted into movies: Fight Club and Choke. In May of 2016, a fundraising campaign launched in order to garner enough money to adapt Lullaby, but there has yet to be word on whether or not it will actually happen. In comparison to all of his other works in the genre, here's why it would make the best horror movie. The author's 2005 novel Haunted is one of the most captivating as well as enthralling stories he has ever crafted. Writer Chuck Palahniuk is perhaps most-often recognized for Fight Clubmore than he is for his works of horror, but one in particular is long overdue for the recognition and adaptation it deserves.
