The Keep (1983) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - December 15, 1983

I read The Keep while living in Hong Kong and, if the ever questionable timeline of how I remember things is at all accurate, it was after I had read about the film adaptation in the pages of Fangoria. Maybe. The book had been out for quite some time, as I recall, and The Tomb had also been published by this time. Perhaps even The Touch. I don't really know. I was living life and not taking notes. Ah, if only I had journaled (and thought to keep said journals), the fact checking I could be doing right now.

The film adaptation had come and gone by the time I watched it on home video. Although I was a tremendous fan of Michael Mann's Thief, the alterations and liberties he had taken with The Keep irked me to no end. I think I am just going to stick with F. Paul Wilson's source novel.
