Tim Sell n'a travaillé que sur quatre LDVELH. C'est dommage, son style était plutôt... mordant.

If you really thought about it, you could turn it into a visually stylish and impressive film.
I think a director like Guillermo del Toro could pull off the feat of bringing The House of Hell to the big screen. It would be amazing! 😀

Which gamebook would you like to see brought to the big screen? 📕 🎬
I'd choose The House of Hell 🪦 👻
But I'd certainly be very scared... 😅

Finished #HouseOfHell. Oufff... the insane layout of the corridors, landings and rooms may be excused by the theme. What I didn't see back in the 80s, but what was glaringly obvious this time around was all the padding. How many sections are wasted on the torture chamber or the kitchen? Enter either and you're already dead. It is finally too picky with respect to finding the one true path. Too many absurd deaths. Nevertheless, a nice trip down memory lane.
#HouseOfHell is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it has very nice (even if clichéd) moments of slow, psychological horror. On the other hand, it has zombies in a kitchen, a vampire sitting in an armchair, skeletons in the closet... i.e. a lot of fairground haunted house shocks which honestly feel out of place. Isn't this the story of a satanic cult wanting to sacrifice a woman? Why do they have zombies roaming around?
Now doing #HouseOfHell (#HouseOfHades in the US, as "Hades" is obviously not as bad as "Hell"). Like the previous one, it is an extended version of a previously published mini adventure. I have very fond memories of this one on the grounds of being set in our real world and moving away from cliché fantasy tropes.
