Five Famous Book Monsters Drawn: EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY AUTHORS!
Many movie adaptations of famous novels change the character and creature designs, some very drastically. Here are five famous monsters or villains that I've rendered with great care toward their original descriptions in their first books. Some aren't what you might expect from the movie versions! Enjoy!
#1- The Exorcist
The Exorcist by Ira Levin features a demon named Pazuzu. In the book, we see a few glimpses of a wicked face and a horribly injured Linda Blair, but in the original novel, Pazuzu is described as a skeletal ghost with a snakelike spinal column that ends in a devil tail. His hands float separately, and his many horns are topped by a hat with a pigeon feather, much like the biblical description of the demon.
#2- Jaws
Jaws by Peter Benchley was much more of a sci-fi novel than the movie based on it. In the original story, the shark had a human-like mind and arms and legs. It was well armed and killed not with its teeth, but its two AK-47s. It is only defeated when the sheriff ties its loose shoelaces together.
#3- The Lord of the Rings
Sauron is described by J.J.R. Tolkien not as the fiery eyeball or armored mammoth seen in Peter Jackson's movies, but rather as a beautiful long haired man in a white robe with chubby cheeks and enormous, pendulous bosoms. Over 30 pages are spent describing the Mounds of Doom, or in Elvish "Orodroobies" and in Sindarin, "Amon Amammaries."
#4- Frankenstein
Mary Shelly's masterpiece is considered the dawn of sci-fi and horror alike, but it's iconic monster looked nothing like Boris Karloff in the text. Rather it was a tentacled half-octopus, half-man, half-dragon that caused madness in anyone who saw it emerge from its home, the lost island of R'lyeh. Note that the name "Frankenstein" is not that of the monster itself, but is the closest a human can come to pronouncing its true name, as recorded by Igor Alhazrad.
#5- The Lorax
It's hard to guess what Roald Dahl pictured just from the descriptions in his novel, but the title monster from his 15-Volume Norwegian language epic "The Lorax" is nothing like you may have seen in the popular CGI erotic film. In the novel, it has orange hair and big eyebrows but is more like a spectral demon with crystal eyes and jagged fangs that bounds through the Norwegian desert on its two massive feet, each of which has one claw. A similar fate met Agent Smith from his novel "The Matrix" who was a big green robot in the book, but is clearly a Hugo Weaving in the movies.

I genuinely want them to go to Hawaii. So they can see the tent cities on the beaches, the upside down Hawaiian flags, the people just sleeping on the sidewalks, and then see the fucking multimillion dollar homes in the other locations. When I was on Oʻahu the lady at the hotel made us promise we wouldn't go to the west side of the island because of the crime.
Also when I was in New York I literally spent the last day in the airport because I couldn't stand seeing the starving people that the New Yorkers just walked past. Like literally starving, could see their vertebrae when they were sitting. It made me want to throw up.

Most insurance companies do cover chiropractic to some degree. Including Medicare. Plus you can check ChirohealthUSA and see if there is a doctor near you that's enrolled(it's like GoodRX but for chiropractors and allows them to discount their fees for you legally if your insurance doesn't cover them or you have no insurance. It's $50/year).
There’s a reason why drugs are pushed as the be all “cure” for chronic diseases and illnesses. Medical schools, hospitals, doctors, insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry are all in bed together. The more patients a doctor sees a day and the more drugs a doctor prescribes you, the more money they make. The more drugs you take the more money insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies make. The more they make, the more funding medical schools receive and the cycle repeats. Imagine if you were able to sit down with a doctor for more than 30 minutes, who genuinely cared about your well being and listened to you instead of writing you up a prescription for a disease that can be cured by lifestyle and dietary changes. Imagine that instead of just being covered for acute illnesses and surgeries, insurance companies covered chiropractor visits, health coaches, dietitians and fitness trainers. Imagine if instead of learning that medicine is one way fits all, students learned a holistic approach and that every body is different and drugs usually aren’t the answer for a deeper health issue. Imagine if people took accountability for their health and weren’t fed propaganda from the sugar industry.
These things can change but people have to start taking accountability for their own health and their own body. The resources to learn are out there. Eating healthy isn’t expensive. You don’t need a gym to workout. You don’t need supplements to feel good. Our country is suffering and will continue to suffer the longer we neglect the personal responsibility of taking care of our bodies.
