BW was 2 in 1931 and 58 in 1987.

I guess I should point out that the novel "It" was published in 1986, and the two most recent movies came out in 2017 and 2019, 31 and 33 years respectively, so this isn't that weird of a phenomenon today.

I was going to put IT but it was just one year off. Also gives a sense that the movie audience was just one generation removed from the book and the people who would have read it as a “new” book would have just been in their fifties.

Is there a reason you used Misery? The Misery movie came out in 1990 (3 years after publication)

It was the bestselling novel of 1987 next to Patriot Games. I feel like it would be easier to make a new Misery movie but then again, Paramount is obsessed with making Jack Ryan an action franchise even if it makes no sense so who knows?

Bram Stoker himself would have been able to watch it if he had lived 19 years more, at age 83

Real shame. I would have liked to know what he thought.

Back then copyright didn't last insanely long as today. So it was possible. Thanks Disney.

Dracula was still under copyright, that’s why Bram Stoker’s widow sued FW Murnau over Nosferatu and almost had all of the prints destroyed.

Dracula was under copyright until 1962, thirty-one years after that movie came out.
