ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Has a writer ever directed an adaptation of their own novel? Many writers have worked on screenplay adaptations of their books, but no one has directed them. There are some notable instances. Clive Barker is one of horror's most original voices. He adapted his 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart for the big screen, writing and directing Hellraiser (1987), whose sadistic Cenobites are some of the most frightening pictures on film. William Peter Blatty won the Best Adapted Screenplay award for his book The Exorcist in 1974, although William Friedkin produced the film. After its success, Blatty reworked his 1966 novel Twinkle, Twinkle, "Killer" Kane! The Ninth Configuration, a psychological thriller that was released in 1978, has been turned into a psychological thriller. In 1980, he produced the film of the same name.
