Listen "True Crime's Allure of Adaptation: The Devil in the White City (feat. The Menuscript)"
Episode Synopsis
originally published September 27th, 2024 on YouTubeErik Larson's The Devil in the White City is one of my favorite books and I'm so happy I got to go on my sister's podcast, The Menuscript, to talk about how I would potential adapt the book into a movie or limited series. It combines a world's fair, architecture, and America's first serial killer - so it would be quite the feat.Find The Menuscript Podcast Everywhere!Follow The Menuscript on Instagram Connect with me on all my socials HERE :)TIMESTAMPS:INTRO 00:00BOOK SYNOPSIS 02:26WHY ADAPT THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY? 04:16MOVIE, SHOW, OR LIMITED SERIES? 07:43WHAT TO KEEP, WHAT TO CUT 10:47QUOTES TO STEAL 16:18HOW GRAPHIC SHOULD TRUE CRIME BE? 23:47FANCASTING 27:17FAVORITE MOVIE SNACKS 32:04OUTRO 34:28SOURCES:https://www.newberry.org/calendar/deconstructing-the-devil-in-the-white-city https://allthatsinteresting.com/hh-holmes-hotel
