Reactions from the web

This doesn't look nearly as frightening and sinister as the show...

@melavzla 4949

honestly just got a whole ass recap of the first season

@ryantrash5190 1931

I remember reading the book & watching this one as a teenager. Thought the whole concept was creepy but watching the new Hulu series & how they made it so modern, makes the whole concept too creepily real.
