I read a ton of VCA books, but I was a bit older...about 18 and just moved into myfirst apartment. I was disappointed by the last movie! I may have to check out the new one. what network is it on?

DH saw a commercial with me last night and he thought it looked "creepy" in a good way, so I'll get him to watch it with me this weekend. I didn't tell him it's pulpy trash that I loved in the 6th grade.

I read the book as a teenager and it creeped me out. I don't think I can watch the movie.

Hell, yes. I do but I don't want to re-read before watching because I'm pretty sure the writing is just awful. But my long-lost middle school self neeeeeeeeeds to watch. And my husband is out of town. I should probably find a banana clip and some jams.

I definitely thought My Sweet Audrina was the creepiest, and that's the first of the VC Andrews books I read. I found it at my grandmother's house (she had a deep and abiding love of super trashy novels) and devoured it.

I saw it years ago when I was a kid and it gave me nightmares

OP here--I reread Flowers as an adult and the writing was atrocious!

re PP- it is a new version with Ellen Burnstyn and Heather Graham on Lifetime.

Supposedly better than the other remake, according to this review.

When I set my DVR to record the new one, the old one came up too. It is apparently going to be on sometime in the next few weeks. I recorded both . But I will not reread the book, I have to draw the line somewhere!

Personally I thought my sweet audrina was the creepiest VC Andrews book. I loved all of them, although it was kind of ridiculous when the books kept coming out long after VCA died.

No. I realized as I was telling DH about the promo (loved the creepy use of Sweet Child of Mine) that I don't want to lose the version of the books from teen years and how I imagined things to be.

How weird is it that I'll happily see filmed versions of most books but can't for Flowers in the Attic?

Is this the original or a remake? Network tv? I was about 12! When I read it. I remember being creeped out every time I looked at my brother for a while after reading it.

I read all of V.C. Andrews' books in middle school. I had the biggest crush on that character who wore fluffy poet men's blouses and lurked in the garden maze. I mean, I loved the man with all the ardour my 7th grade thumping heart could muster! How cute, appalling and embarrassing at the same time.

Totally! Can't wait.

Looking forward to it! It is a "classic =)"

Are you planning to watch this weekend? I feel so creeped out every time I see the promos yet I can't look away. I can't believe I read that book as young as I did!
