Original story is lost

Spends a lot of time trying to make it modern. The original story is mostly lost. Not enough scary too much teen drama. The original story is mostly lost. The addition of subtly not subtly "trendy" redirect in an attempt to appeal to a mature audience falls flat. This episode scared me the most as a child but the convoluted story makes little sense. References to real-world things are not accurate. Most of the story feels like filler and is monotonous. The narrative tries too hard to prey on teen anxieties. I have no idea how R. L. Stone signed off on this garbage. Makes the 90s TV series shine as gold in comparison. This is a poor start to a beloved book and TV series.
