Fair enough but it's nothing like the actual movie because i've seen the Poirot episode a couple of times including last October and it's really not the same as the new film other than the use of character names. The Christie novel is set in an English country house for a start and it's a party not a seance with no hint of the supernatural whatsoever.

I'd have bought the novel had Christie written A Haunting in Venice but wasn't bothered about buying a novel of Halloween Party.

It makes sense now why Waterstones had loads of copies of Halloween Party on display when I was browsing this weekend. I honestly thought it was just because October soon haha.
