They are making Coraline into a movie. Same director as James and the Giant Peach. I can tell from the preview that they are tweaking the storyline. It also seems dark-cute rather than just dark. The book is really short (~200 pages). Go to the bookstore now, buy a copy and read it before you watch trailers for the movie or even visit this website:

...otherwise you won't be able to appreciate the book as the cute-ness, or whatever "message" the movie forces on you will get in the way of a really creepy, good story.
