The Original Animal House

[g41965]

I read The Original Animal House by Chris Miller (the main author of the Animal House Screenplay) an absolute scream, if the AD's antics had taken place today the house would be closed forever and I do mean forever its much worse/ funnier than the movie, I literally booted when I read the book. Best part, hell night- the seven fires- hypothermia,booting, threats of sodomy you name these guys did it, Winter Carnival and Green Key weekend's just a great book.

Sorry, have not clue waht you are talking about?

Never seen that in any "Animal House" and I have the original CD!

Must have been a different one?

Tom,
I think he is talking about an article that appeared in Esquire several years ago that was written by one of the screenwriters for the film. The movie was derived from this guys experiences and further developed by several other contributers.

G41965,
Is that the article you were talking about? I read it some time back and it was pretty obvious that it was the inspiration for the movie. Where did you find it?

I also would be interested to know where this reference came from since it it was not intirely so new but some many years ago.

I think he's talking about this book: The Real Animal House, by Chris Miller (movie's screenwriter). It came out a few months ago.

I know this isn't Esquire, but is this it?

By chance, would any of the antics written about have taken place at 321 Columbia Terrace?
