Odd that you should mention that. As I was reading Fright and
thinking about Woolrich's environment -- especially the 1915
of New York City -- and how badly
-- in my opinion -- his stories have been translated to film,
I was thinking that animation would be the perfect vehicle
for his work. His descriptions and sense of dread and that
odd off-kilter world would be perfect for animation. Not
cartoons, but real graphic animation.
