Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

I generally avoid thrillers & chillers, but this book came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. It scores way high on the creepy scale for me, though I did actually enjoy it. In this article from examiner.com, I discovered that there will be a movie released in July of 2015. Tim Burton is a perfect fit as director. This is a twisted and slightly horrifying tale and seems to suit him. What are some of your favorite books turned into movies?
