That cave story

[pontifex]

you guys remember that cave story where the guys go into this cave and weird stuff happens? several people said that new movie The Descent, was pretty much a rip off of it.

Well, I think I may have found the original story or maybe one that pre-dates all these other ones.

The one I found is called The Valley of the Lost. It was written by Robert E. Howard back around the 1920s or 30s. I read it yesterday. Its not the exact same story but i could see this being where or how they got the idea.

you people need to stop believing what everyone is saying and dig into it yourself.... The Cave is actually a ripoff of The Descent. How can I say that? Um, by the fact that The Descent was released first in Europe, and about a month later The Cave came out.
and meanwhile, while the premise is similar, I have many great opinions regarding The Descent, versus we all know the badness that was The Cave.

Nobody is talking about the movie The Cave.

He's not talking about a movie. He's talking about a "famous" story that circulated the internet years back. Hence the title of the thread being 'that cave story' NOT that cave movie.

 

[saxophonoia]

that's actually the first thing I thought of when I saw the previews for this movie

Cave story. Welcome to the internet.

Oh and pontifex, you're not the only one who noticed similarities.

Whenever I read Ted's cave story I think of that book Through the Hidden Door. Did anyone read that in grade school?

actually, someone did post an ending to the story. had soemthing to do with a ghost and some black creature or something.

 

[krunchykrome]

Yea, I was dissapointed by that cave story. I read pages and pages on nonsense only to discover that nothing happens.

That's pretty lame. Better left alone I'd imagine.

the guys found a book by a tree with a skeleton. the book was like a diary or something and it told how the dead guy was a protector of the cave because something evil was inside it. the ghost banished the creature back ino the cave and disappeared.
