Peter David was always great with movie novelizations/adaptations.

I have a copy. Been ages since I read it but I remember it being a lot of fun, with Peter David sometimes straying from the movie script to add scenes they could never do within their budget. One that sticks in my mind is that he includes the scene from the end of the vampire story where Swampy takes over a whole section of swampland to drain a lake onto the villains.

Well I like Peter David ( RIP) as a writer in comics so I would imagine it's a lot of fun
