I've been exposed to this story for as long as I can remember. As a small child, I watched the Jeremy Brett TV version on PBS. Later, I read one of the graphic novel adaptations that I got from my local library. As a teenager, I read all the Holmes stories in their original prose, including Hound. Just a couple of years ago, I watched the 1939 Universal Studios adaptaion with Basil Rathbone (and comedic genius Nigel Bruce). I'm currently exactly halfway through the 1959 Hammer Films production, with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and I can't for the life of me remember who the killer was. Maybe it doesn't matter? If you asked me what The Hound of the Baskervilles was about, I would tell you it was one of the most atmospheric detective stories of all time, and I'm always up for it. But I'm starting to think the conclusion might be arbitrary? So I'm putting this one to Caltrops: am I just a forgetful retard, or does it not matter in the slightest who was trying to kill whom in The Hound of the Baskervilles? |
