The cat also references a short story by Neil Gaiman, about a man who lives in the countryside with his cat, but he often finds it scratched and bruised in the morning. He decides to stay up and see what is attacking it during the night, only to see a demon failing to get inside thanks to the cat valiantly guarding the house.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the corridor to the other world. In the movie it's a color changing tunnel that changes to a dusty hole full of cobwebs. But in the book it's a dark and windy hallway that has something in it that's constantly behind Coraline following her, she even describes as something that is much older than whatever the other mother is. And at the end when she's trying to escape, she puts her hand on the wall and it feels like a warm wet shag carpet like she just put her hand in somethings mouth.

I personally prefer the book's version of the Other Mother over the film's version because I think she's more complex in the book. This is because the book's version collects children, loves them possessively, takes their souls so they can't leave her, and cares for them until they pass away but still wants to feel their happiness and joy afterwards. There is also the implication that the book's version murdered her own mother despite being a possessive mother figure and perhaps its an exploration on the theme of toxic parenting. However, I do like that the film's version of the Other Mother is called "the beldam", which is a Middle English word meaning "grandmother", "ugly old woman", "hag", or "witch", and also used to refer to creatures of fairy in some folktales. Overall, I do love the film more than the book because I personally prefer the film's themes, motifs, and pacing over the book; but I'm also biased because I love film/cinematic mediums over literary mediums.

I would personally love a What's The Difference on Color Out Of Space, due to how much it modifies and expands on such a short story. The film is like a thematic adaptation more than anything due to just how much it adds, and even then it steers clear of Lovecraft's more unsavory themes in favor of a more focused cosmic horror narrative. Annihilation would also be cool to see but I haven't read the book or the other parts of the Southern Reach Trilogy, so I don't have a personal opinion there besides absolutely adoring the movie.

I grew up on the novella and while I love the movie, the book was so damn chilling. The singing rats, the cellar attack, the creepy illustrations... All horrifying to read when you're in elementary school lol. The big thing I dislike in the adaptation (though I still love the movie) is that Wybie saves her at the end, which kind of takes away from the wonderful growth that she has as a character.

A small nitpick is that in the book while a specific detail is not given its set in English county side, with the father going to London at one point.

The book is infinitely better because of budget involved, there were things they simply couldn't do (or do well) given the costs (the beast of London is a prime example) It was also shot (if i remember correctly) on videotape, not traditional film stock, so it looks like a high budget episode of Dr Who (before Ecclesten/reboot).

Another difference that makes the book a little more scary is how organic a lot of things are. The lumpy other father was mentioned but the other mother actually breaks off her hand. There was even references to this earlier when she made a deal with Coraline. The fact that the other mother's hand is an actual hand just makes the book that creepier.

I have Neil Gaiman's book (somewhere) AND Clive Barker's "The Thief of Always" ever since my adult children were children children. I bought one and was received the other as a gift, specifically as books to read to my kids. (*Disclaimer after comment, lol) While "Coraline" was just approx. 40 pages shorter than "Thief" it actually felt like a much faster read and more like a short story in comparison. While I have my favorite I won't say that here. What I will say is they were BOTH great choices and as my kids grew up they ended up reading them on their own. Now I just have to decide how to hand down 2 books to 4 adult children! I guess I'll have to give them their own copies when their kids are ready for bedtime stories! (Perfect time for that *disclaimer.) *"What? Bedtime stories or children's nightmare fuel?" I've heard this before. When my or my wife's parents saw the books in their grandchild's room. The cover of "Coraline" didn't stand out much, but my copy of "Thief" had a grin full of fangs on front cover. My wife had her way of handling her parents and I dealt with my own parents and siblings and siblings' spouses. I pointed out all the ways to censor "Mother Goose", "Grimm's fairy tales", and even a copy of "The Children's Bible" we had received as a gift for our first born. Since my parents had raised us in the Roman Catholic church and we all had endured the catechism of Confraternity of Christian Doctrine it was fairly easy to point out how ANY seemingly harmless children's stories could be censored. (whew, sorry. had to vomit that up i guess) I don't remember having to say it more than once. Anyways, back to "morbid" or "too intense" and causing nightmares. Think what you want, but my kids never had problems with that and they've turned out to be responsible, well-adjusted young adults and my oldest has made me a grandpa and intends to share his love of the dark with his wonderful child. One last thought: Any parent can talk TO their child. Building an environment where the child can approach their parent is Everything.
