Please excuse me if this topic is posted in the wrong place.

My question: I've seen the film at least 20 times. I have not read the book. Is "Indrid Cold" in the book? Also, and this is a bit of a stretch, I could swear that I hear Gordon (the character in the film) say that he saw "Indread Cold" and not "Indrid Cold." Do you see the difference? Do you understand my question? There's an immense amount of literary and cultural potential (as in layers of meaning) between the entity being called Indrid or Indread. I've posted this same query on www.imdb.com without getting a concrete answer. Most of the responses point to the legend ("the locals have always called it Indrid Cold"--which doesn't address my question) and not the book. If someone out there (in here) can clue me in on Indrid/Indread, I'd appreciate it a lot.

I have read the book..........somehow i dont remeber if the name was in there @ all..let me check and ill repost late-

Hi.

The name Indrid Cold appears throughout the book. And if as you say you haven’t read it, I strongly suggest you do. To put it into context. If you have a bath full of water, and take a teaspoon of that water out, that’s the film... the book is a whole bath tub full of information, that isn't in the film.

Thank you. Very much.

Isn't that what happens with every book that gets made into a movie?

whats indrid cold?

So very, very true my friend!
