as dr wu said, "Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different." he also said, " Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat."

It's extremely refreshing to see someone who loves dinosaurs and also acknowledges that Jurassic Park was NEVER intended to be realistic. It does not intend to portray dinosaurs as dinosaurs, they are made to be _monsters_.

The weird thing is that the JP movie's inaccuracies lean towards the awesomebro angle (Making the dinos into killing machines that only fight), the book's inaccuracies lean towards the dinosaurs being sci-fi horrors that are borderline alien.

The original jp book is pretty much about how science can get incredibly dangerous when massive corporate interests take over... Something we apparently didn't learn from

Another thing to note is that the Jurassic Park franchise was eventually going to have dinosaur-human hybrids, in fact some of the concept art can still be found online, and the Scorpious Rex might have been created from said concept art...

For those who wanna know Nedry was blinded by the dilophosaurus that ripped him open In his last moments, he felt pain in his chest and touched it to feel blood and his guts and organs spilling as he screamed. The dilophosaurus then ate the organs and proceeded to eat our of nedry's dead, mutilated body.

The scariest part in the novel for me is when Gennaro sees the Compy's feeding on Nedrys body and remarks about their five-fingered hands and human-like way of wiping blood from their faces, and before he can continue his thoughts he's interrupted by Muldoon. It scares me in some unfathomable way I can't describe. The book is a horror delight though.

One scene I wish was kept in or adapted for the movies was from the first book. Basically on the tour when the characters go to the raptor enclosure, the raptors try to flank them and jump over the fences or break them and get electrocuted. With one distracting Grant and the other two flanking. It was an attempted hunt/escape, and after it Ian Malcolm asks Grant if they were trying to hunt them. After Grant confirms it, Ian pointed out that he’s heard modern predators like lions and tigers aren’t born man-eaters, that they learn down the line that they’re easy prey. And so he points out that because of how much of a time difference there is between man and dinosaurs, that they’d be even more reluctant to hunt humans. It raises the question of what made the raptors realize humans are easy prey, coupled with the dying teen in the beginning of the book, it paints a horrifying picture and how Jurassic Park was doomed even before Grant and the other began the inspection.

Everyone passes off Compys as “tiny useless dinosaurs.” But their not. And the novels are messed up, because of the compys. Killing hammond, and killing a NEWBORN CHILD, thats just messed up.

The way hammond died in the books was actually referenced in camp cretaceous, three of the main characters (yasmina,kenji,and Darrius) in one episode(don't remember what season that episode is in) encounter the old jurassic park hotel building,yasmina says hammond broke his leg and was eaten by compies(his death in the books) Darrius then corrects her and says hammond died of old age(his movie death).

I just love how jurassic park is so old and people still make games, videos, and give us facts like dinofax this guy deserves more 👏

3:30: "An for some reason, another Raptor stole his candy bar." This is actually extremely important for later in the novel. It's why the Raptors attack the high hide, Eddie is killed, and everything starts going to sh*t for Malcolm's group. Earlier in the novel, before Malcolm and his group witness King being killed by the Raptors near the river, there is a scene with Levine and Arby eating candy bars in the high hide. While the group discuss the herbivores drinking from the river, Arby folds his wrapper and puts it in his pocket, while Levine recklessly throws his wrapper away, and it falls down near the base of the structure. Even though he is supposed to be a scientist and Malcolm has already lectured everyone on not disturbing the environment around them, nobody calls him out on littering, Malcolm just rolls his eyes at Levine continuing to be a douchebag. Not long after, when the raptors kill King and start eating his body, the raptor that stole the candy bar takes it away from the other raptors to enjoy by itself. It is described as enjoying the candy bar, and Levine seems to both find this amusing and concerning, but he can't put his finger on why. Later in the novel, after the T-Rex attack on the trailer, Levine, Eddie and the kids, Arby and Kelly, celebrate Thorne rescuing Malcolm and Sarah. Meanwhile, the raptors have moved away from the river looking for shelter from the storm further inland, approaching the high hide. The group go silent, and a few raptors bump into the support beams of the structure, but just consider it to be a tree or something in the jungle, and keep moving past. The kids start crying and Eddie comforts them while Levine watches through his night vision goggles. Suddenly however, the Raptor who ate Kings candy bar earlier stops, and starts sniffing around the base of the high hide. Moments later, Levine watches in horror as it raises its head, holding Levine's discarded candy bar wrapper in its claws. The Raptor sniffs the wrapper again, and looks up, directly at Levine, locking eyes with him, before it roars and starts trying to climb the high hide to reach its prey. The first Raptor starts trying to climb, but it falls and hisses in frustration. Its interest in the structure causes the rest of the pack to double back, and soon there are a pack of Raptors trying to climb the high hide. Levine notices that even though they keep slipping off the steel beams in the rain, they are learning, and each attempt brings them closer to reaching the top. He realises his actions have basically doomed everyone in the high hide to death, and freezes up in terror. This is when Eddie, who is like 24 in the novel, goes full hero mode. He pulls up one of the steel beams from the floor of the high hide, and starts swinging at Raptors who get to the top. As he is doing this, Eddie lifts Kelly up to climb on the roof to keep her safe. He goes to lift Arby, but another raptor nears the top. Eddie swings at it but misses, and the Raptor snaps at his neck, latching onto his shirt. Levine comes back to reality, and helps Eddie from falling. Eddie beats the raptor around the head till it lets go and falls back to the ground. Eddie then tells Levine to help Arby, and as Levine lifts him, another raptor grabs Eddie's weapon in its jaws, and pulls him out of the high hide, to the ground below and to his death. Levine freezes up in terror again and drops Arby, who kicks Levine in the face as he is falling. Kelly is now screaming on top of the high hide, and Levine is distraught that he caused two deaths, one being a teenager who admired him. Luckily for Arby, Eddie's body distracts the Raptors long enough that he is able to lock himself in the bear cage at the bottom of the high hide. He is unable to get the key out from the lock however, and a Raptor ends up with the key stuck around its neck. When Sarah and Thorne arrive, the raptors flee with Eddie's body, and tear the bear cage from the structure taking Arby with them as well, as described in the video.

As a parent, the image of the compies in the nursery just Man. That hit hard. Props to the author for creating a truly chilling picture

After I read the novels, I found the Compys was the one of the most terrifying monster at the park, second to John Hammond himself.

I used Jurrassic Park as a primary source for my undergrad thesis on horror, specifically the differences and similarities between gothic and cosmic horror, and I used Jurrassic Park as a bit of a transition point between the two. I compared it to Frankenstein in terms of messaging, and as an example of science fiction being something of a reflection of what speculative science was at the time of the novel’s writing. Sometimes I look back on it and feel kinda silly using a Steven Spielberg blockbuster next to Mary Shelley’s haunting novel about humanity and why you shouldn’t play God… and then I’m reminded of how horrifying the novel is, and I feel justified in my decision to include it. Got a pretty good grade on that paper, by the way. Edit: don’t blame the Raptors for being afraid of Troodons. Those fuckers can time travel and drive trains.

The scorpios Rex was also the most unhinged of all the hybrids, according to dr. Wu, its mind was just fractured as its appearance

"If the Indominus gave the parents nightmares, this guy will give the whole family trauma" 😂 my absolute favorite quote here

now i need a movie 100% inspired by the books, imagine a sci-fi and horror jurassic park movie, truly a saga i didn't know i needed

The novel Rex was absolutely malicious. Tim said he felt bad when the rex bit its tongue off after the tranqs kicked in, saying it was just behaving as an animal. Like, no, Tim, that thing chased you across the island despite having food, that thing was chasing you out of pure malice.

Sorna in the films and books is a nightmarish horror.In the books, the island is full of dinosaurs, including pack of raptors, a pair of tyrannosaurs, and those unnatural carnotauruses.The raptors are unnaturally aggressive, even to each other, scaring Malcolm who remembers how different they were on Nublar.There’s very few adults or mature animals, and wierd piles of corpses everywhere.Then they learn at the end Sorna was infected by a horrible DX virus from using sheep meat to feed the carnivores, which Hammond covered up and so had been spread to all the animals by the predators and compies, resulting in the island having too many dinosaurs but few adults, a high die off rate and unnaturally aggressive animals, and so all the islands dinosaurs would be nothing but corpses eventually. In the films, it’s WORSE.First, the island is gigantic, so big it makes Nublar look tiny.Second, the island was abandoned after the storm of 1990, resulting in mass chaos and panic as all the workers had to flee, while the dinosaurs escaped, so it stands to reason a fair few workers died at the hands of predators.The island has so many dinosaurs, including 6 Tyrannosaurs, two packs of raptors, Baryonyxes, Carnotaurs, and more.The only way off the island is by using the main centres communications, which are surrounded by a huge patch of grass full of the tiger striped raptors who are extremely aggressive and in large numbers.There is a pterosaur aviary, with strange mutant ones not mentioned as existing by Hammond or on Ingens list but already very old and rusted, with human bones and skulls in their nests despite no one going near it or opening it since presumably 1990.By 1996 and 2001, something is able to attack and kill people who sail or travel on boat near the island, something that can swim or fly even because of what happened in third films opening and in second where the ferry man said people don’t like to take boats near it less they dissapear.The dinosaurs are not afraid of people and the island is far more wild then Nublar, with so much jungle and wild space that you have no real way of getting to safety, even the few buildings left are in disrepair and covered slowly by the plants.In 1999 Ingen obviously went back and cloned more, creating new monstrosities including: -A murderous extremely aggressive Spinosaur that kills tyrannosaurs and is even referred to as a mistake, and a mutant, that relentlessly tracks down humans. -A pack of hyper intelligent raptors who are so intelligent they use a guy as bait to lure them down and communicate extensively to the point Alan is amazed how smart these ones are. -A ceratosaur that is the size of a small tyrannosaur. It’s a island of death.

To quote you “ remember Jurassic park makes monsters not animals,”

Bro, I would love it if Genndy Tartakovsky did a faithful adaptation of the original Jurassic Park. Knowing what an amazing job he did with Primal, I'm sure he could pull it off somehow.

For me, ironically the smaller ones are the most terrifying to me, with the Troodons being top 1 since "Jurrassic Park: The Game". Glowing, dead eyes as nightvision googles, incredibly intelligent, hunts at night and with a venomous bite? Imagine walking in pure darkness through the forest and suddenly you see several white eyes lighting up infront of you. Little old me was scared shitless as a child whenever I encountered them.

That dilo scene in the book was brutal. I remember I was a kid when I read the book and in English class I had to write a story and I wrote something that wasnt a rip off but drew heavily from how dark the tone of that scene was...I earned myself a call to my parents and a meeting at school lol

"Indoraptors have superb nightvision." Except when you're the main character. Then you can just distract them with a Tom & Jerry routine....

You know, if Resident Evil had people this passionate of knowing all the monsters and storylines of the games, I think they would be a franchise by now. Great series!

“At one point a Raptor has his severed head in its jaws. And another stole his candy bar.” Bruh that’s horrifying but hilarious 😂

Always remember that Dinos are Brutal, Nature is Metal.

An underrated scene from The Lost World novel is when Malcolm, Dr. Thorne & Eddie Carr are searching around an abandoned InGen laboratory after arriving in their Ford Explorer SUV. They're outside a loading bay that has been damaged to the point it's almost fully exposed. As the three are poking around, They get a radio message from Arby (a character who's friends with Kelly in the trailer in the book, but isn't in the film) frantically telling them to *immediately* get in the car. They're furious at first since Arby was not at all supposed to be on the expedition with them, but after Arby says "It's almost there! Get in!". Eddie checks the video monitor in the Explorer that shows a video feed of the surrounding area that Arby is seeing too, and see a Tyrannosaurus walking up the game trail towards them. The men climb hurriedly in, and hear the earth begin to shake. The car sways from side to side, and Malcolm is frozen pale in fear. The beast the size of a 2-storey building enters stage right, lumbering across the small clearing; not stopping. But as the Rex is about to pass them, the tip of its tail hits the hood of the Explorer, and it *turns around.* The next few minutes are the purest distillation of terror as the trio sit in silence, praying to God the Rex doesn't decide to attack the car. It eventually moves on after ascertaining the Explorer isn't a threat, but my god I can't imagine the pure fear of being trapped in there whilst a 10-tonne carnivore is eyeing you up.

THIS is what I wanted, I always hated that they tried to make Jurassic Park family friendly then have a bunch of deaths in it, this fits it so much better

00:09 - Jurassic Park Novel 02:09 - The Lost World Novel 04:19 - Tyrannosaurus Rex 05:19 - Troödon 06:44 - Carnotaurus 07:40 - Ultimasaurus 08:36 - Scorpios Rex 09:35 - Compsognathus 10:35 - Spinosaurus 11:30 - Indominus Rex 12:28 - Dilophosaurus 13:14 - Velociraptor 14:37 - Indoraptor

As a fan of the novel and the films, I think the "velociraptors" were deliberately misnamed by Crichton, they explain the naming process in the novel as basically guess work once the animal hatches based on where the dna sample came from. The ONLY reason the raptors are named Velociraptor Mongoliensis is because they looked like little raptors at hatching and their dna came from mongolia. Crichton researched a lot, and would have known that species was just a lil murder turkey. It was one of the many mistakes that showed the ignorance of the Park, like the dumb animal counting system they had in place

It’s so horrifying, gory and nightmare inducing I love it

Ultimasuarus reminds me of the Deathclaw which was also made by genetic experimentation in the Fallout game franchise

'a creature from the future made from pieces of the past' oh god that sounds good.

When I was a toddler I used to be afraid of the jurrasic park movies, but now I absolutely love them. Hearing how different the books are from the movies makes me wish the movies were more adapted to the books. It wouldn't seem like a action suspense movie but Instead a chilling sci-fi horror that would give even adults nightmares.

The raptors were terrifying because they were incredibly intelligent and incredibly brutal and also did some things humans do, for example they ate one of the baby raptors alive and another time they used the back of they’re arms to wipe they’re mouths (like humans after eating)

I think another thing thats dangerous about these dinosaurs is that they're way too intelligent, they learn as they fight, eat, and immediately learn where they fit in the food chain

8:12, Ultimasaurus makes the Indominus look like a normal dinosaur.

Having a dinosaur game with all these terrifying/scary stuff would be pretty sweet.

Ultimasaurus is Jurassic World's Godzilla. I thought Indy had giganotosaurus in her, but I thought it was the arms, not the size.

2:35 Oh my God it makes so much sense why the Carno boss fight from old JP arcade game can turn invisible

6:12 remember kids, Jurassic Park makes monsters, not animals!

There are some scary things in this franchise. But none are scarier than Troodon

I was watching casual geographic's Halloween special where he talks about the USS Indianapolis and the male lions of the lunatic express he talks about modern things but you add the prehistoric part of creepy and horrific attacks!

The comics were also pretty brutal and show that they only had a very limited understanding of what they were even doing in the park.

One key ability that the Indoraptor had that none of the other creatures ever had, whether they'd be the dinos or the other hybrids (JP dinos all are hybrids anyway) and it was the ability to smile/smirk.

In camp cretaceuos the john hammond killing from the book is referenced when yaz said "I heard john hammond was ripped apart by compies!"

With the hybrids Henry wu made, we are actually quite lucky. Wu had the power to create new species of dinosaurs. Most of his hybrids were different to each other in every way but one. Each of his hybrids were shown to be incredibly sadistic creatures. Take the endo raptor, he could have killed a small defenceless child, but instead it chose to take its time. You are probably wondering why I said that we are quite lucky. I said that because we are lucky his hybrids couldn’t speak. This series would turn into a horror series if his hybrids could speak English. With the way the hybrids were going his next hybrid could have had greater intelligence than a human.

I think the novel version of the compies are just stuff of nightmares

You should talk about ARK's creatures sometimes (mainly the fictional ones)! When most peple hear "ARK: Survivl Evolved" they think of dinosaurs, but in reality ARK is a sci-fi game featuring dinosaurs. The creatures you should really talk about are the Rock Drakes (big feathered chinese dragon inspired by the predator that lives in caves), Shadowmanes ("Part lion and part spiny tropical fish!"), the Maewing (the result of a sugar glider and platypus love story), the Reapers (that one "Xenosaurus rex" drawing but slightly more original) and the astrocetaceans (Astrocetus the big space whale and Astrodelphis the smaller but still kinda big space beluga/porpoise/dolphin that has a saddle which turns it into a space fighter jet).

To be honest the movies would've been a lot more horrorfying if these were added, but hey it's still good we see these

Nedrys death in the book is so well written it sticks in the back of my mind to this day

YES!!! EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!

"Remember kids, Jurassic Park makes monsters not animals." This mans just hit with the coldest line on this channel

It is sad that Scorpios is ruined by the kid friendliness of the CC show

I think this is a lesson as to not bring back these killing machines, maybe something small and herbivorous and yes I know JP isn't real but am I wrong? Would you rather get a small bruise from an herbivore that's as big as a dog, or an raptor pack hunting and eating you?

I love dinosaurs 😊

Odd note but I just really want to say how grateful I am that you credited artists in the video, I see way too many TikTok’s just not acknowledge that artists have poured blood sweat and tears into the images they use as backgrounds

Indoraptor and scorpius hunting at night in some abandoned facility that's when the nightmare kicks in

I was actually disappointed at the movie, and the book was the reason. I had read it a few weeks before the movie came out. They omitted so much, and made it an entire different thing. Not even the effects were able to take my mind of it. And back then I liked these things.

In My Opinion The Scorpius Rex Is The Most Terrifying Creature In Jurassic World

I grew up loving dinosaurs (and kaiju but that’s a point for another time.) I was born in 1997 and it wasn’t until I went to rehab when I was in highschool I was looking through the library and found a mangled copy of the og jurassic park book and man. That book was so good. It really put into perspective how much is cut out of a good book to make a movie. Truly eye opening.

I remember in the book Muldoon had to use a rocket launcher in the book instead of the Italian Franchi SPAS-12 pump/auto 12 gauge shotgun in thr movie. They didn't bleed fast enough and after shooting one with a 12 gauge slug in a vital spot could take 2 hours for them to bleed out, so for STOPPING power Muldoon used a rocket launcher.

Y'know the JP books make me think how much more insane the series could've gotten if it went the way of the Dino Crisis dinos. Yes, even the DC3 dinosaurs, they were cool and you are lying to yourself if you think otherwise.

The Jurassic novels have been my favorite books since high school. Glad more people out there appreciate them.

3:19 “how’d that work out for you pal.” God DAMM that god me💀

It would be so awesome if they could make a Dino crisis game set in the Jurassic Park universe because it's all laid out for it to work.

Holy this was horrifying It's been a while since I've been on KZfaq and to come back and see easily one of my favorite youtubers growing so big with 36k is crazy considering the fact last time i used KZfaq i believe you had 1k great job can't wait to see what's next

T-Rex juveniles: Hey ma, what's for dinner? T-Rex: Dodgson, we got Dodgson here!

dang i did not realize how many people died in the novel that stayed alive in the films

Ultimasaurus looks like it could fit very well in the Monster Hunter games as a brute wyvern.

This could compete well with Aliens and Predator if they stuck with the book

Knife hands Magee got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣 love ur stuff keep it up 💯😎

5:15 yeah Crichton said that he wrote it like a slasher film, that’s why the Rex just kept messing with them.

i would honestly like to see a jurassic film where the dinosaurs are hyper mutated from radioactive waste leading to them increasing in size and shorter lifespans causing more aggression for resources and more exaggerated weaponry like a carnotaurus the size of a tyrannosaur with horns similar to that of a triceratops and facial features that look like a mix from stumpy the tyrannosaurus and a skull crawler.

Please, more of these types of video. I love your use of music. Can you list your sources of music, please?

I’m so happy this channel is starting to pick up steam it’s so good

The Jurassic park novel got me to start reading for the first time in probably six years. The books feel like they were written by an actual biologist - even if the actual content of the book is obviously fantastical (especially in the lost world, which has a whole bunch of time spent on just observing behavior in the high hide).

My god the lost world was an amazing book, and if anyone has access to the audiobook then GET IT! The narrator does an amazing impression of Wesker for some of the Biosyn employees.

We should get a remake of the series but more novel accurate

The book is recommended to anyone who has seen the films (more so if you didn't enjoy them as much hoped). The first novel is great for the first half, and kinda falls apart between major events. You'll find a ton of references used in the films in the first novel alone. It show's you just how much the studio's shredded that novel and scattered the pieces into almost every film. The world building is a great addition in the novel where genetic engineering for cosmetic purposes has gone mainstream, and Jurassic Park was the next big business venture invested in by multiple businesses around the world

The tapetum lucidum, it's a membrane at the back of the eyes and is a very common evolutionary feature in mammals like dogs and cats. This is also why when something like a flashlight shines in their eyes, they tend to glow. Humans used to have it in our eyes back before we split as a species away from lemurs evolutionarily about 40 million years ago to make room for the cone cells that let us see the full red-green-blue color spectrum of visible light, as cats and dogs can't perceive the color red the way non-colorblind humans can. The way a tapetum lucidum works is that the membrane sits behind the retina, reflecting any light that's managed to penetrate all the way through the retina, giving the animal that has those eyes a second chance to perceive each light particle, upgrading its sense of night vision as DinoFax said by comparing it to be like fitted with integrated night vision goggles.

Nice give it more of a Creepy vibe

The books are just so awesome, Im currently reading the lost world novel and I really like it.

top tier content my freind but i think the rapotrs might have had a very weak sort of sense of echo location in the kitchen scene of the first movie

I would totally support an R remake that was faithful to the book

I like how horofaing the book is, and I like how the movie treated them as animals. Eather way Jurassic Park is brilient both as a book, and as a movie.

Nice to see the novel get some love. I was absolutely riveted by the story. I love the movie as it is but how I wish there was even more from the novel incorporated.

Dinofax: "It was called the Ultimasaurus." My D&D brain: *sees image* "Ah yes, the baby Tarrasque."

The novel reminds me more of a mini-series or a TV show as its much longer and more drawn out then the film

If they were to reboot the Jurassic books, making them more like the novels would be epic. We need more dino horror stories

Just found your channel, and gotta say I dig it. Good insight and you're clearly passionate. Keep 'em up, dude!

My bro has done this already 3 times. This confirms that Jurassic Park is 100% death and fear, 0% fun

As I'm watching and loving this, it hits you like a ton of bricks how eerily InGen and Umbrella Corp. have similarities. Having said that, it has been over 20 years now, can we please have a reboot or remake of Dino Crisis already!?

I'm sad he didn't mention the ceradactyal scene in the first book, that shit was terrifying, the idea of dozens of giant lizard bird trying to impale you. Nightmare fuel.

Michael Crichton was an absolute genius of a writer.

You know what was one of the best Jurassic Park games was? That one on Sega and I think it was also on Super Nintendo; the side-scroller where you could also play as the raptor, not the top view game, not that that one wasn't... there.. I just loved the music, atmosphere, sound effects, the fact that you could play as the raptor, man I loved that game so much...

I loved how the troodons got their moment of glory in the Jurassic Park game in all their horror novel glory

Jurassic Park could have become a series of horror movies like Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th and Alien , but these idiots wouldn't let it
