Most disloyal book-based film?

Campbell, it's poor since it's nothing like the story and the monster was very different as it wasn't the shapeshifting parasite from the story because in the 50's they had limited special effects technology, so instead they changed it to a killer walking slumbering plant monster that sucks blood and didn't imitate anyone or devour anyone. The 1982 version from John Carpenter remains to this day, the quintessential more faithful adaptation of the story.
