The Woman is a horror novel written by Jack Ketchum and Lucky McKee. It was later adapted into a film directed by McKee. It is a sequel to Ketchum's Off Season and Offspring.
Development
The Woman was in part inspired by the performance of actress Pollyanna McIntosh as the Woman in the film adaptation of Offspring. The character died in the novel but her performance impressed both Ketchum and director Andrew van den Houten and the script was rewritten with her surviving.
Both the novel and the script for the film were collaborated on at the same time by Ketchum and McKee. According to Ketchum, "Lucky and I both did the screenplay and the novel together. What basically happened was, we IM’d each other and got down the basic plot that we wanted. The characters that we wanted. The situations that we wanted. We got it into a structured form. While Lucky was doing the heavy lifting on the screenplay version, and I was editing that and sending it back and forth to him, we were also working on the prose version of it, and I was doing the heavy lifting on the prose."[1]
