"If Oscar Wilde showed up at your house tonight, after the initial screaming and rundown of current events, what movie would you put on for him?\nSave for any actual literary zombies, imagining what your favorite novelist or playwright would have on their Netflix queue can help you plan a Poe-themed Halloween party or a Jane Austen girls night.\nSee also: What Books Would 'Harry Potter' Characters Read?\nAnd for those who are still crossing their fingers for time travel, it never hurts to be prepared. \n\n\nThe Guily Pleasures of 12 Late Authors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Real Housewives\n\nIf F. Scott Fitzergerald rose from the dead and happened to find himself in front of a TV, he'd surely wonder what the aimlessly rich are up to these days?\n\nImage: Tumblr realitytvgifs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Oscar Wilde: Monty Python and the Holy Grail\n\nWilde and Monty Python are both highly quotable. By hanging out with a crowd in Black Knight shirts, he'd more likely find people who want to talk about  The Importance of Being Earnest. \n\nImage: Tumblr moviegifss\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Mark Twain: Borat\n\nThe American humorist probably would have liked the take of this British humorist on American culture and their attitude towards other cultures. \n\nImage: Tumblr funnyarena\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Edgar Allen Poe: Pretty Little Liars\n\nPoe would have appreciated the suspense of PLL, as well as the nicely named spin-off Ravenswood.\n\nImage: Tumblr garylekiwi\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Virginia Woolf: Grey's Anatomy\n\nChances are, Ms. Woolf would be psyched to see a bunch of women getting an O.R. room of their own. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Jane Austen: Gilmore Girls\n\n\nA female-driven comedy about two women who certainly don't need a man but sometimes want one anyway would have entertained Jane Austen. \nPlus, think of all the humblebrags she could drop -- at least three Austen novels were  mentioned  during the show's run. \n\n\nImage: Tumblr themindofafictionbooklover\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Mary Shelley: Sleepy Hollow\n\nBeyond appreciating the whole \"dead becomes alive\"  motif, Shelley would have enjoyed the heavy theme of inescapable destiny that  Sleepy Hollow uses. \n\nImage: Tumblr amberushgron\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Shakespeare: House\n\n\"Everybody lies\" could have been the tagline of almost all of Shakespeare's plays.\n\nImage: Tumblr yournorth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Charles Dickens: \"Trapped in the Closet\"\nDickens was all about serializing entertainment, so he would have appreciated this 33 chapter musical epic. \n\nImage: Tumblr fuckyeahrkelly\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Louisa May Alcott: Spice Girls\nBecause, really, the March women were just a more superior girl group. \n\nImage: Tumblr fiercegifs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. William Faulkner: Juno\n\nWilliam Faulker was all about dialect, oftentimes incomprehensible to anyone outside of the demographic he was writing about. Juno also seems at times to introduce an entirely new language. \n\nImage: Tumblr cheshire-smiling-cat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12. Flannery O'Connor: American Horror Story: Coven\n\nWhile Asylum's less-than-respectful religious visuals would have been off-putting to O'Connor's Catholic religion, Coven's Gothic themes and Southern setting matches up nicely with her writing. \n\nImage: Tumblr kikerowling\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Flickr, Carlos Luna"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
