Jim Henson's The Labyrinth Novelization: The Novelization

Product Information

And as Labyrinth shows, there’s particular danger in being a teenage girl . Connelly’s Sarah is 16, and Jareth, we learn, doesn’t just want a new baby to be reborn as a goblin, which is disturbing enough. He wants Sarah. He wants her to love him, and his longing increases, becoming more and more creepily clear, as the movie progresses. There’s both a paternal appeal and stranger-danger in Jareth, a confusing and unnerving quality given Bowie’s alleged statutory rape of two young fans in the ’70s (reports that only intensified after the singer’s death earlier this year). Frankly, it makes Labyrinth difficult at times to rewatch as an adult.

For Compiet's visuals, having access to photos and imagery used for the film by The Jim Henson Company was invaluable. “I also was sent tons of photos by The Henson Company, sometimes photos I don't think anyone else besides people at Henson had seen of some of these goblins and it was such an amazing experience," Compiet says. "[Editor Chris Prince] made sure we had everything we needed to paint these creatures in a realistic light—whether we had a question about a comic book character, wanted clarity on a novel reference, or just really hoped to see another side of a certain goblin."Henson, Jim (December 1983).
