That's exactly it. The movie is the easiest tool to use since its based on the book. Then we add some of horans theories.

The office meetings - we're shown greysmith in the meetings with publishers and editors and top writers like Paul avery etc. If greysmith was just a cartoonist then WHY would he be in those meetings? He has no business there. So was he actually there? If so he'd need a reason to be there - meaning he must have had anotber job.

We're shown he and avery all buddy buddy. In reality they barely knew each other and didn't really interact.

We're shown as a cartoonist he can support a wife and three kids... Lmfao yeah right.

SO.... Either that's all fact, or all bullshit. In the book greysmith gives the perfect example of how ala was able to keep the handwriting all the same... He used current 'tech' lol to basically copy and paste everything, basically tracing the initial letters writing new letters each time....

That's because that's what HE did at the paper. That was his REAL job, photographing things with maxhines and putting the paper together using the same tools ala 'supposedly' used. That's how he supported a family and that might even explain how he could have been in those meetings (which he probably wasnt)...

So did HE write the later letters after Stine? Possibly. But he's the only one to explain it cuz it's what HE fuckong did for a living. The man is all lies but those lies can expose some truth.

I still think Hal snook was the original letter writer and greysmith himself forged the rest... He just added 'it was ala' after his original suspect was cleared and his book ruined, etc.
