The perfect story, written by the perfect author, brought to the screen by the perfect director. If first impressions mean anything – it would appear that director Mike Flanagan may have just created horror royalty with his adaptation of Doctor Sleep. After his last two home runs – Gerald’s Game and of course the groundbreaking […]
If you didn’t find the time to check out the retelling of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary when it was in theaters a few weeks back – I’ve got some good news for you. They are not going to make you wait long to add this one to your personal collection. Paramount has put it on […]
Huge fan of what André Øvredal has brought to the genre. both Troll Hunter and The Autopsy of Jane Doe were pretty damn fantastic and he, of course, has another high profile flick – Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark later this year but this new project – some exciting stuff. I’m old enough […]
It’s not exaggerating to state that IT Chapter Two is one of, if not THE most anticipated horror release this year and we’ve all been patiently waiting for our first look at the grown-up Loser’s Club and today – we get it. As fans know – this chapter of King’s epic tale will bring the […]
You would be hard pressed to find a horror fan that would not put Stephen King’s classic vampire tale Salem’s Lot – and the Tobe Hopper directed TV flick it spawned – high on their list of all-time favorite horror things. The book and the film have both stood the test of time and you […]
Burned out at working the graveyard shift at a Boston hospital, Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) decides to seek a quieter life by moving to rural Maine with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and their two children, Ellie (Jeté Laurence) and Gage (Hugo and Lucas Lavoie). The quiet lasts about 24 hours. On his first day […]
Once the ball got rolling on the new Shudder series Creepshow – helmed by horror maven Greg Nicotero – things have progressed quickly and some new casting news has just come to light. One of the segments getting put together for season one is an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story Gray Matter. Originally published […]
Hulu’s King-centric series Castle Rock started off pretty strong but unfortunately (at least in the eyes of this King fan) lost some steam in the later episodes and kind of sputtered its way to its finale. With that being said – I still love the idea that those behind the series are attempting to build […]
Ranking pretty high on the good ole must-see list for this horror fan is the upcoming retelling of Stephen King’s classic shocker Pet Sematary. Really looking forward to watching John Lithgow’s take on Jud Crandall. We get to see much more of that character, as well as delving deeper into the modern vision of the […]
Well, if you were looking for a reason to subscribe to CBS All Access and you’re a Stephen King fan – your reason just arrived. The streaming service announced today that The Stand – Stephen King’s epic vision of the end of the world – has been given a 10 episode order with Josh Boone […]
Paramount released a new teaser clip for their upcoming remake of the classic Stephen King tale Pet Sematary. Things look familiar – yet completely different – and that’s a good thing – I think. Although I find it pretty much impossible that you’ve never read the book or seen the original film, here’s a synopsis, […]
News on the project just keeps getting better! When it was first announced, I was excited – when news broke that Greg Nicotero was the power behind it – I was ecstatic and when Shudder picked it up – I almost passed out but today’s news – it’s just too much to take. The CREEPSHOW […]
Directed by the legendary Tobe Hooper, starring horror icon Robert Englund and based on a short story by Stephen King – this film would appear to be the stuff that horror fans dreams are made of – but the film has a bit of a notorious past and was largely panned by fans at the […]
We have found ourselves at a place where pretty much every word ever written by Stephen King wants to be adapted to film or series by someone. Case in point – today brought the news that FREEFORM – which if memory serves me correctly used to be ABC Family Channel has optioned his crime/noir […]
“Stephen King’s masterpiece of terror directed by the master himself.” the tagline for Maximum Overdrive promises the masterpiece horror film of 1986. Hell, the trailer amped up that pledge with Mr. King proclaiming he would “scare the hell out you!” However, when the machines take over the world, shit gets real. Christopher G. Moore is […]
