The First Trailer for The Mist TV Show Expands on Stephen King’s Story

When most people think of Stephen King’s The Mist, the first thing that comes to mind is the 2007 movie (and its incredibly messed-up ending).

The First It Teaser Is Here, and Pennywise Looks Scary as Hell

The first teaser trailer for Andy Muscietti’s It opens with the ultimate loss of innocence, when raincoat-clad Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) chases a paper boat right into the clutches of a certain sewer-dwelling clown.

The whole thing starts with an isolated doorway mysteriously…

Why Stephen King Wants Adults To Remember How They Thought As Kids

Stephen King’s dark imagination as an adult always makes people wonder what the hell happened to him as a kid. But King didn’t have that unusual of a childhood. He’s more interested in everyone else’s curiosity about how he grew up and their assumption that something horrific must have happened for him to write about…

Will the Big-Screen Adaptation of Joe Hill’s Snapshot 1988 Be the Next Stranger Things?

There’s nothing Hollywood loves more than trying to replicate the success of something that came before by copying it, remaking it, rebooting it, or giving it a sequel. Fortunately, Stranger Things was so good that whatever imitators it spawns will hopefully be worthwhile. Enter Snapshot 1988. The snake is really eating its tale on this…
