Cujo

Yeah, interesting.

Cujo.

Cujo? Yeah.

Wow.

1408.

It's insane.

And then 1983 is Cujo, which we've covered, Louis Teague, Dead Zone by Cronenberg, and then Christine by John Carpenter.

So the first five movies, you have four of the greatest – I almost said American, but Cronenberg is Canadian.

So the greatest like North American directors.

Yeah, of course.

Right, right.

Of course, we talked about Sheriff George Bannerman in the Cujo episode.

Yes.

This series of stories was actually shot in a very interesting way, following a stray tabby cat guided by some kind of entity trying to find his way to a little girl to protect her, and along the way, the cat ends up in three separate stories.

Directed by Louis Teague, who directed this, Cujo, and The Jewel of the Nile, and a few other notable things in the 80s and 90s, but never really got off the ground after that.

Stephen King was, of course, the only writer on this movie, which he did a lot back in the 80s and 90s.

This segment stars Kenneth McMillan, who played Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in the original Dune from 1984, another very weird movie that I was obsessed with as a kid.

on film.

Lee did, as you were mentioning, Kyle, Lee did write a heap of different books, things such as The Massacre by Mother Nature, exploring the natural horror film, as well as things around the making of Cujo and also the things around Nope and Fairy Like Her and other things like that as well.

And even had a spotlight at Acme with a very amazing sort of short history on the ravenous and vengeful felines of film spotlighting the cats in film.

And I think it's a very hilarious title of that, which is called the Meow Meow Massacre.

you know, entertainment is reflective.

It is a mirror.

I mean, you don't look at something like Cujo and go, yep, that's me.

But there are, and that's one of the things that Lee particularly loved, Stephen King.
