Stephen King

Yeah.

Stephen King went on like, I mean, obviously he loves like spooky possession stuff, but like there was a moment where he was like really into telekinesis.

Yeah.

And those movies are awesome.

Speak No Evil does not have any found footage or sinister light fixtures, but because the movie is set at an English farmhouse, there are plenty of creepy storage areas, including a cellar that hides all of the family's dark secrets.

Finally, in the remake category, we have Firestarter, the second adaptation of Stephen King's novel following the 1984 version starring Drew Barrymore.

And again, we have two major horror brands colliding.

Stephen King plus Blumhouse sounds promising.

Unfortunately, Firestarter completely fizzles out.

You can feel the Stranger Things influence in this movie with an evil government agency trying to capture our heroine Charlie, who basically becomes a clone of Eleven.

I'm like, I don't understand.

I remember it's a long time now, but probably like 20 years ago, finding out that Danielle Steele isn't really danielle steel like you know what i mean like i i was like oh danielle steel is like a whole team of writers now and there's a whole you know mechanism to this of sub writers and ghost writers all under her pen name that put out the material that's how she was able to put out as much as she did um you know, sometimes people accuse Stephen King of sort of the same thing, right? Like how, how is he putting out this much material? Yeah,

no, I it's, it's, it's really with the series stuff we're doing too, you know, like some, some people, you know, it's, it's very serial.

So meaning that they're writing stories that are ongoing, you know, that don't ever stop.

One of the most classic horror films out there.

is why sex education in school is important because this week we continue our horror spotlight with a look at carrie from 1974 directed by brian de palma based upon the stephen king novel it stars jesse spacek as carrie white who's a shy unpopular high school student raised by an extremely religious mother who teaches her that ordinary aspects of growing up are sinful when carrie experiences her first period in the school shower she has no idea what is happening and panic Her classmates cruelly mock her and throw sanitary products at her while a teacher tries to restore order.

The incident becomes a defining moment for Carrie as it exposes her to the cruelty of her classmates.

At home, her mother responds to Carrie's development by punishing her and forcing her to pray in a small closet.

So, um, But I just I remember more so recording on episodes and I do the movie itself.

But so going into this and I knew like carries in this like ice, I think I remember watching like one of those VH VH one like 70s like, you know, that's so 70 whatever that was that show.

um, that they talked about Carrie and I, you know, being a Stephen King fan, I'm aware of the general story that that's happening here.

And even there's, we were talking about screaming the references to carry as well.

I've never seen an adaptation, which is like pure froom fruit.

We talked about Stephen King quite a few times.

Stephen King hates like Kubrick's The Shining.

It's like, well, it's an adaptation.

It's an adaptation where he takes things and he's like, right, I'm going to change this because Stephen King has his own kind of like storytelling.

Yeah.

It's the same with Carrie.

People are now loving Carrie, and it's nowhere near the source material of what Stephen King has originally written.

It's such a fantastic piece.

Anna Torv is incredible in it as the lead and beautifully directed by Emma Freeman But I've also been watching, speaking of a different version of Female Rage, Mike Flanagan's series adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie.

I am a massive Stephen King fan.

I always have been.

I was reading his books from the age of seven.

You've got to have your little nod in there, haven't you? You've got to have your

Stephen King nod for Kujo.

However, you mentioned Casey Affleck's character, Mitch, coming out as openly gay.

that was the first time in mainstream animation family animation that that took place

I never got into it.

Some of the Stephen King stuff I love.

like shawshank redemption

and the green mile yes those stories that he that he writes are fantastic yeah but he's so good at just switching genres yeah

My dad's not affected by that.

My dad has read every Stephen King novel ever written.

Watched all the movies and stuff.

My sister likes Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween.
