Is there any person in the world more afraid of greasers than Stephen King? Grease must be a horror movie to his ass. Danny Zuko must scare the fuck out of him. The Fonz must send him into hiding. Again and again he has used greasers to terrorize his characters.

A ★★★ review of Sometimes They Come Back (1991)

Jim Norman (Tim Matheson) was nearly killed as a young boy. Disturbed greaser teenagers trapped him in a train tunnel. He was the only one to emerge from the tunnel alive. His brother and all of the t...

When you write superhero comics, some days you wake up and think "it's all been done before" and feel panic. And some days you wake up and think "it's all been done before" and feel free. The challenge is navigating yourself from the first to the second so you can get some actual work done

Got a hunch this will utilize the theory that Carrie’s abilities are a form of the shine. King’s never confirmed but the shining, the push from Firestarter, and talents from The Institute all feel related to Breakers in The Dark Tower.

Under the weather today, and only ginger ale and @stephenking.bsky.social can fix me. The last time I watched this I was 13, and it was the biggest TV event of my life. #NowWatching Stephen King's The Shining (1997) #horrorsky
