By 1983, Stephen King had rocketed to the top of the publishing world within a fairly short period of time. His first novel, Carrie, had been published only nine years before but he was already considered the modern master of the horror novel. The adaptations of his work, Brian DePalma’s Carrie (1976), Tobe Hooper’s TV […]

“I sometimes picture these unfortunates as men and women being pecked to death by predatory birds. The birds are invisible – at least until a psychiatrist who is good, or lucky, or both, sprays them with his version of Luminol and shines the right light on them – but they are nevertheless very real. The […]

Look, Stephen King likes to stay busy. The aughts were no exception, and by 2008, the blockbuster author had completed his long-running The Dark Tower series, delivered a Hard Case Crime novel in The Colorado Kid, penned two personal epics in Lisey’s Story and Duma Key, returned to horror with Cell, and started writing a […]

Although far from the first horror anthology, Creepshow quickly established itself as the quintessential one. After several stalled attempts to work together, George A. Romero and Stephen King — two undisputed masters in their respective fields, each in their prime — finally collaborated in 1982. With both creators having grown up on EC horror comics […]

Stephen King‘s a pretty cool guy, if you didn’t know. Not only has the master author set up a program to allow students to use the rights to his novels for just a dollar, but Stephen King had also done the same dollar deal with Remedy Entertainment and Alan Wake. Speaking to Eurogamer, Remedy’s Sam […]

Beware! Spoilers for the work of Stephen King abound. Stephen King has always been a self-referential writer. In addition to his poignant memoir On Writing and a multitude of forwards and afterwards in his Uncle Steve voice, the Master of Horror tends to inject his fiction with characters that bear a striking resemblance to his […]

And here’s one for the theater nerds. In 1988, blood pumped hot on Broadway when a musical adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie splashed across the stage. Created and composed by Dean Pitchford, Michael Gore, and OG Carrie screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen, the musical was big on ideas but low on white-glove appeal — after a […]

In the March 1973 issue of Cavalier, Stephen King terrified grown men across the world with sordid short story “The Boogeyman”.

Now, 30 years after first being published, the story is haunting theaters nationwide with Rob Savage‘s feature film […]

Stephen King’s short story “The Mangler” really shouldn’t work as well as it does. The fifth tale in his first collection, Night Shift, follows an industrial laundry press that somehow becomes possessed by a demon and begins flattening laundry workers like king-sized sheets. First published in a 1972 issue of Cavalier, the story contains the […]
