"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!"

XOXO

I laughed watching The Shining too, and still to this day I don't know why😀

They're doing Desperation? Ye God's! That might almost be *good*...

I pray to god that they'll never do a Dark Tower film, it'll just ruin it 🙁

the book is always better than the movie, end of story 😛

actually, im sure there's been a FEW movies better than the book, but not enough to write home about, lol.

i've read almost every book mention so far this thread (all but thinner, langaliers (spelling- im too tired to scroll down and spell it right, lol) and the dark tower series. every movie i saw, i watched right after i finished the book- and it has never lived up! the book was not just better, but it usually blew the movie out of the water! i was so sad in the shinning when they didn't include the part about the hedge animals moving...oh man, that part freaked the you-know-what out of me when i read it- and i don't scare easily!

i laughed during the entire salems' lot movie...the vampire had an overbite! i couldn't help it- but i didn't know they were making a new one!! awsome, i hope it's better!!! (I dont see how it can b worse, lol)

Misery wasn't that bad of a movie, i thought they did a good job w/ it.

and The Stand movie was awsome- ove never seen a movie that followed the book so closely! i loved it! That was the first book i read by King, and the first movie i saw...wish i had saved the best for last! It's the only movie i know worth the 6-hours it takes to watch it 😛

And i reeeeeeeeeally liked Shawshank the movie- actually, i think that's the only movie i liked better than the book, even though i read the book before. it was exactly like i had pictured the book, only better!

And the Green Mile...oh man, let's not start, that's in my top ten fave movies ever....lol, i almost forgot about it!

Well, i just wanted to throw in my 2.....er.....32, cents, lol 😉 Im hopefully gonna rent "The Dark Half" and "Needful Things" next week, since i finished both those books in the past month. Any reviews on those, are they worth the $2.50 i'll pay at the movie store?

oh, and DreamCatcher...that was good- the ending seemed WAY rushed compared to the book...again, the book was better....but the movie was perdy good, considering 😛

did u guys know he sold the rights to it for only 1 cent?!?! (Ahhh, the things u learn when u get to the movie theater too early before the movie starts, lol!)

I never read "Dreamcatcher", but i really enjoyed the movie. I don't why the critics hated it so much.

Nothing bothers me more than a great horror movie ruined with a 'happy' ending.
I believe the main character or characters should (if they survive) be logically scarred or traumatized, not hugging each other and looking with hope at the rising sun. My fave ending is still "night of the living dead".

It's grest to see that someone actually shares my enjoyment in seeing all of the main characters die in a horror movie. God I'm sick..........

 

[TicklishSinner]

Stephen King is VERY talented i will be watching

 

[The Sean Man]

I'ts great to see that someone actually shares my enjoyment in seeing all of the main characters dies in a horror movie. God I'm sick....

Absolutely! And they don't necessarily have to die, in my opinion. In a 'horror' situation, there is no happy ending. Even if you don't die, there major psychological trauma (ala Marilyn Burns in Texas Chainsaw or Sam Neill in In The Mouth of Madness). In Stephen King's The Mist, the narrator talks of how you would normally expect the story to end with a)the mist cleared up and everybody survived or b) the military showed up and saved us. That's why I love John Carpenters In The Mouth of Madness, The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and Ghosts of Mars. There is no resolution, and the events that terrorize the characters is still ongoing. Even Dawn of the Dead, when Peter and Fran escape the zombie infested mall, they have no idea where theyr'e going to go, and the helicopter is running low on fuel.
I just think a horror movie should end on a logically..."horrible" climax for the main protagonists. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now🙂
