Children of the Corn is one of Stephen King’s most successful Horror stories. On more than one occasion, a movie franchise was adapted from it.. It is one of the greatest films of the Evil children Sub-genre. Unlike other Evil Child movies like Orphan, The Good Son, and Bad seed, This franchise doesn’t focus on a single evil child. The Children of The Corn is an Army of them. The movie is about a small town in which children kill everyone over 18. Being an adult can cost you your life. After earning $14 million for a budget of $800 thousand in 1984, the first movie was followed by 9 sequels throughout the 90s and early 2000s. It got a remake in 2009 and rather than making a sequel for that remake director and writer Kurt Wimmer goes for a reboot instead.  Due to the pandemic, this film originally made in 2020 experienced delays. Now it will be released to theaters on March 3, 2023 and streaming on VOD and Digital March 20,

  20th Century Studios’ latest production, “The Boogeyman,” derives from a short story written by the Master of Horror, Stephen King. The story is part of King’s “Night Shift” collection, which has provided the basis for several film adaptations including “Children of the Corn,” “Battleground,” “Lawnmower Man,” and “Jerusalem’s Lot.” Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman and their filmography are nothing but impressive. The writers of A Quiet Place and Black Swan making an adaption of a Stephen King story is exciting. Director Rob Savage better deliver because he is working with impressive scriptwriters.

Firestarter is an adaptation Stephen King  novel about a little  girl with Pyrokinesis. Pyrokinesis is the ability to emit, control flames and burn things by thinking alone. If you are a fan of Stranger Things you are for a treat, because both Firestarter and Carrie are inspirations. For instance, you can see shades of them with Eleven. Carrie White who is telekinetic has similarities with Charlie. The only difference is Charlie has the support system of a loving family but things will change when her powers manifest. She and her father will be on the run. Her anger can destroy a whole city and burn it to cinders so the government will see her as a weapon. Charlie doesn’t have the maturity and responsibility of having powers so she can be a horrifying threat. It is a joint project of Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions which is known for making horror films. It is based on a horror novel so it is fitting but the original film is more action than horror.

The boys are back in town: the town of Derry, Maine, plauged by an evil child-chomping clown 27 years ago. They thought they killed him then, but he’s back to terrorize a new generation. The members of the Losers Club have returned to finish him off once and for all! It Chapter Two is the most anticipated horror event of this coming fall season. Chapter One was a terrific adaption of the novel’s first half, and based on this trailer, we see no reason to believe Chapter Two won’t float just as effortlessly. Some of the clips suggest the Losers Club now has Little Losers of their own, and in that case…..WHY WOULD THEY BRING THEM TO DERRY??? Why would you let your kid into that hall of mirrors, you fool? Someone call CPS. It Chapter Two stars James McAvoy as Bill, Jessica Chastain as Beverly, Jay Ryan as Ben, Bill Hader as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, James Ransone as Eddie, Andy Bean as Stan, and Bill Skarsgård as

IDW Publishing announced this week that they’re adapting the Stephen King novel Sleeping Beauties into a ten-issue graphic novel, with illustrations by Alison Sampson. There are a lot of Stephen King books out there. You probably haven’t heard of this one, and neither have I. The official description states “Sleeping Beauties explores a world where women have sunken into a deep, cocooned slumber, their dreams taking them to an idyllic other place. They can only wake if disturbed, which results in violent, feral behavior. Meanwhile, the men have inherited the Earth, their society devolving into barbarism.” Well, that sucks….. “We are so excited about Rio and Alison’s vision for Sleeping Beauties,” says co-writer Owen King. “We’ve been fans of Rio’s for years and Alison’s artwork is simply extraordinary. IDW couldn’t have found a better pairing.” “I’m thrilled to be able to work on Sleeping Beauties,” says Sampson. “The story is very suggestive for interesting art, with magical themes interwoven through a very real place setting in Appalachia, and the opportunity

First Trailer For Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep

First Trailer For Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep

Is there any possible taller order than trying to make a sequel to The Shining? Stephen King wrote a followup to his own book in 2013 called Doctor Sleep, about a grown-up Danny Torrance. The task now falls on Warner Bros. to make a movie out of that book without the guidance of Stanley Kubrick — while at the same time pleasing King, who hated Kubrick’s movie. These days, Danny is trying to use his Shining for good, helping out at a local hospice and using his powers to guide the dying to the other side. He also has a cat that can predict when someone’s about to die (because Stephen King). Danny is still shaken by the trauma of his dad trying to kill him with a croquet mallet (changed to an axe in the movie, because croquet mallets make lousy murdering tools). The movie’s plot kicks into gear when Danny meets a girl also gifted with the Shining, named Abra (King isn’t a Pokemon fan…that we know of).

CBS All Access Is Adapting Stephen King’s The Stand

CBS All Access Is Adapting Stephen King’s The Stand

, , , , 0

Stephen King’s The Stand has had a tumultuous ride through Hollywood. The book has been in print since 1978, and during ALL THAT TIME, one person or another has been trying to make a movie out of it. The big problem is that The Stand is one of King’s hugest books, and fitting the entire story into a two-hour sit would require a lot to be cut out or rewritten. This may be why the only adaption of The Stand to ever see realization as a finished product was the 1994 miniseries aired by ABC. Told in six parts, they were able to fit most of the novel in there, but you know by now how heavily mocked ABC’s 90s adaptions of King novels are. Someone’s gotta do it better. The latest attempt at adapting The Stand has been revealed, and it’s not a movie this time either….it’s an ongoing series CBS is greenlighting for its All Access service. No one is more enthusiastic than King: “I’m excited and so

Pet Sematary is one of Stephen King’s most recognized novels, and the original movie adaptation is one of the most well-known based on his books (which is saying something, as there are over 30 such movies). As it is the nature of successful things to be regurgitated, a new Pet Sematary is heading our way in 2019. Today the first trailer was released. When his youngest son suddenly dies, Dr. Louis Creed is understandably distraught — and desperate. When he hears of an ancient burial ground that’s rumored to reanimate the dead, he decides to bury his kid there in hopes of a resurrection. Unfortunately for him, that’s exactly what happens. Pet Sematary stars John Lithgow, Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz, and was directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Steven Schneider and Mark Vahradian served as producers. See what new frights Paramount can dig up when Pet Sematary comes to theaters April 5, 2019. Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis

The Dead List Delivers – Movie Review

The Dead List Delivers – Movie Review

The Dead List, a horror anthology release from High Octane pictures out this May, is a rickety roller coaster ride of low-budget terror, that straps the viewer in for high-concept Hollywood nightmare fuel. The twisted minds of writer/director Holden Andrews and his collaborators pay homage to classic horror of the 80’s and 90’s, while upping the fear factor with their own brand of scares. For fans of the Tales From The Darkside or the 1982 George Romero/Steven King collaboration, Creepshow, The Dead List will bring you back to those gleefully gross vignettes while leaving out the stylized comic book motif. A book does play a central role in the plot however, as the names of the film’s ill-fated victims are scrawled onto the pages of The Dead List. A violent, but unrelated death of a nameless woman by an unseen roaring entity at a community park opens the film and does not bode well for the investment that The Dead List hopes to garner from the audience.

“Suffer The Little Children” Will Be The Next Stephen King Film

“Suffer The Little Children” Will Be The Next Stephen King Film

, , , 2

“It” is a big smash! It’s wowed critics, charmed audiences, and burned up the box office, earning $132 million during its opening weekend. That’s the most lucrative opening a King movie has ever had…..and it’s also one of the highest-earning openings of any September movie in history, the best opening day ever for a horror movie, and the second-highest-grossing opening for an R-rated film (behind Deadpool). Stephen King movies have remained a long staple of Hollywood, mainly because just when you figure they’re out of steam, one of them becomes a megahit and reinvigorates studio interest. To date 33 adaptions of King’s writing have made it to the big screen. If you count smaller screens, that number balloons to 60, including the upcoming Gerald’s Game for Netflix. A 34th adaption seems inevitable now. And indeed, mere hours after “It”‘s record-shattering earnings hit the press, the next King adaptation was announced: “Suffer The Little Children,” based on the short story of the same name from 1972. The premise is basically “it”

Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game Gets A Netflix Adaption

Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game Gets A Netflix Adaption

, , , 3

Stephen King published Gerald’s Game in 1992, at the height of Hollywood’s hunger for adapting his work. However, the book was entirely glanced over until now, and when you hear the plot, you understand why: it takes place entirely on a bed. So why, you might ask, did they not pull a Lawnmower Man and write something completely different out of the premise? Because the premise revolves entirely around bondage sex, which until Fifty Shades of Grey was completely unthinkable to build a mainstream movie around. Gerald and Jessie Burlingame are stuck in a dying marriage, and figure they can bring the spice back by escaping to a remote cabin in the middle of nowhere and Doing The Weird Stuff. From the first few moments of this trailer Gerald feels creepy, and you figure no amount of kinky roleplay is going to disguise that. You’d be right — Jessie chickens out two seconds in. If only she wasn’t married to this guy….then, at that very moment, he suddenly grabs his

Despite its iconic popularity as one of Stephen King’s most well-known novels, It has never been made into a movie. This is because it was made into a TV miniseries instead, and the miniseries proved popular enough, leading to a rash of subpar King sweeps events like “The Langoliers.” Though a lot of people love Tim Curry’s campy performance as Pennywise the Clown, there’s potential in a more menacing take that has yet to be realized. It is one instance where a remake could work, if it was done right. Now it’s happening, and here’s the first full trailer: Observations: We’re still getting some of the most well-known symbols of Pennywise’s presence like red balloons — and a kid in a yellow raincoat talking to a sharp-toothed clown in a sewer. We don’t get to hear Pennywise ramble about things “floating” in this trailer, but the kid (“Georgie”) sure does. Instead of the “bwammmmmp” noise we’ve grown accustomed to hearing, it’s a clip of an insane Georgie screeching “YOU’LL FLOAT
