    New Episode-Rose Red (2002)

    In 2002, Stephen King continued his successful collaboration with ABC to bring an original story to life. The three part Rose Red was a ratings success, spawned supplemental promotional material and a spinoff prequel one year later.  Sandwiched between the heyday of the TV mini-series and the rise of prestige TV, Rose Red finds itself like a ghost, haunting the shifting landscape of television.  What legacy does it leave behind?  Not only do I discuss Rose Red, but I place it in context of other horror properties such as The Haunting, The Haunting of Hill House, The Blair Witch and The Sixth Sense. What do these horror tales have to do with Rose Red? Well, you'll have to listen to find out.  As always, if you have any thoughts on anything related to Stephen King, write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow on Bluesky, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.  Stay organized and up to date with all things Stephen King at stephenkingcast.com For even MORE Stephen Kingcast content, check out patreon.com/stephenkingcast

    New Episode-Trucks (1997)

    1997 was a prolific year for Stephen King. Not only did he publish Wizard and Glass, but the television world also saw adaptations of The Shining, "Chattery Teeth" (Quicksilver Highway) and the second adaptation of his story "Trucks."  A vast tonal departure from 1986's Maximum Overdrive, Trucks strips down the more over-the-top, cocaine-fueled insanity of the original adaptation, leaving behind, well frankly, a car frame without an engine.  As always, if you have any thoughts on anything related to Stephen King, write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow on Bluesky, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.  Stay organized and up to date with all things Stephen King at stephenkingcast.com For even MORE Stephen Kingcast content, head on over to patreon.com/stephenkingcast

    New Episode-Stephen King's The Shining (ABC, 1997)

    In the Spring of '97, King once more partnered with director Mick Garris to fulfill his dream of bringing a more faithful adaptation of his novel The Shining to the screen. For years, King has never shied away from his criticism of Stanley Kubrick's take on his his material. Though 1980's Jack Nicholson starring movie is considered a horror classic, one of the best horror adaptations of all time, and one of the greatest works of cinema, it never measured up to King's own opinion of what the story should have been.  And in 1997, he had the opportunity to tell his story, except this time on his terms. Comparisons be damned! Who cares if the performance by Jack Nicholson will reverberate through the generations as a once-in-a-lifetime showcase? Who cares if the iconography that Kubrick brought to the property (elevators of blood, the teddy bear guest, the twins) has become synonymous with the story itself and wouldn't be present in the remake? Who cares if it, by the very nature of it airing on primetime television, couldn't compete with the visceral imagery of its horror counterpart?  King didn't care, and apparently, audiences didn't either. The movie was a ratings smash hit, but now that nearly 30 years have passed since it aired, how does it hold up?  As always, if you have any thoughts on anything related to Stephen King, write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow on Bluesky, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.  Stay organized and up to date with all things Stephen King at stephenkingcast.com

    New Episode-Mick Garris' Quicksilver Highway (1997)

    In 1997, Mick Garris stepped back behind the camera to launch what he'd hoped would be an ongoing anthology horror show on FOX. Capitalizing off the success of The X-Files, Quicksilver Highway would have been an ongoing series of standalone stories tethered together by a troupe of actors and narratively framed by the enigmatic Aaron Quicksilver, played by legendary Christopher Lloyd.  Though the show never took off, we were provided with a great What Could Have Been? In this episode, I review the movie, comprised of an adaptation of Stephen King's "Chattery Teeth" and Clive Barker's "The Body Politic."
