This week we're looking at Larry Cohen's bizarre sequel to Tobe Hooper's hit TV miniseries, Salem's Lot which was based on the novel by Stephen King. While the studio bent over backwards to convince video renters that this movie was also from the mind of Stephen King and also had that cool Kurt Barlow vampire, Cohen's movie bears very, very little in common with the original. When anthropologist Joe Weber is called back to New York to deal with his delinquent son, he decides to reconnect with the kid by moving out to an old cottage he inherited from his aunt in Salem's Lot, Maine. When they arrive, however, they quickly learn that the town is haven to a race of vampires hiding in plain sight. They have plans for Joe and his son Jeremy and are desperately trying to maintain their ancient way of life.Cohen set out to make a satire of American conservatism in the 80's with this movie but the end product doesn't quite stick the landing.

Roxy Striar, Tara Erickson, & Andrew Gordon react to IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 7 — “The Black Spot,” the penultimate chapter of HBO's Stephen King prequel series. Set in 1962 Derry, Maine and developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the show has been steadily peeling back the town's poisoned history and Pennywise's 30-year cycle of fear. Episode 7 airs Sunday, December 7, 2025 on HBO and Max, and multiple official previews say it's extra-long (feature-length) and pivotal, treating the Black Spot tragedy as a major turning point for the season's mythology. As teased at the end of Episode 6, “The Black Spot” centers on the looming attack against the Black-owned club — an event long referenced in Stephen King's IT lore — and shows how human hatred and Pennywise's influence feed into one another. Previews suggest the night erupts into chaos, pulling the Hanlons, Hallorann, and the kids into a desperate attempt to survive and uncover what's really driving Derry toward violence, while the town's buried history threatens to ignite into something supernatural and catastrophic.

On a rainy day a boy in a yellow slicker sailed a paper boat down a stream along a flooded street. Little Georgie was dismayed when he saw the paper boat sail into a sewer. When he had all but given up on retrieving the boat Georgie heard the voice of a curious character in the sewer, it was Pennywise the Dancing Clown. While Georgie was first caught off guard by seeing a figure in the sewer, he couldn't help himself from taking a closer look...And thus, Stephen King gifted coulrophobia to generations of kids.Sister G, Kristina with a K and John dig into one of the seminal horror stories of the '80's. It was meant to be Stephen King's final statement on the horror genre. What's a better way to bid farewell to spooky stuff than bringing all of the monsters into the fold?

We know you've been watching the new show on HBO, so why not dig more into the novel with the Cold Ones gang? So, crack that cold one, and take a trip with us to Derry, if you dare.

In this chapter, Ned pushes further into his troubling pursuit of previewing the afterlife and contacting Courtney, guided by the spirit of Dr. Blackwell herself, who Ned's sister Ellen does not believe has her brother's safety and wellbeing in mind. She and her mother look to have Ned involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility before he completely sheds his "shell."

Edgar Wright's adaptation of a Stephen King book and 80s Arnold Action flick seemed like a perfect match, so why didn't this movie rise to the level of his very best? In episode 364, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they unpack what went right and what went wrong in the jump from page to screen. Topics include a rigid plot skeleton, a surprise cameo, some performances that divided our opinions, and finally cast votes on which they ultimately liked better: the book or the movie.

Jason Fuchs is the writer, co-creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner of HBO Max's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY. The series serves as a prequel to the successful IT films and explores the origins of the infamous killer clown Pennywise. Set in 1962, it follows a family that arrives in Derry, Maine, just as children begin to disappear. Jason made his feature writing debut with the box office hit ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT, which at the time of its release was the highest-grossing animated film internationally and made Jason the youngest screenwriter to have a film gross over $250M. He then went on to co-write Warner Brothers' acclaimed 2017 film WONDER WOMAN starring Gal Gadot. He also wrote New Line's IT: CHAPTER 2. In this interview, we talk about his adaptation work and how he approaches each project, his involvement with the IT universe, collaborating with Stephen King, long-form storytelling in TV, balancing fan expectation and originality, and much more.

In this spoiler-lite review, Jim takes on Swan Song by Robert McCammon — a 1987 post-apocalyptic dystopian horror novel that won a Bram Stoker Award and continues to be hailed by many readers as a classic. But does it hold up today? And does it really deserve the constant comparisons to Stephen King's The Stand?After a channel viewer recommended it — knowing The Stand is Jim's favorite King novel — he dove in. Did this end-of-the-world epic impress, or did it fall flat? Let's just say Jim has some thoughts… and they may not be the ones you expect.Join us for a spoiler-lite plot overview, honest reactions (including some unpopular opinions), and five reasons you might still enjoy this book, even if Jim didn't fully connect with it.If you enjoy thoughtful reviews, BookTube honesty, and a touch of good-natured snark, hit that Like, Subscribe, and tap the Notification Bell so you never miss an FFTA episode!

The Langoliers. Adapted from the Stephen King novella and directed by Tom Holland, the production follows a group of passengers on a redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston who awaken to find most of the plane's occupants gone and reality behaving in unfamiliar ways. The episode examines the story's structure, the performances by David Morse, Bronson Pinchot, and the ensemble cast, and the miniseries' place within 1990s television.The conversation also includes interviews with writer-director Tom Holland and Aristotelis Maragkos, whose film The Timekeepers of Eternity reconstructs The Langoliers into a monochrome, collage-style reinterpretation. They discuss the original production, the process behind Maragkos's adaptation, and how the two works speak to each other across different formats and eras.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
"I didn't think I'd be a good fit as a writer if they were going to do a PG version of the story. That's not where my strength lies, so the great thing is that the version Francis [Lawrence, the director] wanted to make was the version I wanted to write. A week later, we had a meeting with Lionsgate, we pitched the project, and they said, let's do it. So, it all happened very fast. It's really not common how smooth that process went," says screenwriter JT Mollner about sharing a clear vision with the film's director for making The Long Walk. On today's episode, we chat with JT Mollner best known for his movie Strange Darling (2023), told in six non-linear chapters, and now The Long Walk. We talk about the challenge and thrill of adapting Stephen King considering Mollner grew up mesmerized by Stephen King's books. He even read Carrie in second grade – a transgression that landed him in the principal's office for possessing obscene material. Mollner also shares a birthday with King so it seems like it was all meant to be. Mollner also shares that he made a decision early in the writing of the screenplay not to stray too far from Stephen King's beloved novel. "I wanted the focus of the movie to be the emotions, and the relationships. And so Francis and I talked about it, and instead of updating it completely, we decided to keep it aesthetically, sort of in the same place where the book was written. We wanted to be very, very faithful to the DNA, however, maybe in a deviated version of reality, where our country had gone in a very different direction at some point," he says. Mollner also talks about growing up in the family business of haunted houses and why he hasn't been interested in making a horror film – yet. To hear more, listen to the podcast.
The Langoliers. Adapted from the Stephen King novella and directed by Tom Holland, the production follows a group of passengers on a redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston who awaken to find most of the plane's occupants gone and reality behaving in unfamiliar ways. The episode examines the story's structure, the performances by David Morse, Bronson Pinchot, and the ensemble cast, and the miniseries' place within 1990s television.The conversation also includes interviews with writer-director Tom Holland and Aristotelis Maragkos, whose film The Timekeepers of Eternity reconstructs The Langoliers into a monochrome, collage-style reinterpretation. They discuss the original production, the process behind Maragkos's adaptation, and how the two works speak to each other across different formats and eras.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into The Green Mile, the powerful 1999 classic directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist). Set on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary during the Great Depression, the film follows veteran guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump, Cast Away) as he encounters a gentle giant of a prisoner whose presence changes everyone on the Mile forever. That prisoner is John Coffey, played by Michael Clarke Duncan (Armageddon, Daredevil), a man convicted of a horrific crime but possessing a mysterious, miraculous gift that seems to heal pain and reveal truth. As Paul and his fellow guards wrestle with faith, justice, and what it means to be truly good, the Green Mile becomes a place where the line between the human and divine blurs.

The Stephen King adaptations continue to roll in, the latest being this adaptation of his cheery 1979 Richard Bachman novel The Long Walk. Did we go along for the stroll though, or would we grind to a halt? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber
In this Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 special, Squeaks and Frank break down the first four episodes of the final season and talk about why the show somehow leveled up from what already felt like peak television. They revisit the fallout from Season 4, the new status quo in Hawkins under military lockdown, and how the kids have become a true high level party on the offensive instead of just surviving. The conversation hits character arcs for Will, Dustin, Eleven, Mike, Lucas, Max, Joyce, and Hopper, plus the return of Kali and what that might mean for the story. Frank and Squeaks trade theories on Vecna's real plan, Will's new powers, who might die before the end, and whether the Stranger Things theatrical finale is worth seeing in a packed theater. It is a spoiler packed, reference filled hangout for fans who just finished Part 1 and are already starving for more. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 – Intro & First Reactions Squeaks kicks off the Stranger Things special, Frank joins, and you both give your one word (or two word) reactions to Season 5 Part 1. 02:00 – Recap & Season 5 Setup Quick recap of Season 4's ending, Vecna's attack on Hawkins, the crater, the "crawl," and the military lockdown over the Upside Down rift. 05:40 – Will, Dustin & Character Arcs Deep dive into Dustin's grief and "Eddie mode," Will stepping up with new powers, and how some characters have evolved or stalled. 11:40 – Pacing, Max's Mindscape & Tone Talking through the pacing of Part 1, Max's inner "bubble" world, how the show balances horror, heart, and 80s vibes. 16:30 – Death Predictions & Who Might Go Theories on who could die in Part 2 and the finale, emotional stakes, and which characters feel expendable. 24:20 – Vecna's Entrance & Part 1 Finale Breakdown of Vecna's Vader-style entrance, revived Demogorgons, Will's power moment, and why the finale feels "next level." 32:40 – Hopper, Eleven & The Powered Kids Hopper and Eleven's relationship, trust and training, Kali's return, and ideas about Vecna building his own "lab" of powered children. 37:10 – Darker Themes & Fan Theories Discussion about trauma, possible subtext with Vecna/Henry, Stephen King influences, and how far the show might push it. 40:40 – Returning Faces & Endgame Ideas Speculation on seeing Barb, Eddie, Billy or others again, plus big theories about Will, Vecna, and the future of the Upside Down. 42:50 – Theater Finale, Ratings & Wrap-Up Chat about seeing the finale in theaters, New Year's Eve timing, your Eggo ratings for Season 5 Part 1, and closing thank-yous. Key Takeaways Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 somehow raises the bar on a show that already felt like peak TV, especially with the Part 1 finale. Hawkins has adjusted to life around the Upside Down crater, with the military putting a "bandage" on the wound and building a base to go on offense instead of just reacting. The kids function like a well oiled high level DnD party now, splitting up by quadrants, hunting Vecna, and understanding each other's strengths. Dustin's harsher attitude is framed as grief and guilt over Eddie's death, with Dustin trying to embody Eddie's rebellious spirit and sometimes missing the point. Will finally steps out of pure victim mode into a true powered role, with his connection to the hive mind unlocking abilities that visually mirror Vecna. There is a strong theory that Vecna is basically recreating the lab in his own way, turning traumatized children into his own numbered "program" of powered kids. Hopper and Eleven's relationship is one of the emotional anchors of the season, moving from overprotection to mutual trust as Hopper finally accepts that Eleven must fight. The show keeps a balance between heavy horror and comedy, with 80s style jokes, sexual innuendo, and teen banter that make the world feel lived in even as the apocalypse looms. Fans should brace for major losses in Part 2 and the finale, with Joyce, Mike, and Will all brought up as possible tragic sacrifices in different theories. The final two episodes are cinematic enough that a theatrical run makes sense, especially with big visual moments like Will's full power activation and Vecna's Vader style entrance. Memorable Quotes "The show was already at a caliber that I was thinking was like peak television, and somehow it elevated it." "The kids are a well oiled machine at this point. They are searching in different quadrants and have different plans on how to find Vecna and confirm that he is dead." "I think Will was a victim in the beginning, and now we see him as a badass. What victimized him is now his greatest asset." "Instead of a training montage where he slowly moves a cup, it is victim, victim, victim, not a victim. That flip makes the moment hit harder." "By the end of this first batch it felt like the end of Predator or Terminator. It is that big 80s action climax energy." "If Joyce dies, we get a montage of her saving Will and being the only one who believed he was alive. That is the kind of scene this show would absolutely do." "There always has to be a Vecna. If Vecna is gone, who else could control the Upside Down but Will now" Call to Action If you enjoyed this Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 breakdown, make sure you follow the show and hit subscribe so you do not miss our Part 2 reaction and finale coverage.

HUGE REVEALS THIS WEEK!! IT: Welcome to Derry Full Episode Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Roxy Striar, Tara Erickson, & Andrew Gordon dive into Episode 6 of IT: Welcome to Derry, the supernatural horror prequel set in 1962 Derry, Maine and developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs. After Episode 5's long-awaited Pennywise reveal, the back half of the season shifts into higher gear — escalating the town's paranoia, government interference, and the kids' desperate fight to understand what's living beneath Derry. Episode 6, “In the Name of the Father,” is officially confirmed as the next installment and continues the fallout from the Neibolt Street events. Public previews indicate a heavier focus on Dick Hallorann as he's forced to rely on his psychic “Shine” in the face of mounting evil, while the approaching tragedy of The Black Spot looms larger over Derry's future. Episode 6 leans into deeper IT-mythology — including hints toward Pennywise's unsettling human identity “Bob Gray” and new visions that blur the line between memory, fear, and manipulation. Key cast members driving the episode include: Bill Skarsgård (Barbarian, Hemlock Grove) as Pennywise / It, now emerging more openly as the town spirals; Jovan Adepo (Babylon, Creed II) as Leroy Hanlon; Taylour Paige (Zola, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) as Charlotte Hanlon; Chris Chalk (Perry Mason, Gotham) as Dick Hallorann, whose connection to the Shine ties directly into Derry's evil, & More. With Pennywise's influence spreading, Derry's institutions fracturing, & the kids pushing closer to the truth at huge personal cost, Episode 6 promises more lore, bigger scares, and a nasty ramp-up toward the season's final catastrophe.

(Parte 3 de 3)El Umbral de la Noche (Night Shift en su título original) es un compilado (el primero, de hecho) de Stephen King que fue publicado en el año de 1978.Muchas personas le consideran el mejor libro compilatorio de King; ya que casi todos los relatos han tenido una adaptación audiovisual; cinematográficas en algunos casos.[TEXTO PENDIENTE DE EDICIÓN]
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 1, 2025 is: pseudonym SOO-duh-nim noun A pseudonym is a name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of their real name. // bell hooks is the pseudonym of the American writer Gloria Jean Watkins. See the entry > Examples: “Edgar Wright, the filmmaker and genre specialist who has given the world modern gems like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver, estimates he was around 13 years old when he read ‘the Bachman Books,' a collection of four novels that Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman during the early years of his career.” — Don Kaye, Den of Geek, 9 Oct. 2025 Did you know? Pseudonym has its origins in the Greek adjective pseudōnymos, which means “bearing a false name.” French speakers adopted the Greek word as the noun pseudonyme, and English speakers later modified the French word into pseudonym. Many celebrated authors have used pseudonyms. Samuel Clemens wrote under the pseudonym “Mark Twain,” Charles Lutwidge Dodgson assumed the pseudonym “Lewis Carroll,” and Mary Ann Evans used “George Eliot” as her pseudonym.
If AI can do everything from writing novels to designing proteins, what remains that only humans can do? What's the human advantage in a world where machines can outperform us at almost any measurable task? What does any of this have to do with Stephen King’s nightmares, Tom Cruise’s stunts, the first shoeshine caught on camera, the shortage of air conditioner repairmen, and why hyper-capable AI might actually increase the demand for unexpected jobs? Today we speak with author and technologist Andrew Mayne.
IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 6 “In the Name of the Father” ends by teasing one of the most disturbing episodes referenced in Stephen King‘s It and by officially introducing a terrifying clown we've already seen snatches of on the HBO show.Hosted by Ausha.

Dive into our spoiler-filled breakdown of the 2025 adaptation of The Running Man. We analyze Edgar Wright's fresh take, compare it to the Schwarzenegger classic and the original Stephen King story, and tackle the divisive The Running Man 2025 reviews. Was this movie unfairly maligned for being too real, or did it miss the mark? We explore its tone, social satire, and why it might be one of the most relevant films of the year. In this episode, we discuss: How this 2025 adaptation compares to the original Schwarzenegger film and its faithfulness to the Stephen King novella. The film's potent social satire and why its dystopian themes of class warfare and media manipulation feel "way too fucking real." A deep dive into the divisive critical reception and audience reviews—and why we think they got it wrong. Did you find the 2025 version of The Running Man to be a clever satire or a tonal mess?

You may not be interested in the horror genre, but you still might enjoy Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Carl Sederholm—the best apologist I've heard for why horror can be such an insightful and meaningful genre. For one, it trusts young protagonists with frightening "adult" problems. It also explores the fears we keep tucked in our subconscious, giving us a safe space to confront them. And sometimes, it even provides a strange kind of anxiety relief by letting us see that someone else's day is going much worse than our own. In this book, nine-year-old Tricia becomes lost in the woods of Maine, tormented by mosquitoes, spooked by mangled deer heads, and ultimately confronted by the bear of her nightmares, the "God of the Lost." Facing what seem like impossible hurdles, Tricia survives in part because of her unwavering admiration for her baseball hero, Tom Gordon. His God becomes the one she believes can carry her through. And even if the book isn't always enjoyable, the ending is the icing on an otherwise unsavory cake. But you have to make the survival trek to appreciate it. In my opinion, it's totally worth it.
