Sometimes, writers find their supporting and secondary characters are the more fascinating ones than the main protagonists and the main villains. In the Stephen King universe, there have been numerous characters that have come and went. Take how King introduced us to Sheriff George Bannerman in The Dead Zone only to kill him off asContinue reading “‘Never Flinch’ Never Rises To Top Of Stephen King’s Best Works”

‘House Of My Mother’ A Memoir Of Abuse And Horrors
According to Judd Apatow, one of the reasons his show Freaks and Geeks failed is because NBC refused to allow a website to be created. It was 30 years ago when I first saw a http link used in an advertisement for the digitally remastered VHS boxed set of the Star Wars trilogy.

‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Series Remain Some Of The Best
Like most people, I was very disappointed with the 2019 loose adaptation of the book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The three books published over a 10-year period from Oct. 14, 1981 to Sept. 1, 1991 were some of the true terrifying stories for young people.

Comic and actor Richard Lewis died last month from a heart attack while suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. For about 30 years, he had been mostly clean and sober as he battled alcoholism and drug abuse in his earlier life.

And On Earth Peace
It’s one of those stories that you never hear about even though it’s been recanted by President Reagan, Reader’s Digest and featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Maybe the reason it hasn’t been made into a movie is that it’s just a story of several people coming together to have a dinner. But when you think aboutContinue reading “And On Earth Peace”
