With September on the way out, it's time to start thinking spooky. So, we thought it was the ideal time to celebrate 30 years of Misery! That's right, the Stephen King book-turned Rob Reiner movie has hit a milestone anniversary, so we decided to put it on the analysis table—but we didn't hobble it. This story of a romance author held captive by his number one fan resonates as much in 2020 as it did in 1990. We're talking Stephen King, Annie Wilkes, fan culture, and much more as we prepare the foundation for a very special Shocktober 9.
