How the Master of Horror became the ultimate Geek King

Stephen King didn’t just write horror — he defined it. From Carrie to It, The Shining to Shawshank, King’s stories built an entire universe of fear, magic, and monsters that shaped every geek kid who ever stayed up too late with a flashlight and a paperback.

In this episode, Steve Scarfo and Jeff Shaw — your resident Gen X geeks — dive headfirst into the Stephen King multiverse: the books, the movies, the flops, and the freaky brilliance that made him the undisputed King of Nightmares.

Featuring Joey Quartuccio for the GEEK FLASHBACK!

“If you survived Derry, hit follow.”

Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for anyone who rolled their first d20 on shag carpet, waited hours for a comic book JPEG to load on dial-up, and wore the label “geek” back when it got you mocked, not monetized.

Hosted by stand-up comic Steve Scarfo and Forever DM Jeff Shaw, we dive deep into what it meant to be a geek in the '70s and '80s—and how that underground culture became the mainstream multiverse we live in today.
