It's kind of amazing: this 40-year-old collection of short stories has generated literally dozens of movies, and in this special "storytelling episode," we talk a bit about all those that have already been adapted … and then re-tell each other a few of the best that have yet to be seen on any screen, including a prequel and sequel to Salem's Lot, a couple of twisted romance storiesk and one of King's creepiest monsters ever. No homework required on this one; just jump right in and be reminded of just what a great storyteller this guy can be ...

A little bit about a whole lot of things in this short, solo Mini-Episode. Creepshow is abut to premiere on Netflix ... there's a very recognizable name who's been chosen to play big, bad Randall Flagg in the remake of The Stand ... there are brand new trailers for In the Tall Grass and Castle Rock, and there's even loose talk about a possible IT Number Three from someone who might actually know a thing 'r two about evil clowns. All that and more in this week's Mini-Episode!

All the multiversal tie-ins, all the untold stories, all the drama and terror that didn't makeit into either adaptation of IT ... right here! We tell the stories still hiding in the original novel that deserve some attention, revealing connections to everything from The Shining to The Gunslinger to The End of All The Whole Mess. In-depth and outta control -- as usual! 

We talk a lot about Joe Hill and all the books, TV shows, movies, and comic books -- yes, comic books! -- he has in the works, not to mention a new trailer for Castle Rock, Season 2, more on The Institution, and a great story about Patton Oswalt turning into a werewolf while skydiving and fighting Mutant Butterfly Hitler ...

Late but worth the wait: our exploration (and we admit it: celebration) of IT: Chapter One, as the first part of our three-episode ITstravaganza. Amazing acting from a perfectly chosen cast, in a careful, thoughtful, and admittedly risky adaptation of a damn difficult book. We go up, down, and all around, as we prepare to drink in Chapter Two ...

The dates, times, and secret passwords (no really) for our ongoing ITstravaganza, some great quotes from a new interview with King in Rolling Stone (his first!), and some weird and wonderful casting news about who'll be playing Holly Gibney in HBO's series based on The Outsider. Spoiler alert: you'll be surprised!

Cat is trapped (temporarily, we hope) in the Derry Museum of Arts and Crafts (and you get to hear the ad we produce for them a while back), and we have news about yet ANOTHER new movie based on a so-far-unproduced King story. Plus a very strange, true tale of Pennywise visiting someone's back yard, entirely uninvited... catch up!

It started as an incomplete sample in King's nonfiction book On Writing, then "seduced" him into completing it, turning it into a complex and harrowing short story in Everything's Eventual, Years later, it became the 2007 John Cusack/Samuel L. Jackson hallucination, 1408. Two very different but equally satisfying versions of the story, and one of Cat's favorite King tales and adaptations. We talk about it at length this week. Definitely one of the forgotten treasures of the Multiverse!

Returning graphic novels from the maters, hidden King mini-series you have to go searching for, yet ANOTHER King novel being made into a TV series and more. It's the newest Mini-Episode with all the latest King news, and a solid endorsement from a new horror/actoin comedy that 'most every King fan will love. Enjoy!
