Stephen King Movie Marathon: The Boogeyman (Short 1982)
Review: This movie was made via Stephen King’s “Dollar Baby” program, where he sold the non-exclusive rights to one of his stories (from the collection Night Shift) to independent filmmakers for $1.

Review: As movie adaptations go, especially Stephen King adaptations, this is one has been very much talked about in the past 44 years, since its release in 1980! Stephen King hated it, the late Shelley Duvall (who recently passed away) was bullied by Kubrick while filming and almost left… The movie had its issues… and…

Stephen King Movie Marathon: Carrie (1976)
Review: So I decided to do a Stephen King Movie Marathon in 2024. It’ll probably take me a lot of months and I might not be able to see/find all the movies/miniseries but I’ll do my best… and where better to start than at the beginning: with Carrie! Carrie was King’s first novel, he almost…
