I saw all three of the original movies here, in the theatre. They were hardly
empty. They just have no ideas, hence the sequels/adaptations/remakes.
Any word on the Brenda Starr thing Brooke Shields was working on?
How about "Boris and Natasha" with Sally Kellerman?

Scott,
	I would love to get my hands on that Stephen King Encyclopedia! If you
find out what book that story "Sneakers" is in, let me know. Before I started
making my list, I didn't know about these two King things (though I did not
list a few things that I really enjoyed reading because I forgot about them at
the time!). Happy reading!

I'm sure I spaced and missed some discussion about the new film 'Candyman,' 
but I can't find it mentioned in over 200 back articles.  

Anyway, does anyone know much about the film plot wise?  The ads are very
intruiguing to me as it's not being billed as a gore/splatter flick, but I 
can tell it is a horror movie.  Also having a local sneak preview here on
Thursday night at midnight, I kind of want to get an idea of what I'm going
to have to wait in line for.  Clive Barker was also mentioned in the 
commerical, what role did he have in the making of this film?  Thanks in
advance.

Thanks for your time,
Eric

Seeing as there are so many different versions of the Necronomicon around,
why don't "we" (interested people on Usenet) make our own? This is a damn
vague idea, true, but there are lots of creative people out there, many of
them with lots of time on their hands (to judge by the traffic on talk.
bizarre, alt.cascade etc). If Colin Wilson and L Sprague de Camp can make
up a Necronomicon, so can we! All the fake scholarly answers that have
been posted in response to naive posters asking "Is the Necronomicon real,
after all?" could be collated, together with some purported rituals,
texts by Abdul Alhazred, etc.

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 05:58:14 GMT

I've always felt that Rob Reiner does the best jobs with King's work, albeit 
he's only done 'Stand By Me' and 'Misery,' but they are both accurate in
bringing King to the big screen.  If I'm not mistaken, he's also the only
director to make more then 1 King movie.

Misery was great giving the fact that almost the whole movie and the majority
of plot development takes place in one setting: the bedroom.  James Cahn(I
think the actor's name is...*slap*) does a excellent job having to sit in the
bed or a wheelchair for the movie.  Also, I'm not sure who she was going up
against that year, but Kathy Bates did win an academy award for her portrayal
of Annie Wilkes.  All in all, Misery isn't my favorite king book, a really good
work,  but I think it was handled the best by Hollywood.

'It' and 'Salem's Lot' were made for tv, I don't expect too much from them.
Though I still rememebr the boy sitting up in his coffin(which was in between
the 2 parts) and him floating and scratching at his bro's window.  Still
gives me shiver.  'Children of the Corn' was just plain *horrid* IMHO.  I'd
probably vote it as the *worst* King adaptation to film(any other votes for
this category?). I also liked 'Pet Semetary' where many people did not.  True
it's been a while since I read the book, but I couldn't remember anything too
major being altered except the end. . . the novel's ending was classic and
that is where the film should have left it. . . leaves a lot more to one's
imagination.

Thanks for the time,
Eric

I know what you mean.  I found the second collection, _Still_Dead_, more
consistent in this area--that is, the original Romero worldview is so
well-maintained, I had an impression that all the tales were taking
place in the same universe--at different places, in different times,
but the same universe.  It's wonderfully gory, too.  :-)

'Graveyard Shift' _is_ something you could add to the Screenplays section, but
it is a short story in "Night Shift", not a novel. Just adding my 2 cents
again! Happy reading, all!!!

Yes, we'll have to see. One thing I did find interesting is that the

Looks interesting, but I ain't making no bets. Barker wrote the short
story that the script is supposedly based on. Nobody seems to be able
to direct a good movie from his ideas, but him. See Hellraiser 3 for 
proof. 
Has Barker got any new upcoming films scheduled?

What amazes me, is the way the director dropped elements of the book that
would have been ideal for the movie.  Like the part where the priest walks
up to the door of the Vampire's house and the cross nearly arc-welds the door
knob.  Maybe they couldn't afford some special effects for the TV movie :).
The director also dropped one of the more unique twists to an old story that 
King is so good at adding.  The part where the cross doesn't work against the
vampire because his faith is weak, so it's not the symbol of the cross but
the priest's faith that is the real power against evil.
I was really disappointed that these two parts were left out,  they really 
added to the book.

Except for the ending - the book was much better than the movie.
The movie makers took all the suspense out of one of the scariest parts
of the book.  It was, IMHO, one of the most faithful translations of a
Stephen King book to a movie.
Hopefully, no one will try to make Gerald's game into a movie!

From the latest Fangoria, the movie doesn't have a title yet.  

I don't know who told me that but he's right.  The release date has been 
pushed to August 13, 1993.

Thanks for all the info already!  I rushed over to my bookcase and 'The
Forbidden' wasn't in any of my 'Books of Blood' but it was in 'In the Flesh.'
Which in actuality, I assume to be the 4th 'Book of Blood.'  It has a nice
cover though, flying eyeballs, a guy split in half with bees/wasps flying out
of him and toungues coming out of his eye sockets...YUMMY  Oh yah, he seems
to be in extreme pain(no doubt).  Thanks again for the info and if I actually
get in line early enough to see it( it's a free showing) I'll post something
about it.

Thanks for the time,
Eric
