Jackson and was a huge box office success in 2007. The short story "Children of the Corn" was adapted into the popular Children of the Corn. The Mangler was inspired by King's loathing for laundry machines from his own experience working in a laundromat. Hearts in Atlantis (based on "Low Men in Yellow Coats," the first part of the novel Hearts in Atlantis) starred Anthony Hopkins. This collection features new commentary and introductions to all of these stories in a treasure-trove of movie trivia. 3625624 27 1 2009 Stephen King Goes to the Movies total:104|5:20|4:33|3:33|2:12|1:6| 104 361 242 29 4 1 false false Fri Apr 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 15:14:57 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 15:25:07 -0700 2009 On Writing and the ever so classic and insightful Danse Macabre -- but alas, what King fans get ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 08:08:28 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 08:08:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Mar 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 08:14:29 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 17:02:09 -0700 2009
