Way back memory lane with all the classic stuff on King I had to pick up this paperback on his movies. The book is from 1987 and you'll find all the classics here: Carrie, Salem's Lot, Shining (one of my alltime favorites), Creepshow, Cujo (beware of the rabid dog), Dead Zone (a superb Christopher Walken), Christine (remember that cool bad to the bone soundtrack, Arthur's transformation and jealous Christine?), Children of the Corn (the police man scarecrow), Fire Starter, Cat's Eye, Silver Bullet, Stand By Me (still brilliant) or Maximum Overdrive (tune to Who Made Who by AC/DC). Well, all those movies are childhood memories. Went to the rental store and rented them all. Nice to see them come back again, so many years later, with all the information on directors, actors, photographs and background stories. Highly recommended. You can't miss those movies when you grew up in the 80s.
