So they cancelled the IT movie but here's why

I proposed my kids I will take them on Friday, may have to get a little lit up now.

That movie prevented us from being able to see the future "batman begins" of the horror genre.

Can you point me to the best stories and what genre they are

The Stand and The Shining are my personal favorites. I'd probably reccommend starting with The Shining, as The Stand clocks in at well over 1000 pages, so it may not be the most accessible entryway to King's work.

Salem's Lot and Pet Sematary also also well worth checking out as a starting point.

Poltergeist looked like a straight to Sci-Fi film.
Not surprised people didn't spend money to go see that.

Its doing pretty decent. I have no interest though

 

[jwinfield]

Also, I wasn't digging for who they casted for Pennywise anyway....

They initially had Danny Rayburn though and he left after they asked him to take a substantial paycut.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

nothing surprises me anymore after those Sony Pictures leaks

 

[DaveyDave]

People might disagree but I think they should just get Tim Curry to reprise the role. The character is in full make-up anyway.

If you're interested in reading horror/weird ficion, but are new to it start with the short story collections. That way you don't have a 800-1000 page investment.

"Skeleton Crew" and "The Night Shift" are Stephen King's best short story collections. Also read Clive Barker's "The Books Of Blood". There's 6 parts to it which seems like a lot but each volume has 4-6 stories. Both of those guys were running shyt back then.

I'm hoping to start it this weekend. I really liked the Harry D'amour character and Pinhead is iconic so I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the shyt out of this book.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through it. Barker lost a few steps since the 80's but this is as close as he's came to that in 20+ years.
