Stephen King | The Bedlam Files

2022: The Year in Bedlam

The latest installment of my annual Year in Bedlam overview

Stephen King adapts THE KINGDOM, and not very well

My 20 favorite Halloween movies (no, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS and HOCUS POCUS aren’t on it)

If you’re a reader of horror fiction the chances are better-than-average that you’re at least partially familiar with the writings of Peter Straub

A reworking of the mid-nineties TV miniseries THE LANGOLIERS that transforms it into an unnerving depiction of otherworldly insanity

In the category of memoirs written by fourteen year olds LITTLE GIRL LOST is about average

A three-parter from the eighties, scripted by Stephen King, that should be better.

A 1992 movie that, hard though it might seem to believe thirty years later, once seemed pretty cool

This is perhaps the key nonfiction text of the Horror Boom of the 1970s and 80s

An action-oriented vampire odyssey that’s equal parts Bram Stoker and Sam Peckinpah
