Master of horror, craptastic at endings.

The majority of his endings to his story blow serious goatass.

You think he doesn't know how to end his stories. Is that why they are so long? Maybe

Fonceai · Dec 15, 2006, 01:56 pm

Either he's bad at endings, or he takes so long to write them that his deadlines approach and he has to pencil whip them.

Really... a big spider at the end of "It"... the hand of God at the end of "The Stand"... "The Shining"... "Stand By Me"... a lot of the older ones just kind of... I dunno... end.

The creepiest in my memory is Aliens.

My favorite movie. Though I will say that I thought the first was better as far as horror movies are concerned. Everything in the cinematography was geared toward horror while the second was geared toward action and drama.

I guess that's why I liked the second better as an all around movie but the first better as an actual horror movie.

Those things kept coming at me in my dreams...:eek:

BTW has anyone noticed that most of the horror movies coming out these days are slasher, all gore films, I cant stand those kinds of movies, they all have somewhat of the same plot, teenagers on vacation who run into some trouble, some crazy guy captures them and tortures them, and its usally some dumb bitch that survives and instead of doing what most normal people would do she does something completly stupid and it back fires on her.

This is not true at all. 10 or 5 years ago, this was true, but today's horror movies are completely different. Today's horror movies always involve creepy little supernatural children.

There were many movies I remember that scared the hell out of me when I was like 8 and 9 or somewhere around that age. I used to love them around 11 and on to now. I just love watching the tenseness part of the movies. I think that Dawn of the Dead was an exceptional movie that I watched, although it hardly made any sense at all. I also liked Pulse. That was good. I really want to go and see Black Christmas coming out in theaters. I think it looked pretty cool from the previews. Although I remember watching a bunch of completely retarded horror movies such as Fear of Clowns. When I watched it I was like WTF? I remember my friends telling me about how apparently Gothika was a good movie when it first came out. I hated it, it sucked out loud. I remember the first time when I watched Freddy VS. Jason t hough. It was somewhat scary in some parts but it other wise wasn't overall that scary to me. I did like the series of movies known as "Halloween".

The Amityville Horror was scarry as hell.

That's why some of the better Stephen King movies are his non-horror ones.

We all know what the classics are. Even my former academic advisor likes Dolores Claiborn and he's your typical literature professor when it comes to Stephen King.

Ahhhhh... that was a good one. Very good.

Stand By Me was flipping awesome.

I think what makes those movies good is that Stephen King is great at conveying a sense of intensity in his writing. Cinematically, that intensity doesn't translate well in his horror stories.

If you wish to kill me, hate me, and detest me in an unsightly way, then run. Run and cling to life. 9 out of 10 Americans agree that 1 out of 10 disagrees with the others.
