THE SHINING Spare Tire Cover
This is great! I spotted this at the Stephen King Constant Reader club. Reposted with permission from Michael Coon. He noted, "My cousins wife took this pic." Imagine pulling in behind this! You wouldn't drive too close to this guy, would you?
Creepshow Cup
In full disclosure -- David Marancik shared this on Mark Pavia's timeline. Mark Pavia is the director of Night Flier.
As for the cup. . . that's totally cool! Why? Because it's unique.
CARRIE is still floating around out there!

The Night Flier: Tone

I like this movie. A lot. Since it's not a flick you're likely to just jump right into, let me sell this one a little bit!
Night Flyer is based on a Stephen King short story. The movie is straight horror. That doesn't mean there isn't character development, or some good drama -- but this baby is really about a very nasty vamp. Not the kind you'll meet in Twilight, I mean the real kind of vampire. The breed you should be scared of -- not the type you'd ever want to smooch with.
What I really like is the tone. That's really hard to explain isn't it? But I just like the feeling this movie gives me. A reporter chasing a murderer who owns a plane. Lots of rainy scenes. Smoke filled bars. Low life reporters.
There is one particularly wonderful scene that stands out above -- well, most anything I've seen! When Stephen King wrote Dreamcatcher, he noted that we make some pretty terrible discoveries in the bathroom. Well, it's in the potty that we get to see an invisible vampire taking a potty break. So how do we SEE that? He's peeing blood. And that's all you see! I thought that was worth the entire movie!

NIGHT FLIER FRIGHT FACT: In the scene where Katherine is looking at Richard's bylines, the framed copies of "Inside View" contain many references to other stories by Stephen King: "Springhill Jack Strikes Again!" - Strawberry Spring. "Headless Lamaze Leads To Successful Birth!" - The Breathing Method. "Kiddie Cultists in Kansas Worship Creepy Voodoo God!" - Children of the Corn "Satanic Shopkeeper Sells Gory Goodies!" - Needful Things. "Naked Demons Levelled My Lawn!" - The Lawnmower Man "The Ultimate Killer Diet! Gypsy Curse Flays Fat Lawyer's Flesh" - Thinner.Behind the scenes footage:

Salem's Lot The Ultimate Terror
“Alone. Yes, that’s the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn’t hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.”
— Salem's Lot by Stephen King
Mr. Mercedes Looks Like A Thriller
I'm really looking forward to Mr. Mercedes. I find the line in Kings info about the book interesting, "from the master of suspense--" Sounding pretty Hitchcockian there, Mr. King!
From King's Facebook page:
Mr. Mercedes, June 2014
In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands.
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging agai...n. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.
In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.
Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands.
Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.

Remember that photo. . .
Here are some old photos making their rounds again. . .

This one is from Lilja's Library:
PENNYWISE Is Alive
Pennywise might have been chased off from Derry Maine, but he's not dead! The evil clown has been making appearances throughout the United Kingdom borough of Northampton.
Shea Bennett of Media Bistro says, "Residents are, as you’d imagine, spooked, and you can understand why – imagine seeing this guy standing outside your window?"
Indeed, the clown has become so popular that a Facebook Page erected on Friday has already picked up more than 25,000 Likes, with the clown using Facebook to update fans, as well as fend off a few slightly sensationalised reports.
As for why he’s doing all of this, that still remains unclear. But, as we can see from the photos, he has balloons. So, I guess the only question that really matters, is…(Source: www.mediabistro.com)
Now. . . a question -- If you saw Pennywise, would you pause to take a picture? Well, I probably would. But I don't think I'd have the courage to go up and say howdy. Just for fear of hearing him say, "They float!"
And -- another question -- does anyone think the British Pennywise is perhaps a bit more, eh, scary than the American versions? I don't know why, but I find that clown just flat out creepy. And that's not to put down Curry's performance in the mini-series. In fact, it's probably good Curry didn't look that scary, or I would have died watching it.
UPDATE: Here's a story about IT from CNN:
