I can't wait to see it.
When I was at summer camp as a kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old, a counselor told us the Mist story around the campfire late at night. It's surreal to remember that night, I wasn't the only one who had trouble sleeping from how great the story was told. It was so awesome.

frank darabont has been trying to make his adaptation of the mist for years. it lacks solid actors he cast in shawshank redemption or even green mile but i am excited to see it based on that trailer. but then again, it just might be the music that makes it look so good.

stephen king doesn't really describe the bad things, he lets you imagine the appearance but they always ruin it in movie/tv show by making cgi creatures. i don't get why they do it, there's movies out there that never lets you see the bad thing.

if these are just the children of Shelob and not full-on demon shape-shifting spiders, then screw this fillum and its 'scariness'.

I just hate how their is zero moral ambiguity in King's stories. Not very horrific in my words when the guy that deserves it gets his commupance and the good guy stays good...it's like fairy tales, not horror tales. I need moral ambiguity in mine to make the horror, you know, all horrific and shit...when good things happen to bad people and vice versa - just like real horror in the real world...

god punishes bad people and rewards good people. that's how it's always been. everyone knows that.

You guys never read "Misery"? Or this past summer's "Blaze"?
Beautiful, "bad" characters are the driving force of those stories.

OK...fine..I'll give you misery and the dead zone and I'll throw that 70's car flick in for nostalgas sake. Years back an ex-girlfriend made me read that whole nuclear disaster book of his...god was that fucking awful...I think NBC made a miniseries out of it or something...

the original fog movie scared the holy hell out of me as a kid. so much in fact that for years after i got my license while driving at night in the fog i'd have images of those fuckers getting me through the car.

This is obviously the religiously fanatical vs what they don't understand or what doesn't directly relate to the bible ie. The Mist.
Don't go out there, you'll die. And you will cry to God..
Its more entertaining than church though.
