S2 E12 - 1970s STEPHEN KING

About this episode

This episode discusses Stephen King's film and TV adaptations from the 1970s, including a review of The Shining.

Ready for a slight change-up in format? This episode Slinky Giallo, the lovely Erin Dawn and S. Michael don't discuss a single film as per usual but rather the Master of Horror himself, Mr. Stephen King, particularly his film/TV adaptations of the 1970s (yes, we know The Shining was released in 1980, but it was FILMED in the '70s, so relax), including Carrie, Salem's Lot, and yes, The Shining. We expect our review of The Shining may raise a few mainstream eyebrows, so check out our hot takes, the effect of nostalgia goggles on our retrospectives, and yeah...the Scared Shit List x3!
