A night at the movies:Stephen King2011
TCM TV airing
A night at the movies is a regular series of specials on the amazing Turner Classic Movies channel. And this October they did one with Stephen King. Running right at an hour long it is a must see for any fan of Mr King's work.
We get Mr King sitting down and telling us all about the various horror cinema he loves. Starting with the stuff he saw as a kid at Saturday morning double features,then at the drive-in,and finally up to modern day. He divides it up in segments like Vampires,supernatural,etc. In some ways this comes off as a update/follow up to his great non-fiction book Danse Macabre. Mr King is great at getting to the root of why certain things scare most people. And that part is my favorite thing in the documentary.
I have no idea when this will be aired again. I bet next year in October TCM will show it again. A night at the movies:Stephen King gets a B-.
