The Exorcist Top, Next is Shinning
October 30, 2008
That is sad, but I never knew that The Shinning (1980, starring Jack Nicolson) was the first..
According to the new surver conducted, The Exorcism tops the scare list followed by The Shinning and Alien is next.
Here’s what we read:
he Exorcist, William Friedkin’s iconic 1973 movie, has been voted the best horror film ever made, according to a new poll of British filmgoers. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, the 1980 film of Stephen King’s classic novel, was placed second in the survey, followed by Ridley Scott’s 1979 movie Alien.
Four other films in the top 10 were released between 1970 and 1984 – Wicker Man (1973), The Omen (1976),Halloween (1978) and Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
The three others featuring at the top of the list were The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Ring (1998 and Saw (2004)).
FW Murnau’s Nosferatu is the oldest film on the list, having been released in 1922, while The Mist and Shutter, the DVD versions of which were released this year, are the most recent.
More than 6000 people were surveyed by entertainment retailer HMV on its website between September 19 and October 20 for the poll.
Lisey’s Story
October 15, 2008
Yesterday, I bought this new book from Superstore/Metrotown in Burnaby Canada. This is my newest addtition to my collection of Stephen King books. I forgot to blog about this last night, been busy listening and dowloading mp3 streaming music, specially Nessun Dorma.
Here’s a picture of me holding my new and shinny little big book.
Nice eh? I finally going to know what’s they’ve (Stephen King fans) been talking about. They said that this book is great. I bet it is.
Looks like making money online will have to wait a little longer. 
Even though I miss Angel Locsin and Marian Rivera, I have to read about Lisey Landon’s adventure to Juno Beach.
The Stand: The Graphical Novel
September 28, 2008
That’s me with my newest addition to my Stephen King collection.. Marvel Comic’s The Stand! Amazing! Bought it in Vancouver Canada for $4.25 CND
Already blogged about this on my other blog, read other details there. Also mentioned there something about redtube and xhamster but there really is no connection. Will dowload the movie The Stand to further remember the genius of Mr. Stephen King.
Happy Birthday to Mr. Stephen King
September 21, 2008
I’m sorry I forgot, I just read from some blog that it’s Mr. King’s birthday! So with a quick post (and flight of the bumblebee music background) I would like to greet my super idol, Stephen King, Happy 61st Birthday! (Don’t worry, that’s still young, insurance claiming is way over there still.)
Please sign my books?
Children of the Corn Remake
September 17, 2008
honestly, I haven’t seen the movie nor read the Stephen King book “Children of the Corn” so I’m not really sure if the movie is great (but the book must be great.. 
)
“Children of the Corn” was originally one of King’s short stories that was later compiled in the anthology “Night Shift.” The 1984 film based on the story starred Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton. Many sequels have followed.
I’ve read that the book will have a remake movie? Let’s wait and see

The Shining TV Special
August 18, 2008
It was April 1 of this year (or May31, something) when I first saw the movie The Shining, the original, which starring Jack Nicholson.
The other day I bought the DVD of The Shining TV special which aired sometime on 1997 (Jack Nicholson movie was 1980, btw). Yesterday we watched the whole 6 hour/3 DVD set!
It was great!
You can read my post about it on my movie blog and on my daddy blog…
Just want to mention here that I prefer the TV special, not that I don’t like Jack N. I do,.. it just that the TV is better, imho. Plus Stephen King directs it.
Also, just want to mention here that there was no mortgage and refinancing story about the Overlook hotel. Movies showing there was also not about Redtube and TUbe8 ok? Just want to make it straight.

Stephen King’s Original Series ‘N’
August 2, 2008
Mr. Stephen King has this unfinished, unpublished short story that is being released on original graphic video called simply “N”.
The 25-part animated film are being shown every weekday which started this week until August 29, 2008!
This is exciting news for all Stephen King fans out there!
The (new and upcoming) videos can be seen on free at nishere.com. It’s also available for purchase on iTunes.
Here’s the first part of the series of that much talked about graphic film.. here’s episode 1 take from utube video collection:
Here’s a few qoutes from the video/dialogue:
“Burn This”
“Dear Charlie, IT’s seems strange and perfectly natural to call you that although the last time I saw you, I was half that age I am now and you were the preeminent medical expert.”
“I opened it. I wish I hadn’t”
The Talisman TV Special on 2009
July 29, 2008
Found this on UTube when I was browsing for anything interesting to watch… (Interesting to watch? Badjojo and Yuvutu? Kidding..:D)
Currently, I’m reading the paperback version of it. When I saw this, it got me all excited.. I’m a stephen king fan, obviously.
Stephen King’s “The Stand” (along side “The Dark Tower” masterpiece of course) are considered by fans as Mr. Kings Magnum Opus.
The recent news has it that after the highly adaptation of “The Gunslinger” into a graphic novel, Marvel will be doing the same for the classic apocalyptic novel “The Stand”
The production will oversee the whole project being the acting as a creative supervisor, and it’s going to be written by Roberto Sacasa, with art by Mike Perkins and covers by Lee Berjemo.
The first issue will be released by September of this year
There are unanswered question still:
- How many issues will the series run?
- Is this going to be a direct adaptation?
- Or is it going to be like The Dark Tower in that it will be a kind of spin-off?
Stephen King fans are surely excited about this! Including me! I have my own set of The Gunslinger marvel comics myself!
