If there is one writer who's indelibly linked to horror, it'd have to be Stephen King.  And when you're as skilled- and prolific a writer as Stephen King, there will inevitably be adaptations of your writing. So, today, I present you my " Top Five Stephen King Adaptations "! 1.  " The Dead Zone " (1983)-  Directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Christopher Walken, this is one of my favorites.  It is a well crafted, and spooky retelling of the story of a man who becomes psychic after an accident, and whose life get entangled with that of a politician who's fated to destroy the world. 2.  " Misery " (1990)-  One of the most faithful adaptations of a story about a writer who meets his "number one fan" after she rescues him from a car accident.  Starring Kathy Bates, and James Caan, director Rob Reiner gives us a slow burning, tale of horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat.  The sledgehammer scene especially is shudder in...

If you're a collector, then you're all aware of what Funko Pops are- "cute" little figures based on all sorts of movie, television, and comic book characters.  Well, I've compiled a list of the Top Five Horror Funko Pops I Want... Alien Face Hugger-  Let's start with one from one of my favorite franchises: "Aliens".  The Face Hugger is an iconic alien terror that brings tremors of fear to pretty much anyone that thinks about what it does to you. But hey, it's also giving you free hugs, so it's not ALL bad... right? I don't think a collector of "Aliens" merch would wish to NOT have this one in their inventory. And let's face it... it's kinda cute... in a creepy sort of way, right? Right Ash-  Seriously, given my love of horror and comedy, you all had to expect that Ash from the "Evil Dead" franchise would be on this list. This one just looks really cool, with Ash bearing his tr...

Monsters are a staple in the horror genre.  They predate written history.  They serve as warnings about the dangers in the world around us- and the dangers inside us.  They scare us, and they fascinate us.  They are the first true horrors of the genre. So, with that in mind, I present a list of five legendary monsters I'd like to see in a movie: 1.  Sea Bishop:  A sea creature claimed to have been captured in the 16th Century, and presented to King of Poland and some Bishops.  It was half fish, and half human.  Upon being released into the sea again, it made the sign of the cross and disappeared 2.  Gorgon:  Any of the Gorgon Sisters.  Women that had been cursed with a face that turned people to stone, and a head of writhing, hissing, venomous snakes for hair. 3.  Jinn:  Arabian spirits that can either be demonic, or angelic.  The basis of the spirit called a genie. 4.  Minotaur:  A man with a b...
