All That's Left to Know About the King of Horror on Film

Check out the www.horrortalk.com review of Scott Von Doviak's book, ""Stephen King Films FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King of Horror on Film.

There  are over 100 titles based  on Stephen King's work.  Does that surprise the fan base?  Nope.  (The article refers to  the book as a "novel."  Of course, it's not a novel.)

Steve Pattee gives us the lay of the land, explaining that the first  part of the book reviews  the movies by decades, then it offers  individual sections forshorts; miniseries, TV series, and TV movies; sequels and remakes; and a final chapter for "oddities and ephemera", which is just what it sounds like: things that just couldn't fit in the other chapters.

Pattee writes:

I've read numerous books on film in the past, and there are two different types of writers. The first gives a brief synopsis of the film – maybe adding the actors and directors involved – before moving onto the next making it nothing more than a glorified list. The second type takes his or her time with each title, perhaps giving a background or personal thoughts in addition to the synopsis. I prefer this latter type, and in Stephen King Films FAQ, Von Doviak exceeds my expectations.
