  • WRITER's GUIDE 2004 Season 3
    WRITER’S GUIDE 2004 Season 3 Created for Television by Michael Piller & Shawn Piller Based on characters from the Stephen King novel Copyright © 2004 Lions Gate Television. All rights reserved. No portion of this document may be performed, published, sold or distributed by any means, or quoted or published in any medium, including on any web site, without prior written consent. Disposal of this script copy does not alter any of the restrictions set forth above. WRITER’S GUIDE 2004 Season 3 INTRODUCTION A few to-dos before you come in to pitch. 1. Watch the pilot. 2. Read the book by Stephen King. 3. Watch the episode “Destiny”, our first season cliffhanger. 4. Watch Frank Capra’s Meet John Doe. 5. Watch Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. Some don’ts: 1. Although Johnny should help someone in most every story, we don’t want this to become “Touched by an Angel”. We must find interesting, unique and fresh ways to tell stories. No preaching please. Find the unexpected twist. 2. Don’t pitch story arcs that run multiple episodes. What we need from you are self-contained stories. 3. We do not want to hear any pitches based on previously seen material -- whether film or television. Those kinds of story ideas occur to everybody -- including The Dead Zone staff. Johnny Smith is a fresh and unusual character, never before seen on television. We want fresh and unusual story concepts that likewise have not been seen on television. If it can be said of an idea "Star Trek did that" -- or "Buffy" or "The X-Files" or "Twilight Zone" -- then that is not an idea you should pitch.

  • The Dead Zone
    THE DEAD ZONE “SAVED” Story by Christina Lynch & Loren Segan Our first reunion between Johnny Smith and Greg Stillson since the season opener isn’t going to be the story anyone suspected, but one that will rock the Dead Zone landscape for episodes to come. Greg Stillson has picked up the pieces of his broken life and moved forward. In fact, he’s met a girl and fallen deeply in love. But this storybook union comes crashing down around him when a tragic boating accident sends his beloved overboard and presumed dead. Grieving and not buying or believing the spin his new handlers are putting on the story, Greg Stillson does the unthinkable… he secretly knocks on Johnny’s front door and asks for help. Help to fill in the missing twenty minutes during the boating crisis (Stillson blacked out) and help in piecing together a puzzle that he believes is missing a few important pieces. But is Stillson telling Johnny the truth? Or is he just trying to cover his ass? Johnny eventually realizes that the young woman is actually still alive and may have, in fact, staged her own death (her body remains missing at sea and she’s presumed dead). Not revealing everything he knows, Johnny strings Stillson along in an attempt to find out what’s really going on. Johnny eventually catches up with the terrified young woman and hears a story of fear, lies and isolation. Her relationship with the handsome young Congressman had been set-up by Stillson’s enigmatic new handler, MR. JANUS.

  • Stephen King 1947—
    King, Stephen 1947— Author: Tony Magistrale Date: 2000 From: American Writers, Supplement 5 Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons Document Type: Biography; Critical essay Length: 11,425 words About this Person Born: September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, United States Nationality: American Occupation: Novelist Other Names: King, Stephen Edwin; Bachman, Richard; King, Steve (American novelist); Swithen, John; Druse, Eleanor Full Text: Stephen King 1947— Introduction IN A CONVERSATION with Stephen King that took place several years ago, I made the mistake of asking him why he continues to live in Bangor, Maine. I reminded him that the year before he had made fifty million dollars; since he could afford to reside anywhere in the world, why Bangor? King took me in with a look that suggested he had just swallowed some particularly offensive species of bug— indeed, that perhaps I myself were a member of that insect species. His response was a sardonic, “Now, just where would you have me live—Monaco?” This little anecode actually reveals a great deal about Stephen King, the man as well as the writer. Since 1974, the publication year of his first novel, Carrie, King has assembled a prodigious canon. By the late 1990s he had averaged more than a book a year for nearly three decades: 35 novels, 7 collections of short stories and novellas, and 10 screenplays. One consistent element that unifies this broad and eclectic landscape is that the majority of this fiction shares a Maine setting. Born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947, Stephen King has spent almost his entire existence in Maine.

  • The Case of Stephen King
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, March 2016, Vol. 6, No. 3, 209-225 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.03.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Hypnotising Dance of Bodies: The Case of Stephen King Folio Jessica University of Reunion Island, Saint-Denis, France King’s narratives exemplify the themes of the uncanny, of masking and unmasking, of the corporeal otherisation and of the questioning of identity. This paper is an invitation to go beyond what may commonly be thought of as a uniform looking-glass so as to discover King’s particular treatment of the body. Far from shying away from sexuality, the American writer depicts it in an ambivalent or disguised manner (Thinner, Mr. Mercedes, Christine, Misery, Cycle of the Werewolf). If the female body is mainly connected with the taboos of rape and incest (Gerald’s Game, Dolores Claiborne, Bag of Bones, Under the Dome), or with ungenderisation (The Tommynockers, Rose Madder), the notion of monstrosisation can nevertheless be applied to both male and female bodies (The Shining, Desperation, “The Raft,” “Survivor Type”). Oscillating between hypermonstration and avoidance, King pulls the strings of the fragmentation, even of the silencing of the body. The fissure impregnating the characters’ identity and bodies is enlightened by the shattering of the very connection between signifiers and signified, inserting the reader into a state of non-knowledge: a mesmerising dance of disembodied bodies within disembodied texts. Keywords: the body, in-betweeness, otherisation, sexuality, taboos, ambiguity, fragmentation, non-knowledge Introduction In his introduction to Night Shift, King writes: “all our fears are part of that great fear—an arm, a leg, a finger, an ear.

    I Thesis/Dissertation Sheet I Australia's -1 Global UNSW University I SYDN�Y I Surname/Family Name Dempsey Given Name/s Claire Kathleen Marsden Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar MPhil Faculty UNSW Canberra I School School of Humanities and Social Sciences Thesis Title 'A quick kiss in the dark from a stranger': Stephen King and the Short Story Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) There has been significant scholarly attention paid to both the short story genre and the Gothic mode, and to the influence of significant American writers, such as Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and H.P. Lovecraft, on the evolution of these. However, relatively little consideration appears to have been offeredto the I contribution of popular writers to the development of the short story and of Gothic fiction. In the Westernworld in the twenty-firstcentury there is perhaps no contemporary popular writer of the short story in the Gothic mode I whose name is more familiar than that of Stephen King. This thesis will explore the contribution of Stephen King to the heritage of American short stories, with specific reference to the American Gothic tradition, the I impact of Poe, Hawthorneand Lovecrafton his fiction, and the significance of the numerous adaptations of his works forthe screen. I examine Stephen King's distinctive style, recurring themes, the adaptability of his work I across various media, and his status within American popular culture. Stephen King's contribution to the short story genre, I argue, is premised on his attention to the general reader and to the evolution of the genre itself, I providing as he does a conduit between contemporary an_d classic short fiction.

CAPES, for the financial support of my two-year scholarship. Melissa, for her assessment of many arguments in this thesis. My colleagues and professors whose observations influenced my research. vi Abstract This thesis examines the portrayal of masculinity as an unsolvable problem, or an open wound, in Stephen King’s The Shining, Pet Sematary, Rose Madder, Blaze, and Doctor Sleep. It uses theories from social and cultural studies to discuss masculinity in relation to responsibility and evil, examining textual correlations between traditional manhood and immorality. It also explores the assumptions and prejudices behind social and sexual relationships men have with women and other men in King’s fiction, focusing on the exclusion of femininity and non-traditional masculinities. Finally, it argues that communication, responsibility, and repa- ration fail as solutions to problems of masculinity, which tends to remain an open wound in Stephen King’s fiction.
