The Night Strangler(1973) Child in the Night(1990) Rose Red(2002)
by Spenser Hoyt THE NIGHT STRANGLER (1973) The Kolchack TV movies are legendary and, even though it grossly misrepresents the Seattle Underground, The Night Strangler is one of the best "set in Seattle" films. It's a follow-up to the hugely popular The Night Stalker, which introduced Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin), an investigative reporter who specializes in the supernatural. In the first film he happened upon a vampire in Las Vegas and this time he encounters a seemingly immortal ghoul who thrives on the blood of go-go dancers. And, no, the ghoul in question is not Frank Colacurcio. The film was mostly shot on location in Seattle and mixes authentic locations and details with variations on real places. As an additional treat, the fun cast is packed full of familiar faces like John Carradine, Al (Grandpa Munster) Lewis, Margaret (The Wicked Witch of the West) Hamilton and Richard (Oscar Goldman) Anderson. CHILD IN THE NIGHT (1990) Darren McGavin is back in Seattle but this time in a supporting role. He plays eight-year-old Elĳah Wood’s grandpa. Young Wood witnessed the murder of his father by a killer with a cargo hook and local boy Tom Skerritt is a police detective who can’t find any leads on the rain slicker-clad killer. JoBeth Williams plays a child psychologist who is called in to help with the disturbed youth. Williams & Skerritt brush against their Poltergeist franchise legacy and have a casual cheeseburger lunch date at the late, lamented Buckaroo Tavern. Skerritt says, "Buckaroo's has the best burgers and fries in Seattle." I don't remember seeing any food there besides pickled eggs and potato chips and I certainly don't think anybody was going there specifically for cheeseburgers.

Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.

Ascoltando i racconti della sua vita movimentata, avventurosa e piena di imprevisti sapevo di aver trovato non solo una bella storia da scrivere: avevo trovato forse la storia di vita più straordinaria che avessi mai ascoltato. Mi meravigliai ad ogni svolta del racconto: la giovinezza turbolenta; la velocità superlativa che lo ha portato alle Olimpiadi e l’ incontro con Hitler; le ore strazianti da bombardiere della Seconda Guerra Mondiale; l’ incidente aereo; il naufragio sulla zattera di salvataggio durato 47 giorni a 2000 miglia; l’incontro con gli squali; il tifone; la fame; la cattura; la lotta epica di un prigioniero di guerra; gli anni segnati dai postumi del terrore tipico del disturbo post-traumatico da stress (DPTS); ed il bel momento finale di redenzione.

An Interview with Stephen King by John C. Tibbetts
“We Walk Your Dog at Night!”: An Interview with Stephen King by John C. Tibbetts Stephen King is a phenomenon. He is without question the most popular writer of horror fiction of all time. In l973 he was living with his family in a trailor in Hampden, Maine, struggling to make a living as a high school teacher, when he published his first novel, Carrie, a tale of a girl with telekinetic powers. Its sales in hardcover were modest (l3,000) but enough to inspire a paperback reprint and a popular film adaption by Brian De Palma in l976. His “breakthrough” book, Salem's Lot, came out that year and quickly sold 3,000,000 copies. Within the next four years The Shining, The Stand, Night Shift, and The Dead Zone—all best-selling horror fiction—established King as the reigning Master of the Macabre. When he co- authored The Talisman in l984 with Peter Straub [See the Straub interview elsewhere in these pages], it was a publishing event unparalleled in modern times. Today over l00 million copies of his books are in print. King's work is frankly derivative of the traditions of l9th century gothic horror. Carrie is written in the style of the "epistolary" novel of the late l8th century. Salem's Lot is an update on Bram Stoker's vampire novel, Dracula. Christine is a variant on Oscar Wilde's The Portrait of Dorian Gray. Pet Sematary is a retelling of W. W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw." And The Dark Half draws from the rich vein of "doppelganger" stories by Poe, Hoffmann, and Stevenson.

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.
