The mist stephen king movie ending Continue If you consider yourself a hardcore Stephen King fan, chances are you'll probably read a decent piece of the horror master's work. But did you read what he read? Or look, for that matter? Anyone who has dipped into King's On Writing memoir will know that he is more than happy to talk about the fiction he most enjoys; The end of the book contains a hefty list of titles that King says entertained and taught him, stretching all the way to 2009. But what about his later fictitious recommendations? Below is a pretty hefty list of all the books, TV shows and movies King has recommended through his Twitter feed in 2019. (We've included an adaptation of his own work that King spoke positively about, too, because - though he's obviously biased - he's still pretty selective when it comes to his praise of those.) TV shows Somehow, along with all the novels he churns and the novels he reads, King also finds time to work his way through a solid piece of TV show. This year it's clearly been on a bit of a streaming binge (Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV all feature heavily), but he's also praised the new Twilight zone and tweeted pretty strong protection for Game of Thrones. Pine Gap (Netflix) PINE GAP (Netflix) is good. No explosions, no fights (a little shoving around in the final episode- there are 6), a lot of geek talk. This increases tensions, though, and the whodunit aspect is beautifully handled. Hoping for season 2. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 7, 2019 Passage (FOX) PASSAGE is good, but here's a note if you guys get updated: memories feel like a filler. We don't need Agent Volgast's sad backstory to understand why he loves Amy; she's just attractive. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 26, 2019 Good Fight (CBS) Bordertown (Netflix) Black Summer (Netflix) BLACK SUMMER (Netflix): Just when you think there's no more scare left in zombies, it comes along. Existential hell in the suburbs, stripped to the bone. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) on April 15, 2019, Netflix's Black Summer won King's endorsement. BLACK SUMMER: There is no long, fraught discussion. No endless memories, because there is no reverse story. No grouchy teenagers. Dialogue is spare. A lot of shots with one portable camera, very fluid. Showrunners could learn a lot from that. If they could work, that is. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 15, 2019 Bosch (Amazon) Game of Thrones (HBO) GoT: As a longtime narrator, I'm thrilled with how wonderful the minds behind this show have brought all the main characters together in Winterfell. They made it look easy. Regular readers, this is not the case. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 23, 2019 Despite the backlash from Season 8, Stephen King remained a game of Thrones fan until the end. I loved GoT's latest season, including Dani going bugshit all over Royal Landing. Landing. there was a lot of negativity about windup, but I think that's just because people don't want any end. But you know what they're saying: All the good stuff... - Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 16, 2019 Twilight Zone (CBS All Access) Shield (FX) and Sons of Anarchy (FX) NY Times lists the top 20 TV dramas. No GAME OF THRONES and no SONS ANARCHY. I feel like they should have been on the list, but I'm glad they got SHIELD there. This show has fundamentally changed television. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 22, 2019 NOS4R2 (AMC) NOS4A2: Scary? Yes. Involvement? Yes. But he's also doing something network TV can't or won't do by showing working class people, doing their job and trying their damndest (sometimes not) to be worthy. The best horror stories are strongly connected with real life. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 3, 2019 Mr. Mercedes (Audience) Appointed Survivor (Netflix) Season Netflix DESIGNATED SURVIVOR is tough, complex and involving. Freed from network restrictions, the cast and crew are clearly thrilled. It's great fun. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 13, 2019 100 (The CW) 100: I love this show, although this season is sometimes hard to follow. I love characters, but I have to say I loved Octavia better when she was mean. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) August 7, 2019 Stephen King may have a few notes, but he's still a fan of 'The 100.' Money Heist (Netflix) MONEY HEIST, aka CASA DE PAPEL: The current season tops first. It's exciting and fun. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) August 11, 2019 Marianne (Netflix) If you're one of those sickos-like me who likes to be afraid, MARIANNE (Netflix) will do the job. There are sheens of humor that give him a STRANGER THINGS vibe. He also has (I say this with all due humility) the Stephen King vibe. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 26, 2019 Creepshow (Shudder) The first episode of CREEPSHOW (on Shudder) is a really excellent re-download of the film George and I made back in the day. God bless Adrienne, and my God, so many Easter eggs! - Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 28, 2019 Appearance (ABC, King corrected this on his tweet) The first 2 episodes of EMERGENCE (NBC) are really good, and Alison Tolman is terrific. You have to give him a chance. But... 13 producers and co-producers? It's just a little absurd. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 6, 2019 The Morning Show (Apple TV) THE MORNING SHOW: Instant engagement of characters you care about, professionally made, acted with Elan. What's not to like? - Stephen King (@StephenKing) november 4, 2019 Stephen King is a fan of The Morning Show. SEE ALSO: Is my chronic fear of a horror film jump really phobia? Servant (Apple TV) SERVANT, at Apple: Extremely creepy and totally involving. Two episodes, and I'm hooked. - Stephen King December 5, December, Castle Rock (Hulu) What a great cast at CASTLE ROCK this year, starting with Lizzie Kaplan... But what about Elsie Fisher as a joy? How thrilling. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 5, 2019 The Outsider (HBO) for All Humanity (Apple TV) Colm Feore is due to receive an Emmy in the category Best Supporting Actor for his sterling portrayal of Wercher von Braun in the film FOR ALL WORLD. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 28, 2019 The Man in High Castle (Amazon Prime) Season 4 MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE is surprisingly good. If you had told me 10 years ago that I could have watched something as complex and involving as it is on television, I wouldn't have believed you. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 20, 2019 Films Only a handful of films are recommendations from this year's Horror Master, and two of them are based on books from King himself - IT Chapter Two and Doctor Dream. The second is particularly noteworthy, though, because it's a sequel to Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining - and the King wasn't really interested in that one. For fans of King's novels, this meant that his praise of Mike Flanagan's film Dr. Sleep was a huge moment. IS Chapter Two looking forward to IT Chapter 2? You have to be. I've seen it, and it's amazing. The trailer is on Thursday at noon. You're going to swim. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 7, 2019 Ready or not READY or NOT a great fun-variation on the last girl on the left horror film, which by turns scary and very funny. Samara weaving is amazing, and the cinema is magnificent. The movie doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's damn cool. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) August 23, 2019 Josie and Jack Dr. Sleep DOCTOR SLEEP is coming in November. It's a damn good movie. And it's bloody scary. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) on September 24, 2019, Stephen King was a big fan of Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Dr. Sleep. Child's Play The CHILD'S PLAY reboot is an erudite socio-Marxist satire on American consumerism. Ok... Lol don't even know. But it's pretty funny. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 30, 2019 SEE ALSO: 13 of the best Stephen King stories you've ever read King's Books recommended over 25 books and stories in 2019, and although many of them are new novels, there are a few old classics out there too. As you'd expect, there are plenty of horrors - but there are also thrillers from the likes of Lee Child and Don Winslow, book club material from Sarah Blake, and a sprawling dark fantasy novel from Lee Bardugo. The Girl on the Porch (Richard Chizmar) Border (Don Winslow) BORDER, Don Winslow: Everyone in America, left, right and center, should read this book. It's social fiction to rival Tom Wolfe and John Steinbeck. Focused, angry, tense, sometimes cheerful, always very interesting. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 2, 2019 You are released Joe Hill's story, available in the Full Throttle collection) Best story I've read in 2018? It's easy. You're relieved, Joe Hill. You can find it in FLIGHT or FRIGHT. And by the way, Joe NOS4A2 is on AMC this summer. That, as they say, is an okhlagot spine. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 5, 2019 Kari Mora (Thomas Harris) I'm reading CARI MORA, a new novel by Thomas Harris. It's coming out next month. He's as good as ever. Reading his prose is like running a slow hand down cold silk. - Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 4, 2019 Cemetery Road (Greg Ailes) CEMETERY ROAD, Greg Isles: Pure Reading Pleasure.
