Read the book, be prepared for disturbing passages, but DO NOT WATCH THE OLDER MOVIE (unless you want to compare afterwards).

Yup, read it. Not one of his best but not close the worst (Dream Catcher, Cujo). I liked it.

It creeped me out when I read it like 10 years ago. I checked it out again so I’m hoping it’ll still have the same creep factor!

If you haven’t read it before, I’d recommend a read as a new movie remake is coming out soon and then you can compare!

This movie messed me up, I think I was in middle school when I read it. “I’ve got something for you, mommy.”

It’s a great read but I’m a SK fan boy it’s crazy that he thought he would be ostracized for having it published but it’s definitely in his top 5

Definitely read it before you see the new movie. The book is really good and scary. The old movie was terrible.

I loved that era of King but couldn’t get through it. Things happen in that book that I found too upsetting, from an empathy sort of perspective
