Stephen Kingcast

In 2002, Stephen King continued his successful collaboration with ABC to bring an original story to life. The three part Rose Red was a ratings success, spawned supplemental promotional material and a spinoff prequel one year later. 

Sandwiched between the heyday of the TV mini-series and the rise of prestige TV, Rose Red finds itself like a ghost, haunting the shifting landscape of television. 

What legacy does it leave behind? 

Not only do I discuss Rose Red, but I place it in context of other horror properties such as The Haunting, The Haunting of Hill House, The Blair Witch and The Sixth Sense. What do these horror tales have to do with Rose Red? Well, you'll have to listen to find out.

1997 was a prolific year for Stephen King. Not only did he publish Wizard and Glass, but the television world also saw adaptations of The Shining, "Chattery Teeth" (Quicksilver Highway) and the second adaptation of his story "Trucks." 

A vast tonal departure from 1986's Maximum Overdrive, Trucks strips down the more over-the-top, cocaine-fueled insanity of the original adaptation, leaving behind, well frankly, a car frame without an engine.
