The Mist Movie

Every time a new Stephen King movie comes out there is going to be a great following. So knowing that The Mist by Stephen King is coming out this month is going to be no different.

If you have ever read his books and then see the movie you knwo that they are typically well done. This one I believe is from a short story, or at least that is how I originally heard it. I heard it as an audiobook some time back it it is indeed a creepy tale. It is about some people in a town that get trapped in a grocery store when a strange sort of "Mist" rolls into town. The fog is so dense that they cannot see anything and therefore are pretty much trapped inside. They find out rather quickly that this isn't some sort of normal fog and that it contains some strange creatures in it that they can hear, but not see. Most think it is some sort of strange experiment perpetrated by the nearby military base.

Not all of his movies hit the big screen, as many of them take much more than a couple hours to portray and therefore are put into a mini-series like The Stand was.
The Mist by Stephen King is going to hit the big screen and that means it is going to have a much bigger budget for special effects. Those "creatures" in the fog I have only read/heard in the audiobook, but will be quite interested to see what they look like once they are portrayed on film. Should be another great movie.

Waht's your favorite Stephen King book/movie? I can't even think twice about mine, and it is probably a favorite of many others. The Shining. That movie is still scary today and has a great performance from Jack Nicholson. That movie has so many scary moments it is hard to pick just one. I'd say that the moment where the blood is flowing freely down the halls is one of the best.
