Man dressed as clown who offered children candy was celebrating his birthday and meant no harm, cops say

My wife Rachael and I want to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween! This was a great year for Constant Readers. It was adapted again into a an excellent film. Many of us at this site got to see it here in Derry (Bangor) itself. Some great new books by King were released, but then again, I'm...

I am working on a longer review which will include spoilers, but I wanted to see the color of my thoughts here at the end of opening weekend. This review, as advertised, will include no spoilers. It will be short and to the point. I am a purist, and I hope to see this particular tale told...

I've had some time to digest the film and think about some of the various things that really bothered me. By in large, these are smaller things which were rather important in that they stuck in my craw. What is more, most of them are self-inflicted wounds that simply should not have happened...

So my wife and I are finally under contract to purchase a home in Bangor! Cue the balloons! Every once and a while groups of people get together from this site to go to a King location (like the Overlook location, etc.). It is our intention to get our new place, upon closing, setup to host...

Check this out and think of our favorite crazy mono and his visual tricks: Earthables

Ok. I'm going to try and avoid gloom and doom here. I'm just somewhat perplexed by the casting news. Supposedly, they have already started principle photography for this project. We don't have Eddie Dean cast. We don't have Ms. Holmes cast. It is rather difficult for me to understand why...

As most of us have reached a resigned acceptance of what is to come, there isn't any reason we can't have some fun with it. I suspect we could get a betting pool going on some key topics, i.e. big things we think will be gone, replaced, and perhaps the weirdest thing put in. Think of it like...

So I started to think about the script, for the Dark Tower, and apply my experience with Hollywood and her films. I combined that with the various leaks we have been getting and a film is starting to take form in my mind following the predictable pattern. Granted my predictions so far (which I...

My wife and I got to observe the historic Blood Moon last night. We decided we wanted to watch it from a key place in Derry/Bangor. My only regret is that I didn't have a tripod and a camera designed for night photography. Here is a shot showing the Standpipe with the Moon a red dot just to...

There are signs and portents everywhere. Some are subtle and pass beneath the notice of the conscious mind, lingering in dreams and nightmares. Some are glaring emblems which cannot be denied. When one lives in the shadow of the Standpipe, there is no mistaking King's country. A quiet stroll...

I don't usually post in the general section; most of my comments stay in the "written works" area but I can't really justify this one there without making an extreme stretch. Perhaps I'll post in both. As some of my friends here know, my wife and I have made the move to Maine, Bangor...

I've been so busy I haven't had time to finish my proper write up, but it is still coming. However, I thought some of you would appreciate knowing that now as 2014 is coming to an end, it is ten degrees Fahrenheit here in Derry (Bangor) and likely to go to five degrees later tonight. Just...

So, I found the train station. Who wants to take the Mono there?

Three years ago my wife and I got married and spent our honeymoon in Maine. Our trip, not surprisingly, included Mt. Desert Island (Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, etc.), Bangor and the surrounding area. We had a wonderful time and had already made up our minds that Maine was where we intend...

I'm hoping Ms. Mod can tell me if this is genuine. I found it at a used bookstore. It breaks my heart because someone must have died and their family just unloaded it with a bunch of other books. The inscription is so specific it seems like Mr. King may have known them better and might...

My wife and I were married the year Cemetery Dance released their 25th Edition of It. The plan was for it to be my Groom's gift but something went wrong in the ordering. It didn't go through and they sold out. As a result we have been looking for one that we can afford or barter for in...

I remember there was a thread sometime back where people posted things which had ties to Mr. King's work. I wish I'd had a better camera for this one (only a phone) but it is worth a smile.
