Why oh why do I even try?

I got about 4 of these. Once the answer was revealed I totally knew it. Remembered it.

And I just read Tobe Hooper's Studies in Horror Film in my Year of Cemetery Dance. Along with TWO, count them, TWO, trivia books. You would think the information burrowed in the grays somewhere, but nope.

Hahaha...I know this was your first King book (and your favorite? or does that honor belong to The Talisman?) but I understand. I have often contested other members about details from my favorite King book, only to be corrected soon after. It's funny what we retain and what doesn't quite stick. Thanks for taking my quiz!
