Do you remember the first movie you watched that was based on a Stephen King story? It wasn’t Carrie or the Shining for me, it was Cat’s Eye. This is going to be another that I need to go back and watch once more. The thing that I remember the most is when James Woods had to watch his wife and kid shocked because he was caught smoking. My mom was a heavy chainsmoker at that time and if they could shock the girl in the film they’d shock me too.
Besides nostalgia the other reason I want to go back and watch it is because I really dig the anthology horror format. I loved the Tales From the Crypt series along with sci-fi anthologies like the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. A recent horror anthology flick that’s gaining a following is Trick ‘r Treat which I may discuss later in the month.
