I'm your biggest fan.

Just watching Misery, they don't make films like this anymore. Kathy Bates is the scariest woman ever to act.

I remember going to the cinema to see that when it was first released - scary is right.

Nobody does horror quite like Stephen King, hey?

Right. I've read quite a few of his books and they never fail to be creepy.

Stephen King is one of my favourite authors. I'm currently reading his new one - Under The Dome, and it's shaping up to be a King classic.

He doesn't just write horror - did you know that Shawshank Redemption is one of his short stories?

I did indeed. Green Mile too.

I tried to read Under The Dome, but it's a bit too sci-fi for me. Have you read Cell?

Cell was rubbish, if you ask me. Not vintage King at all - just a filler book. Try The Stand, or It. Both brilliant. Or the Gunslinger series. I don't want to boast, but I bet there's not a lot you can tell me about his books that I don't know. I read Carrie before it was made into a film and have grabbed every book he's written since as soon as they've been released.

I'm halfway through Under The Dome and haven't found anything sci fi about it at all, incidentally.

I loved Cell. Haven't read The Stand, but I loved It as well. They're making another film adaptation I believe.

If I can make a recommendation, try The Road by Cormac McCarthey. I've read it 5 or 6 times, and just can't get bored of it. Fantastic book.

It and The Stand are too long to make a film of. Would need to be a series, both of them.
The best thing about Cell was the concept, but since King had his accident he's given me the impression that he sometimes just tidies up old ideas to keep the publishers happy.
Lisey's Story was good though, and the Duma Key.

They've already adapted It to film, Tim Curry played him. Geniunely terrifying in his Pennywise form.

If you're talking about the old film, I didn't think it was very good. Have you read the book?

I have, certainly took me a while 'cause it was in the middle of my GCSEs, but I got through it. I'd love to read it all again, but I can't find my fecking copy.

Not in the same league as Noelle Gordon

You can take the boy out of the Midlands........

My first serious girlfriend lived about 100 yards down the same road in Handsworth Wood. I had to make sure when I walked her home that she entered the house because Meg might have been on the prowl

Wasn't she a great mate of Larry Grayson?

They were
They planned an artificial semination to produce the perfect Welsh Rugby Captain

I used to watch Crossroads when I came home from school. I can remember the very first episode, embarrasingly. She had a son called Sandy, played by someone called Roger Tonge, who ended up confined to a wheelchair for some reason.

He was also of the Welsh Rugby Captain persuasion

Who, Roger Tonge? I didn't know that, but then I suppose I didn't need to.
