I'm just finishing "Single White Female" by John Lutz (outstanding!) and just might do that.<BR/><BR/>I agree, Christopher Walken is really cool. Did you see him in "Man on Fire?" His role was fairly small but I really thought he did an outstanding job.Kara Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653757071462524281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631860829031902368.post-67223915930177174432008-11-01T02:57:00.000-06:002008-11-01T02:57:00.000-06:00I was browsing and found this blog...I *adore* The...I was browsing and found this blog...I *adore* The Stand! I first read it (long version) in college. I now have the paperback.<BR/><BR/>I also love The Shining and The Dead Zone. I saw the movie repeatedly and had a crush on Christopher Walken (for awhile). lol!J.J. in L.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14394864319127058771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631860829031902368.post-398779572336790112008-10-29T08:43:00.000-06:002008-10-29T08:43:00.000-06:00Hey Michelle, Happy Halloween back! Halloween rock...Hey Michelle, Happy Halloween back! Halloween rocks! Actually, I did recognize the pic you put up that I commented on, just couldn't remember the illustrator's name. It just really struck a chord when I saw it cause I was feeling like that at the moment so I really loved it! His work IS fun. Seeing that brought back memories of reading books with his illustrations as a kid. They are AWESOME.Kara Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653757071462524281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631860829031902368.post-14945330374422418012008-10-28T21:14:00.000-06:002008-10-28T21:14:00.000-06:00Same here about Stephen King!

I adore that, it never gets old. I love "Secret Window" too, I've just seen the movie though so I'll have to try the book. One of the movies made from a Stephen King novel that scares the tar out of me, so to speak, is "The Shining." Not the original movie with Jack Nicholson, but the newer longer version. I keep trying to get up the courage to watch it again but haven't made it yet. We recently watched "Stir of Echos" based on the novel by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay. I couldn't sleep for 2 nights after I was so scared. Though, I must say, "Stir of Echos" was a good movie and I would watch it again (I know when to close my eyes now). :)Kara Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653757071462524281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631860829031902368.post-80928636745564699582008-10-27T20:28:00.000-06:002008-10-27T20:28:00.000-06:00A lot of Stephen King's work is too dark for me. ...A lot of Stephen King's work is too dark for me. I get scared and can't sleep! I do like 'The Stand'. I've seen the movie several times.....I'll have to read the book. I have read and really enjoyed 'Secret Window, Secret Garden'. The movie starring Johnny Depp was also well done. He makes a great psychopath!Queenbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403611114363081363noreply@blogger.com
