So I watched 'Stand by Me last night as part of my first day of this years (extended) 60 Days of Horror Movies. This year it will be 90 Days of Horror Movies, or A Quarter Year of Terror. Or Scott Wastes Even More Time.
In my mind, this was the movie, along with the accompanying book (Different Seasons) that kind of broke King away from people thinking that he was just Mr. Horror. The novella isn't quite as well known as the iconic film, but the movie is still viewed as a King project. It told the world, "Hey, this guy writes a lot of different stuff and there isn't a kid with telekinetic powers in this one."
For a little more on my thoughts on the actual flick, visit the 60 Days Blog.
