SteveCrisis Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Stephen King's Nightmares & DreamscapesAnybody been watching this on Five US?Admittedly the adaptations aren't brilliant, but to a certain extent they are enjoyable. It's a definite must for Stephen King fans like myself.William H Macy stars in the next one to be broadcast on Monday night, Umney's Last Case. Tom Bernger also stars in an episode entitled The Road Virus Heads North.The episodes/adaptations I'm most looking forward to are The End Of The Whole Mess, The Fifth Quarter and, at a push Autopsy Room Four.

Stephen King stuff is usually adapted pretty well onto the box. He is a master of the ripping yarn ("Firestarter" my favourite). I'd say more about Stephen King's writing but this isn't the correct forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterstone's is doing it for half price. Bargain! That and the new Rebus hardback (set against the back-drop of the G8 Summit) for the price of one. Roll on Tuesday when it's payday!
