He has had one HELL of an impact on pop culture, hasn't he?!? It's hard to go for very long without referring to one of his creations, at least for me. Or at least thinking about his creations. You just named three of his creations that are part of everyone's consciousness, and there are so many more. People jokingly call yippy little dogs Cujo... Everyone in the @#$%^& world can recognize quotes from The Shining (at least the movie, which, I know, is different from the book)... everyone has seen Misery... I think a lot of people made comments about Greg Stillson when Obama was president, and nowadays people on the left do the same with Trump... it just goes on and on.

Everyone will think of re-animated corpses when they go to a pet cemetery^sematary. Big dogs ARE Cujo. Castle Rock, Maine is a big deal now, even getting a tv show.

Just finished 11.22.63, by the way. Another solid entry the Stephen King catalogue!

Glad you liked 11/22/63, Box, definitely one of the best King adatptions.

And speaking of Cujo....

There's also the TV show version of The Mist. Not watched, but the first season ended just last month. Gerald's Game is cumming to Netflix later this month and there's a fuck ton of other adaptations of his work in various stages of production according to his IMDb page. I feel like even when he passes away, his work will be relevant for a long time after. I'm sure plenty of his short stories haven't been touched yet and some of the adaptations are awful, so no doubt more remakes will pop up sooner or later.

The Mist TV series is horrible. No monsters, just infected people. Lame.


There is also the Mr Mercedes TV series that is getting good buzz.

Plus, he has a new book (written with his son Owen) coming out this Fall. It's set around a womens prison, titled Sleeping Beauties.
