Like you, I'm also skeptical of remakes, but I am thinking of seeing the new movie as it does look good. As I'm the only person in my house that is into horror, I'll be watching it on my own. That ought to double the fun! ;)Debbie Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034949025523317477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-56932626139268488322017-08-13T17:15:30.611-04:002017-08-13T17:15:30.611-04:00I hear you re the not sleeping.

I thought the movie was pretty good, but not nearly as good as the book, which I find is usually the case. I'm not sure if this was my favorite King book or now. I really liked "The Shining," too. (And a lot of other ones.) The movie adaptation was terrific, but I was really disappointed they didn't include the topiary animals in the movie. <br /><br />Dean Koontz has written a bunch of really good horrors, too. Like "Whispers." (Makes me shudder just to think of it...)<br /><br />As for the new IT movie, if I watch it, I'll wait until I can watch it at home. Snacks are a lot cheaper here... :)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-21509377096320243272017-08-10T18:16:04.594-04:002017-08-10T18:16:04.594-04:00Oh, I watched the first episode of Black Mirror - ...Oh, I watched the first episode of Black Mirror - totally freaky. <br /><br />I am so tempted to go back and watch the old mini-series of IT and have Tim Curry scare me all over again. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-35496896656574674352017-08-10T15:16:26.787-04:002017-08-10T15:16:26.787-04:00I'm not good with horror - I had to give up on...I'm not good with horror - I had to give up on an episode of Black Mirror last night - so I won't be watching this...
