	Stephen King - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine to Donald and Ruth Pillsbury King.
		King barely missed the driver's side support post in the van and also barely missed a spread of rocks on the ground near where he landed, either of which would likely have killed him or put him in a permanent coma.
		King staged a mock funeral for Bachman after the pseudonym was made public, which in turn inspired the book The Dark Half, in which a novelist stages the burial of his horror author pseudonym after having a "serious" novel published, only to find that his alter ego does not want to leave quite so easily.

	List of Stephen King films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of films based on work by Stephen King (including the Richard Bachman titles):
		1992 The Lawnmower Man (King sued the makers of this film for misusing his name and won - the film may not be shown with his name on it)
		1995 Stephen King's Nightshift Collection (consists of three short films, only the first of which has anything to do with King: "Disciples of the Crow" (based on Children of the Corn), "The Night Waiter," and "Killing Time;" some versions only contain two films)

	Stephen King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stephen King was born in 1947 in Portland, Maine and is of Scots-Irish ancestry.
		King believes that, generally speaking, good stories cannot be called consciously and should not be plotted out beforehand but are better served by focusing on a single "seed" of a story and letting the story grow itself from there.
		King is also known for his folksy, informal narration, often referring to his fans as "Constant Readers" or "friends and thee neighbors." This familiar style to contrasts with the horrific content of many of his stories.

	Biography of Stephen King - Biographyies List - BiograhpyFinder.com
		In On Writing, King admits that at this time he was consistently drunk and that he was an alcoholic for well over a decade (he states that he'd based the alcoholic father in The Shining on himself, though he didn't admit it for several years).
		King barely missed the driver's side support post in the van, and also barely missed a spread of rocks on the ground near where he landed—either of which could have killed him or put him in a permanent coma.
		King forgave the driver (unfortunate as it was, it was an accident, after all) and actually purchased the van in question for $1,500.

	Cat Eye -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The film centers around a cat that is seeking out a young girl (played by Drew Barrymore) in order to save her from a supernatural danger.
		In the process of looking for her, the cat is a witness to other strange events, such as a smoker who is forced to quit his habit by a bizarre organization, and a man who is forced to play a deadly game on the ledge of a building.
		This was Barrymore's second film based on King's writing; she had previously appeared in Firestarter in 1984.

	What Is Stephen King Trying To Prove?
		King began "The Plant" back in the early 1980's but shelved it because it too closely resembled "Little Shop of Horrors." It was distributed only to the people on his Christmas-card list.
		King was stunned by the success of "Riding the Bullet." In Scribner's office pool, he had predicted 16,000 downloads.
		King's near-death, as the facts came forth, unspooled like a scene from his novels, full as they are of automotive menace and rural blunderings.

	Amazon.com: Stephen King's Danse Macabre: Books: Stephen King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		King covers the gamut of horror as he'd experienced it at that point in 1978 (a period of about 30 years): folk tales, literature, radio, good movies, junk movies, and the "glass teat".
		King has had a few genuine high-points, and a whole lot of middling-at-best efforts, in the two decades-plus since this book first appeared, but he can at least rest easy in the knowledge that he'll never write anything worse.
		King hits on everything from the origins of horror (the circus freak show, abnormally fat people and those with hideous acne conditions) to some of horror's classics (which he concludes have been made immortal largely due to the movie industry).

	'Salem's Lot - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was King's second published novel, and of all his early works, this novel has had the largest influence on his later works.
		Previously, King had written a short story called "Jerusalem's Lot", which takes place in the 19th century but provides some back-story for the setting of the novel.
		King reused the character Father Callahan, the local priest whose faith falters in the presence of Barlow, in his The Dark Tower series.

	cars - Stephen King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When Stephen was very young, his father (born David Spansky) deserted his family and Ruth raised Stephen and his brother David by herself, sometimes under great financial strain.
		Taken as a whole, King's work (which he claims is centered around his "Dark Tower" magnum opus) creates a remarkable history that stretches from present day all the way back to the beginning of time (which includes a considerably unique creation myth).
		Stephen King has also written at least one short story under the name John Swithen.

	The National Book Foundation
		King will deliver a keynote address to an audience of more than 1,000 authors, editors, publishers, friends, and supporters of books and book publishing.
		King's work has been translated into 33 languages, been published in 35 countries, and has been the basis for more than 70 films, television movies, and mini-series - a Guinness world record.
		King provides scholarships for Maine high school students, in addition to making contributions to local and national charities through The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation.

		When Stephen King was having lunch with Bruce Springstein, a young girl came to talk to him instead of Bruce.
		King was inspired to write it when he saw a pet cemetery that children had put together and his baby son crossing the road (that gave him the idea for the dead baby).
		Stephen King had a liberal arts education and was a teacher for a while.

		In the summer of 1999 King was in the middle of ; he'd finished the memoir section and abandoned the book for nearly eighteen months, unsure of how to proceed or whether to bother.
		He plead guilty to driving to endanger, the lesser charge, was sentenced to six months' jail time (sentence suspended) and had his driver's license suspended for a year (he had nearly a dozen previous infractions on record).
		In 1994, King won an O. Henry Award for his short story, "The Man in the Black Suit", and in 2003 King was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Book Awards.

		The final scene, with Arnie touching the emblem on Christine's grille before he dies, is one of the most touching in the early films of King's books, and also underlines the fact that he never escaped her grasp.
		Joe King, Stephen's son, is the boy at the start of the movie, and the cast also includes Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver, Leslie Nielsen, Carrie Nye and E.G. Marshall
		Stephen King is supposed to have carried a toy figure of Greedo from Star Wars (1977) on the set for good luck.

	Charnel House: The Stephen King Site for the Discerning Reader
		King said that he wrote the story based on the final image he would read in the story, and then worked from there.
		King discussed not one but two novels that may be in the works: a novel set in Florida, his "adopted home" (and where he's been spending about half of each year since 1998), and another hard-boiled detective story.
		CELL is classic Stephen King, a story of gory horror and white-knuckling suspense that makes the unimaginable entirely plausible and totally fascinating.

		All three Terminator films are extensively essayed; indeed, in the case where you see a film that's part of a series or has a notable remake, you can assume the other films get examined as well.
		Both films are actually reviewed and noted in the Canonical entry -- I originally had both of them sharing their Canonical space, but had to pick one over the other for the sake of the listing.
		King Kong and Godzilla are indeed both monster movies, which is a genre that has significant overlap in fantasy and SF.

	The Morning News - The Pop-Off King
		The memoir-ish parts were entertaining and I found his reading list interesting as well: his taste in literature is solid and unpretentious.
		I believe that 70 percent of the fiction and nonfiction best-seller list is dreck, and that The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, stands as a prime example.
		Stephen King’s success in adult fiction is singular.

	Stephen King - Wikiquote
		Stephen Edwin King (born 21 September 1947) is an American author best known for horror novels.
		A 2003 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Book Awards, King's books have been enormously successful, and are often featured on bestseller lists.
		I recognize terror as the finest emotion (used to almost quintessential effect in Robert Wise's film The Haunting, where, as in The Monkey's Paw, we are never allowed to see what is behind the door), and so I will try to terrorize the reader.

	MSN - News - The Best and Worst of Stephen King's Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mention "Stephen King movie" and most people think of a horror fest in which a) there's a monster out there and it's slowly gobbling us up, or b) a machine has come to life and it's slowly gobbling us up.
		But King's films are wide and varied, and with the release of the latest, "Secret Window" starring Johnny Depp, we decided to compile a list of the best and worst his fertile imagination has given Hollywood.
		That's all we're asking. Third, we're not considering most sequels unless King was directly involved, since, beyond a few characters and concepts, this stuff is no longer King's.

		Stephen King on what he is thankful for.
		I'm thankful every time I visit the Filthy Critic, because the guy who writes it is howlingly funny as well as honest (he was the first critic I read to point out that Open Water just wasn't that scary).
		Filthy, as he calls himself, gives films raised fingers instead of stars, and very little of what he writes could be quoted in a family magazine (such as this one, with its ads for booze and cigarettes).

		He doesn’t think there will be any substantial differences between the movie that airs and the film on the DVD, except that that DVD will be in widescreen 16:9 format, and without the commercial breaks.
		And the DVD will also have the 5.1 surround sound track, which really delivers the full orchestral score and sound mix the way it was intended.
		If produced, the BLACK HOUSE film will use visuals in the opening scenes to explain what has gone on before.
