Over the past four decades, the Stephen King movie has become a
genre unto itself. Stephen King Films FAQ is the most comprehensive
overview of this body of work to date, encompassing well-known hits
as well as forgotten obscurities, critical darlings and reviled
flops, films that influenced King as well as those that have
followed in his footsteps, upcoming and unmade projects, and
selected works in other media (including comic books, radio dramas,
and the infamous Carrie musical). Author Scott Von Doviak provides
background information, analysis, and trivia. All you ever wanted
to know about the king of horror onscreen can be found here.
It’s the summer of ’74…Richard Nixon has resigned from
office, CB radios are the hot new thing, and in the great state of
Texas two cousins hatch a plan to drive $1 million worth of stolen
weed to Idaho, where some lunatic is gearing up to jump Snake River
Canyon on a rocket-powered motorcycle. But with a vengeful sheriff
on their tail and the revered and feared marijuana kingpin of
Central Texas out to get his stash back, Chuck and Dean are in for
the ride of their lives – if they can make it out alive… Scott
Von Doviak, longtime pop-culture journalist for The A.V. Club, Film
Threat, The Hollywood Reporter, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
made a splash with his debut novel, CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL, which
Stephen King called “terrific” and “a fun machine…the
white-knuckle kind.” With LOWDOWN ROAD, he cements his reputation
for pedal-to-the-metal storytelling that also makes you think about
just who we are and where our darker roads might lead us.

later, the last surviving thief gets out of jail and goes hunting
for the loot, involving some innocent college students in his
dangerous plan - and thirty years after that, in the present day,
the former college kids, now all grown up, are drawn back into
danger as the still-missing art tempts a deadly new generation of
treasure hunters. A breathtakingly clever, twist-filled narrative
that moves from 1946 to 1988 to 2014 and back again, CHARLESGATE
