HPL Adult Zoom, Main Auditorium

A look at Stephen King's famous films with film historian Greg Blank.

Stephen King is known as the master of horror writing. Many of the greatest films in history are based on his writings, but not all his stories are horrors.  Some are (The Shining, Carrie, The Dead Zone), but many are not (Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile).  We will look at the writing career and subsequent adaptations into classic films of many of King’s novels and short stories. During the class we will also view clips from films and interviews with King and various collaborators to see how the master of horror fiction morphed into one of the masters of film storytelling. Registration is required. Open to all.
