Mama Bug here. Not only am I taking care of my lovelies, and working on my side gig - I am working on a novel. About murder... killers... you can't turn away!

@chrislhayes Does he not realize that dead people don't contribute to the economy?

@jddolfan @kim @tombrokaw He was impeached by the House. He just wasn't voted out of office by the Senate.

For loyal @StephenKing fans - which movies in the #thrillerathon follows closest to the book, and which ones did you walk out of the theater asking "was that even the same story?"

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

So this is the list of @StephenKing #thrillerathon - what are the most egregiously missing movies from the list? Cat's Eye? The Dark Half? What's your opinion?

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

My first R-rated movie I remember seeing was Firestarter - another @StephenKing classic. Saw in the theaters with my dad. Just to give you an idea - I'm the same age as Drew Barrymore!

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

The Mist
Salem's Lot
It (2017)
Carrie (1976)
The Shining
Misery

Not a bad list I think!

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

Another way to watch the @StephenKing #thrillerathon is by ratings - saving the best for last. By my math from Fandango - average between audience and Rotten Tomatoes ratings - least to greatest
Dreamcatcher
Thinner
Children of the Corn
Cujo
Pet Sematary (1989)
Christine

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

Colorado - The Shining, Misery
Nebraska - Children of the Corn
Pennsylvania - Christine

Then there's the Creepshow.

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

Another way I thought to watch the @StephenKing #thrillerathon - geographically. But that didn't help either. Turns out Steve likes familiar surroundings
Maine - Carrie, Cujo, Dreamcatcher, The Mist, Pet Sematary, Salem's Lot
Connecticut - Thinner

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

So how would you watch the @StephenKing #thrillerathon? One way I thought was by rating - R rating scarier than PG13 etc but ends up all but a couple are rated R, and the others are NR. So that doesn't help.

[WritingMamaBug @bug_writing]

@StephenKing #thrillerathon - Misery
When a writer is "rescued" by his favorite fan you'd think it would be good luck. Until she finds out you killed off her favorite character! With a little influence - and a sledgehammer - maybe she can change your mind

@StephenKing #thrillerathon - Thinner
Nothing to do with Slender Man is it? Or a bulimic's guide?

@StephenKing #thrillerathon - The Shining
Haven't seen - but who doesn't know something on this Kubrick masterpiece.
Here's Johnny!
Red rum red rum
Shelley Duvall, Jack Nicholson...
