💀🧑💻A Spook-A-Doodle Bracketology Tournament & Movie Club Collection👩💻💀 and an offshoot of 🎈All Hail Stephen King🪓.
I was gonna put Flanagan with Kubrick. That would have been funnier. But look, Mike Flanagan and Mick Garris have two big things in common. One is a tendency to make Stephen King adaptions. Another is a real hatred from horror fans. But not me. I love them. Garris isn’t great but he’s a nice guy who loves horror and helps make a lot happen like Masters of Horror. And he’s got a few good movies. Critters 2 is better than the original. And Mike Flanagan is a guy I love. His stuff is a lot less about scaring people or gore or “fun kills”…

His stuff is a lot less about scaring people or gore or “fun kills” or any of that stuff and more about the old “haunting” idea of loss and grief and human emotions. And I think he does it well. I like him. I like both of them. I like King too. So to all the haters we all say 🖕.
Imagine if this was just like 10 4-8 hour miniseries?
