Ep 34: A Bev Vincent Revival
Posted: August 23, 2014, 23:04:28With your hosts Hans Lilja of Lilja's Library and Lou Sytsma.
Welcome to Episode 34 of The Stephen King Podcast!
We're Back! After a summer hiatus we return with a KING Sized Episode and special returning guest - writer and Stephen King expert - Bev Vincent.
We have a lot of Stephen King news covering movies, tv series, stage, and of course books.
Bev joins us to talk about Haven as we talk about our thoughts on the series past seasons and the upcoming Season 5. Bev shares what he did on his summer vacation which included a set visit to Haven.
Then Bev sticks around and we compare notes on the current season of Under The Dome.
Before Bev leaves us, he sets our old school King horror taste buds salivating with his nonspoilery thoughts on King's next book - Revival - which he just finished reading. To say we are left chomping at the bit to get our hands on this is a vast understatement.
We hope you enjoy this episode and, as usual, we want to hear from you.

More details about the book:
SYNOPSIS
Few horror films in the history of television can boast the deadly seriousness, inspired casting, indelible images and lingering impact of Salem’s Lot. Tobe Hooper’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 1975 novel about vampires that infest a small Maine town was first broadcast in November 1979.
The three-hour film featured unforgettable performances by an array of stars — James Mason, David Soul, Lew Ayres, Bonnie Bedelia — along with one of the most truly terrifying monsters in the history of movies: the feral vampire Mr Barlow played by Reggie Nalder.
This book documents the gestation and production of the film. There are reminiscences from cast and crew, including new and exclusive interviews with Tobe Hooper, David Soul, cinematographer Jules Brenner and producer Richard Kobritz; dozens of images, including many never before published behind-the-scenes production stills; deleted scenes from the original teleplay; foreign posters and artwork inspired by the film; photographs of Ferndale, California, where the exteriors ofSalem’s Lot were filmed; and much, much more.

Plus Hans and I discuss our differing reactions to a petition brought to our attention by Bryant Burnette to have a re-editted version of the 2013 Carrie movie done for home video.
Here are some links Bryant provided:
"There is a petition online (http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/carriepetition) to try and convince Sony to release an Extended Edition of the recent "Carrie" remake.
There is also a Facebook page for the movement (https://www.facebook.com/CarriePetition), which updates frequently with all sorts of cool stuff regarding what is known about the footage that was cut of of the final edit of the film."
As usual, we bring you the latest Stephen King News.
We hope you enjoy this episode and, as usual, we want to hear from you.

Welcome to Episode 28 of The Stephen King Podcast!
As usual, we bring you the latest Stephen King News.

An original work, created for television, by Stephen King who penned most of the episodes. It concerns a 70 year old Harlan Williams - a nod to Harlan Ellison perhaps? - who begins to age backwards and glow green at times - among other oddities. Is Golden Years the real deal or Fool's Gold? Or a mix of both? Listen to what we have to say. (Note - this segment runs in full SPOILER mode so if you have not seen the series as of yet and plan to do so, you may want to save this for later listening.)

Jeremy is the web site moderator of the French Stephen King website - Club Stephen King

Press conference (video in english)
Evening with King (video in english, not translated simultaneously). We can see that King is having fun as well as being impressed by the translator
Recap (in french) of all the french events as well as numerous pictures & videos/audios (mostly in french)
Pictures & videos from the signing event
Thanks Jeremy for your report and the links. It was great to meet you!
