The Mist

Last night we got to talking about a new movie coming out soon with a plot that reminded me of one of my favorite Stephen King stories, Autopsy Room 4–found in Everything’s Eventual. The gist of the story is that a man finds himself paralyzed in an autopsy room, with the coroners preparing to perform an autopsy—on him! He’s fully aware of everything going on, but he can’t do anything about it.

It’s a short story, but it had me so on edge! Even after I was finished, I couldn’t get over the idea of being in a situation like that. How terrifying! The suspense was absolutely killer. Was he really just able to move his toe? Did anyone notice? Will he be able to move anything significant in time? Ahh!

The Mist by Stephen King is next on my list of must see’s. A group of townspeople find themselves trapped inside a local grocery store by an unrelenting mist. They soon discover that there’s something in the mist. But what’s more frightful, what’s in the mist, or what these ordinary people turn into in the face of otherworldly danger?

Be sure to check out the trailer yourself and think about how scary the unknown can be. Be even more sure to go out and see in on November 21st. I’m not expecting King to let us down.
