Remember when Dean Norris went from an Emmy-worthy performance in Breaking Bad to thinking he was speaking to a holy membrane in Under the Dome and we all called Dean to make sure he was alright? Hope you have Frances Conroy in your address book. There's an actor involved who is too good for the adaptation See also: The Shining, Misery, Bag of Bones, Salem's Lot and many other of King's works.Ĥ. They say write what you know, right? Well, King knows that he's an author living in Maine. Kevin Copeland ( Morgan Spector) is a former journalist and current children's book author. If you want more answers, you'll have to make them up on your own.
All you have to know is that if you go into the mist, you're gonna get dead. That's pretty much true for the titular poofy death fog of The Mist. I am the internet's premiere Under the Dome expert and I still don't know what the dome was or how it got there. And frequently, it doesn't even matter what the explanation for that thing is. There's a supernatural mystery that threatens to kill everyone but doesn't have a discernible origin and may never get oneįor King, the terror doesn't always lie in the monsters of the book, but how humans react to the horrifying sentient machine/haunted hotel/undead pets. If only there was a dome to keep all this mist in one place, right?Ģ. The Mist is set in the town of Bridgeville, Maine, likely based on the real town of Bridgton, Maine, which was also the inspiration for Under the Dome's Chester's Mill. King is a proud Mainean, featuring America's pointy nose in pretty much every single one of his stories. Let's look at all the Stephen King tropes from the first episode of The Mist. Why? Because The Mist falls victim to the many Stephen King tropes out there, made achingly apparent in the translation from book to television, where broader strokes make do over more analytical prose. After one episode, it's hard to tell what we can expect in terms of quality - it wasn't a good start for the series - but we at least have an idea of what's coming. Spike's new series The Mist adapts King's short story about a killer cloud that terrorizes a - you guessed it - small town in the Northeast. How does he do it? Well, the truth is that there's a bit of a formula that goes into a King story, a formula that is also found in the adaptations of his works. Stephen King is a master of the page whose stories have terrified millions, in part because he's so prolific and can churn out tales of horror by the bucketload.
