Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) returns to The Kingcast to talk about his new film, DROP (releasing this weekend in a theater near you) as well as Stephen King's THE MIST.

This wide-ranging conversation covers Chris's relationship with King's work, his famous father's influence in pointing him towards horror when he was a kid, his bizarre first read through of The Mist at age 12 (this story involves a real life death, by the way), his reaction to Frank Darabont's adaptation and so much more.

Both The Mist and our guest's latest film, Drop, are contained pot-boilers as a small group of people share the same small common area as wild stuff is happening outside. One involves creepy cell phone drops, the other tentacled monsters, but go with us with this comparison.
