Clark Collis is known as an entertainment journalist, historian, and author and comes at this conversation with a ton of love for the horror genre and of Stephen King's work therein. He's also ready to drop a few entertaining film coverage stories with his fellow ex-pat journalist pals who just so happen to host this show.
Clark Collis returns to The Kingcast to discuss a very specific moment in horror cinema: the '90s through the early 2010s. His new book, Screaming and Conjuring, takes us through that era of many hits, twice as many misses, and a genre that was feeling lost as it whiplashed between generic studio remakes, found footage ripoffs, and torture porn.
King's genre work was getting some pretty bad adaptations in this era, too, and we discuss that, King's own film criticism work at Entertainment Weekly, and his support for the genre even when it was down and out.
