A Fourth Film Challenge Emerges: Mighty Mick

While watching Halloween but thinking about The Shining miniseries from 1997 I had tried to find on YouTube earlier in the day but couldn't, and admittedly being influenced by a handful of bottles of Yuengling on this Monday night, I decided that I was going to add a much bigger master challenge to the three I earlier discussed: I wanted to watch the entire film and TV miniseries filmography of Mick Garris, plus the episodes of Masters of Horror and Fear Itself (both of which he created) that he himself directed.

Mick became known as one of Stephen King's preferred directors, doing The Sleepwalkers on the big screen for him and The Stand which I just recently purchased on VHS and The Shining from 1997 which just tonight I purchased on VHS when I decided I was going to embark on this project and later doing Bag of Bones in the early 10s too. However, it was through his creation of Masters of Horror and Fear Itself, and then as one of the top horror-focused podcast hosts in the business where he truly became a big name in the genre and I'm a huge fan of Masters of Horror and own the first season on DVD.

Let's give a spotlight to one of the true working men of horror filmmaking.

The Green Mile (1999) - Syrupy Collection of Great Character Actors

The Green Mile was a film that was in a regular rotation for my mom and stepdad when I was growing up, so I saw it many times in the late 90s and early 00s. My love of Stephen King mostly comes from my dad, who owned the first King book I ever read myself in late elementary school (Skeleton Crew) and numerous others I looked at on his shelf all the time and showed me miniseries like IT and The Stand. However, my mom contributed a little bit too with the likes of Creepshow and some of his other 80s adaptations and of course The Green Mile. So I figured why not revisit it since I own it? My biggest problem with The Green Mile is one I share with its spiritual sibling in The Shawshank Redemption which is that it is just very sentimental and sometimes even downright corny. Movies seemingly designed to make middle aged dads get in touch with their emotions by layering that syrup on thick. There’s a place for that and I understand why people really enjoy it, but it just simply isn’t ...

Cat's Eye (1985) - Kitty Across America

There are two important facts about me, two important obsessions that haunt me: a love of anthology series and a love of Stephen King adaptations of all shapes and colors. As sometimes I imply on here, I’m a regular collector of physical media from VHS and Laserdiscs to DVDs and Blurays, and a big bulk of my DVD and Bluray collection are horror or other genre anthology TV series and you better bet I own physical copies of a number of anthology films too including both closely associated with King (as part of the same $20 box set): Creepshow and Cat’s Eye. One day I will formally write a review of Creepshow but I’ll spoil my feelings about it by saying it is absolutely one of my favorite horror films of all time to the point that it is almost certainly in my top 20, maybe top 10 favorite films of all time. So the first time I watched Cat’s Eye, which I believe was maybe pre-Covid, I had one of my favorite films ever made to compare it to and it sagged in my estimation as a result...

Scream (1996) - Williamson Dialogue Hasn't Always Aged Well, Though Iconic All the Same

My mom grew up among the slasher golden era of the 80s, so she adored the genre and many of the 2000+ VHS tapes she had around for a lot of my childhood were various slasher franchises and what we didn’t have by 7 or 8 I was begging my parents to rent for me from Hollywood Video or Movie Starz on a regular basis. So it goes without saying that Scream coming in and revitalizing the entire genre’s popularity for a handful of years was a big deal in our household and I was probably very young the first time I saw it which was likely not long after it came out on tape in probably ‘97, same with the sequels in later years. I then proceeded to watch it so many times across my childhood well into adulthood that practically every line and scene and even delivery are memorized at that point, which made stepping back to write as objective a review as I can somewhat difficult but I found the more of a critical eye I applied to it the more it worked out. As always starting with the negat...
