According to mail I got from a fellow King fan on the net, it's been rescheduled for April 27 (2 weeks before FIRESTARTER). I agree that in general, the movies based on King material have been fairly lackluster. CARRIE was the best (even better than the book, which I thought rather mediocre); THE SHINING was very good/scary, but a poor adaptation of the novel; CUJO and CHRISTINE, while not as rich as the books, were reason- ably good; 'SALEM'S LOT and THE DEAD ZONE was poor; CREEPSHOW had its moments. I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if CHILDREN OF THE CORN turns out decent- ly (but then, I never expected that I'd like CUJO). FIRESTARTER I'm really look- ing forward to. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
