“The Mist” Will Seep its Way Into Your Television

Published

Dimension Television has announced that there will be a continuing series of the Stephen King novella “The Mist“, which was adapted into film in 2007 by Frank Darabont (“The Walking Dead”, The Shawshank Redemption). It will be adapted for the small screen by writer Christian Torpe, who has the successful Danish show “Rita”. King himself has apparently given his blessings for this series.

No other details have emerged.

“The Mist” is one of my favorite King stories and the movie is, in my opinion, an amazing example of the importance of horror in film. I remember seeing it and nearly bawling my eyes out at the end. To see this become a TV series is both incredibly exciting and absolutely terrifying at the same time. It could either be really great or really awful. But perhaps the worst thing is if it fell in between those two and simply became something forgettable, something this story surely isn’t.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
