Halloween… ’80s style!
With big screen adaptations of The Dark Tower and It both headed our way next year, you could say that Stephen King is as relevant today as he’s ever been. Even the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things,” which King had no involvement in, plays out like a big ole love letter to the horror master’s work, and so too will this week’s episode of “The Goldbergs.”
The ’80s-set ABC series, which began its fourth season last month, will air a special Halloween episode this Wednesday night that will pay tribute to Stephen King and his incredible volume of work, and in a Twitter exchange with @pattonoswalt, King just noted that he’ll be watching…
In the October 26th episode, titled “Stefan King”:
Adam’s love of Stephen King inspires him to try his hand at horror writing. After learning the monster in Adam’s story is based off Beverly, she forces Adam to stay in on Halloween and rewrite it, hoping he depicts her as a better mother. Meanwhile, Erica is desperate to find a date to the costume dance and forces Barry go with her.
