S1:E4 - The Mist by Stephen King (2007 Film)

In this episode, we kick off our spooky-themed month with the king of horror and compare Stephen King’s sci-fi psychological horror novella “The Mist” to its 2007 movie adaptation starring several familiar faces (if you happen to be a fan of The Walking Dead). As always, we share our thoughts, break down the book vs. the movie, talk about movie-related background info, and laugh…A LOT.
