1976, Brian de Palma directs Carrie, the first novel by Stephen King. Since then, more than 50 directors have adapted the master of horror’s books, in more than 80 films and series, making him the most adapted author alive in the world . What’s so fascinating about him that filmmakers cannot stop adapting his works?
KING ON SCREEN reunites the filmmakers that have adapted Stephen King’s books for cinema and TV, including Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Walking Dead), Tom Holland (The Langoliers, Chucky), Mick Garris (The Stand, Sleepwalkers) and Taylor Hackford (Dolores Claiborne, Ray). It is a movie made for the fans and with the fans, led by an international ambition.
Check out the trailer now and see the film in select theaters August 11, 2023 and On Demand and Blu-Ray September 8, 2023.

Tom Cruise and Tim Curry in Ridley Scott’s LEGEND (1985) will be available on Blu-ray September 28th from Arrow Video
This is such stuff as dreams are made of. This is Legend.
After changing the face of science fiction cinema forever with Alien and Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott turned his visionary eye to the fantasy genre, teaming with writer William Hjortsberg (Angel Heart) to create a breathtaking cinematic fairytale with one of the screen’s most astonishingly rendered depictions of Evil. In an idyllic, sun-dappled forest, the pure-hearted Jack (Tom Cruise) takes his true love Princess Lili (Mia Sara) to see a pair of unicorns frolicking at the forest’s edge. Little do they know, however, that the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry, in a remarkable make-up designed by The Thing’s Rob Bottin) has dispatched his minions to capture the unicorns and sever their horns so that he may plunge the world into everlasting night. After Lili and the unicorns are taken prisoner, Jack must team with a group of forest creatures and descend into Darkness’ subterranean lair to face off against the devilish creature before it is too late. Despite a troubled production in which the elaborate full-size forest set was accidentally incinerated and a lengthy post-production that resulted in multiple versions of the film (with competing music scores by Jerry Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream), Legend has since been restored to Scott’s original cut and embraced by generations of film fans eager to see a master director’s unique vision of a world beyond our imagination.

They come wearing bustiers, corsets, and great gouts of eyeliner. And some women get into the act too! THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, the longest-running midnight and audience partici-(SAY IT!)-pation movie of them all, will play at Landmark’s Tivoli Theater in St. Louis this weekend at midnight (October 19th and 20th) and next (October 26th and 27th) at midnight . The Tivoli does this every year and the shows are often sell-outs, so get your tickets early! The Tivoli does a great job of making ROCKY HORROR an interactive movie experience with a live “Shadow Cast” known as The Samauri Electricians who perform scenes during the movie and of course the audience is encouraged to respond to the on-screen action as well. The street party always starts early as attendees dressed as Frank N. Furter, Riff Raff, Magenta, and the gang line up outside the Tivoli hours before showtime and We Are Movie Geeks will be there to snap pics and help get the audience riled up. The Tivoli encourages folks to attend in costume, but does not allow outside props, but they do sell an essential “prop bag” for only three dollars. The bag contains rice, toilet paper, Glow Sticks, Time Warp Fliers, Rubber Gloves, Noisemakers, Confetti, and everything you’ll need even if you’re a ROCKY HORROR “Virgin” experiencing the fun for the first time. I used to see ROCKY HORROR at the (now-defunct) Varsity theater down the street in the late 1970′s and not much has changed in 30+ years, my only observation being that this new generation of fans is even less inhibited and likes to show off more skin (not that I’m complaining – they’re in better shape!) We hope to see everyone at the Tivoli (6350 Delmar Boulevard) the next two weekends.
Admission is $10
And that’s the end of this year’s Tivoli Midnight series. Check back here ate We Are Movie Geeks in the Spring when the midnight season heats up again! And check back next week for some new photos of the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW Midnight show taking place this weekend and next.

“Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!”
CLUE plays midnights this weekend (June 22nd and 23rd) at The Tivoli Theater as part of the Reel late at The Tivoli Midnight series.
Way back in 1985, before we were translating literally every board game, video game, or action figure into a movie, there was CLUE.
As in the Parker Brothers board game, seven suspects find themselves in a mysterious mansion with the body of someone who has been murdered by one of them. Was it Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull) with the revolver in the conservatory? Or was it Miss Scarlett (Lesley Ann Warren) with the rope in the billiards room?
Could it be both?
CLUE was filmed with three possible endings. That’s 321 fewer endings than the board game permits, but two endings more than offered by most movies.
“What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?” Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd) asks.
“No, just death,” replies Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan). “Isn’t that enough?”
When I first saw this film back in 1985, I found it a tiresome retread of Neil Simon’s MURDER BY DEATH with director Jonathan Lynn’s pratfall-heavy jokiness a poor substitute for Neil Simon’s scriptwork. Even the cast seemed a bit of a comedown, though Eileen Brennan was in both films. It was not a box-office success then, but time has done funny things to CLUE. Not only has it developed a huge cult following, but my own eyes have been opened to the slow-burning cleverness of Lynn’s well-presented concept and a cast that, perhaps because it had no A-list stars, felt more need to dig into the material and get every last bit of funny out of it. You might miss Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn) the first time she says her husband just “lies around on his back all day”, but you know enough to laugh the second time.
“Husbands should be like Kleenex, soft, strong, and disposable,” says Mrs. White.
“You lure men to their death like a spider with flies!”
“Flies are where men are most vulnerable.”
The lines are seldom as good as that – though the late Ms Kahn seems to get the best ones, and there’s some weak business involving pseudonyms and minor characters that only gets in the way of the central business. I still groan at the line “Communism was just a red herring“.
But CLUE succeeds in its central mission of merry-making, aided by the multiple-ending gimmick and Tim Curry’s central role as the zany butler Wadsworth who recaps the entire movie in five minutes. The pratfalls are a lot better than I thought the first time, too.
Now you can see CLUE, and ALL THREE of its endings on the big screen when it screens midnights this weekend ( June 22 and 23) at The Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.
