The thing that I love about Stephen King is how well-versed he is in his genre. While some of these guys seem like they had outside literary aspirations and came almost accidentally to horror, King has an encyclopedic knowledge of these old pulp writers. You can always see that he is as big of a horror fan as he is a horror writer.

i like cavett more and more when i watch his interviews - here in the uk the famous interviewer was Parkinson, but a lot of the time he just seems to smarm and schmooze the guest into talking about themselves (or just their latest project). cavett really seems to know his stuff - he's either a fan, admirer whatever but he's amazingly well read and has done his research. then he manages to connect with his subject on a person-person level that brings the interview above the usual old guff

This is from 1980, during the time Cavett suffered through an intense bout of depression. Hindsight is always 20/20 but you can see he's not quite himself. Good to know he ultimately pulled through.

Stephen King goes with Richard Matheson. Absolutely goddamn right! Now, I'm off to watch Duel on Blu-ray to remind me how much I love that great storyteller.

@thiscorrosion900 4 жыл бұрын

Matheson and later the now late, great master Dennis Etchison, exemplified a kind of American (and Californian/western) Gothic, quite a bit more modern and rooted in everyday American life than most of the "classic" horror authors such as HPL or M. R. James (not American), and even more so than someone like Shirley Jackson, although she was absolutely a major influence on King and Straub and many others. Matheson and Etchison often exemplify a kind of "daylight" horror, rooted more in the mundane and banal of American life, shot through with a good dose of paranoia. Plus King doesn't mention here that HPL's stories always retain New England as the primary center of their focus, his own version of New England Gothic tradition, married to his cosmic horror vision. Lovecraft rarely used Europe as a setting or focus. Though HPL would also sometimes touch on this theme of "everyday" or "daylight" horror, such as in his early tale "Cool Air." Though usually Lovecraft wasn't concerned with the mundane, and his "Mythos" and its scares are tied to the notion that humans have no control, there is no God, but there are forces/entities in the universe which look at us like we're spots of dust, etc. Which is why a master like Ramsey Campbell can bust out a stupendous collection of horror tales (initially) rooted in "mundane" everyday life such as Demons By Daylight, a novel as harrowing about a deranged killer stalking Liverpool as The Face That Must Die, and then turn around and write something as phantasmagorical and hallucinatory as his novel Incarnate, and manage to scare on many different levels.

The Shining has a few similarities with Rosemary's Baby: 1. A young couple moves into a building with notorious reputation. 2. The building is under secret control of a sinister group (in Rosemary's Baby a witch cult, in the Shining the Overlook is controlled by a ghost group. 3. In both stories the husband secretly joins the sinister group (Guy joins the witches, Jack joins the ghost group). 4. In both stories the husband is a struggling artist of so.e kind(Rosemary's Baby Guy is an actor, in the Shining Jack is a writer). 5. In both stories the little boy character is more or less the focal point of all the horror. 6. In both stories the woman is taken advantage by the husband. 7.

2:33 George Romero is about to say something really interesting about Richard Matheson, which is what Cavett asked about in the first place, when Stephen King interrupts him to blather about a Spielberg movie that he liked.

Agree, completely-a lost opportunity. King blabs too damn much and Ira Levin was unfortunately not given enough chat time. I would have loved for Cavett to have queried him on “This Perfect Day” (1970) since The novel is a direct reflection of our current and horrid state of affairs in this world.

Interesting that the two timeless horror stories (Dracula & Frankenstein) were written by one-hit wonders, but important to note that both Stoker and Shelley came from extremely rich artistic milieus. Stoker was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, where he must have been something of an eminence gris to Yeats, Arthur Conan Doyle, Algernon Blackwood and others - all of whom interestingly were members of Britain's Ghost Club - the original "paranormal investigators" founded by Charles Dickens. One thing great artists have in common - they don't just come out of nowhere and pull ideas and techniques out of the ether. They have a deep connection to tradition, which you can really feel in this conversation.

Now THIS is an epic round. (R.I.P. George A. Romero) Thank you so much for uploading this. However i disagree with Straub. I think even as an Adult you can still enjoy Howard Philip Lovecraft's novels because the way he wrote his horror being the vague mysterious ancient horrors of the ageless creatures and their reign of terror and brutal madness that no human mind can really comprehend. And that speaks to the primal fears of man. The terror of a force that we have no power of (and which has been there even long before mankind existed) and the deranged out of world chaos that deeply shakes man's perception of reality. However i can see why it's not for everyone and i suppose many find Lovecraft's way of writing too repetitive in the way he describes the horrors with the ever same or similar sounding phrasing.

@Paulafan5 5 жыл бұрын

For an adult Horror writer, Lovecraft may seem like it's more for teens.

@thiscorrosion900 4 жыл бұрын

Lovecraft's best work is not really concerned with humanity: it's concerned with getting across the terror of a totally arbitrary, hostile universe without meaning but that may contain malevolent forces that we can never hope to remotely comprehend. There's the existential horror of King's Misery of being the captive of an insane number one fan, and then there's Lovecraft's horror in The Call of Cthulhu of the revelation that mankind is totally insignificant, and the vast scope and ramifications of that. There's some truth that Lovecraft tends to make more of an impression on readers at a tender age (as it absolutely did for me in the early 1980s), but his best work, I think, holds up on an adult level. Honestly these days I prize writers like Robert Aickman, Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell, Dennis Etchison, Shirley Jackson, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, M. R. James, and a few others a lot more than Lovecraft. A lot of Lovecraft's early stuff is pretty crummy. A handful of his mid to late tales and novellas are great, to me, and that's about it. But I can read anything by Robert Aickman and it impresses me more as an adult than anything by Lovecraft. Although Aickman wasn't concerned with "cosmic" horror, but more psychological terror and unease.

Daaaaamn, King is the king of ugliness!!!

I think King is supremely overrated and his obsessional writing on child sexuality speaks volumes.

well, i can even agree about "overrated" but the second part of rhe sentence is a little ridicoulous: the classic mistake to confuse opera and author. it s a theme, not an obsession: useless maybe, but just a theme

Your probably right,I just couldn’t imagine randomly throwing it in a story I can be quite sensitive on the subject though and should give people benefit of doubt.

Well not to be in King's defense but he was high on cocaine while writing IT and many other books.
