The Outsider is One of Stephen King's Most Disturbing Stories

 


The Outsider is one of the few Stephen King stories that makes me feel sick to my stomach. The story is both a horror and detective crime story, when it comes to the terrifying case of a child who is murdered. People claim that they saw a man named Terry Maitland, covered in the blood of the kid he killed. He is immediately arrested for this crime, but the case only gets stranger when the detective realizes that Terry was in two places at once. 

This discovery leads to something far darker, to the possible existence of a monster that is a shapeshifter, taking on the appearance of anyone to commit his sick crimes. 

I struggled to get through this story, due to how horrific the crimes were. This is one of the few Stephen King books I would not recommend to anyone. Viewer discretion is strongly advised for anyone interested in checking out this book. 

I had to take a two week break while reading this one.

Horror Movie Trailers Are Starting to Piss Me Off Again

Image
  Credit to Rotten Tomatoes  I went to the movies last night to go watch the film,  Babygirl . The movie surprised me in many ways, and I was left speechless multiple times. Like what the heck did I just watch?? Before the movie began, like in any theater, I was watching several trailers. I watched three horror movie trailers that caught my attention: 1. Companion is going to be released on January 31st.  Credit to Bloody Disgusting Even though I now have an idea what the movie is going to be about, not enough was shown for me to fully understand just what the hell was going on.  I won’t spoil anything here, because I know that this film is going to be a complete surprise to everyone. The premise is already so original! 2. Death of a Unicorn is going to be released sometime this year.  Credit to A24 The trailer showed enough for me to become invested, and I died of laughter in several scenes. The cast also looks really awesome, and the monster that will be...

Are We Horror Fans Finally Getting an R.L. Stine Fear Street Movie?

  Credit to Netflix Announces ‘Fear Street 1988: Prom Queen’ for 2025 Release [Poster] — Bloody Disgusting While R.L. Stine is known for creating the iconic Goosebumps series for children, he also created a horror series for young adults, known as the Fear Street novels.  I felt that this series was extremely underrated, and I always wondered if there would ever be a movie on any of these horror novels one day.  We did get a trilogy of Fear Street on Netflix, but I’ll be referring to his standalone horror novels for this article. We are getting a film based on one of his books, Prom Queen, that will be releasing sometime this year.  This story is a pretty simple slasher tale. Several candidates have been selected for prom queen, and the students are getting killed one by one, in order for the killer to obtain the title of prom queen.  This idea already sounds absolutely insane, because how the hell would someone be that desperate to be picked as prom queen i...

Will Jurassic World Rebirth Bring Life Back to the Dinosaur Franchise?

  Credit to I Love Jurassic World Rebirth’s Confirmed Lineup Of Dinosaurs, But There’s One Mysterious Dino I Need To Know More About | Cinemablend I finally got to watch the Jurassic World Rebirth trailer during Superbowl, and I got several pros and cons with this new film for the Jurassic Park franchise. I got to be honest here, I’m not sure how to feel about the new movies anymore.  I think the old three films to the Jurassic Park franchise will always be the best ones by far. I don’t care if fans weren’t a huge fan of Jurassic Park 3 , it’s ten times better than the last two films we got in the reboot lol. The ideas were awesome, but poorly executed in the last two films. I was so lost with the introduction of the little girl who was part robot and dinosaur. Like what the hell happened??? Anyway, after I watched the Jurassic World Rebirth trailer, here are several reasons why I think the movie might work or might not work.  First Pro: We are getting a mutant dinosa...
