Gah. I have nightmares about that sometimes.

*regrets reading The Tommyknockers*

That reminds me I need to get some batteries

Having never read the Tommyknockers, you will have to 'splain ze joke to me.

Person gets all freaky cancery from a buried alien ship and goes crazy and whatnot....right? It's been a very loooong time and I may be confusing it with another book.

 

[Leslie]

It's more alien-invadedey than cancery, but yep, right book.

It's a good one, you should read it Rob.

 

[tonksy]

No cancer? Did Stephen King write one about a person that went nutso from cancer and maybe I am morphing the 2 in my mind? Perhaps I should read the Tommyknockers again.

 

[unclehobart]

Hmm... This Stephen King... he writes scary stuff then?

 

[Leslie]

They're (the townfolks) all "becoming" aliens. I dunno 'bout a cancer one. Maybe you're just remembering the going bald and teeth falling out as cancery.

I think I can pinpoint a recurring nightmare to every one of his books that I've read.

 

[tonksy]

They all float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

"Late last night and the night before,
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, knocking at the door."

 

[tonksy]

There is whole generation of folks with the clown fear, myself included. I wonder perhaps if it has anything to do with John Wayne Gacy...or It for that matter.

 

[unclehobart]

He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts

The thing on the right is awesome

 

[unclehobart]

Go rent Killer Klowns From Outer Space sometime.
