Absolutely loved the movie. One of the better King adaptations (my favorite is ‘The Stand’).

One of my favorites was "The Dead Zone" with Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. I read somewhere that Stephen King wasn't that fond of it, or most movie adaptations. In fact, I read he wasn't particularly thrilled with "The Shining", which was a tremendous success.

‘The Dead Zone’ was not a bad one. I am a pretty big King fan, but I couldn’t get into the Dark Tower series. I read ‘11/22/63’ recently. That one sucks you in and doesn’t let go.

‘The Shining’ was creepy! Several ghost hunting groups have investigated the Stanley Hotel in Colorado (the inspiration for ‘The Shining’), and have found a lot of paranormal activity there. I have loved the macabre and paranormal stuff since I was a teenager. Now my daughters like it too.

I loved "The Dead Zone" so much I could recite the script by heart..."The ICE...is going to...BREAK!!!"

Then I got older and realized the bad guy (Sheen) was a crazy Christian conservative (sad face). But any movie with Christopher Walken and Tom Skerritt, in their prime, still ROCKS!
