It’s time to look up from your copies of Holly, Constant Readers! You may have seen the news from this past weekend with John Carpenter sending best wishes to Bryan Fuller regarding the Hannibal creator’s upcoming remake of Christine, but that’s not the only interesting development that has emerged from the world of Stephen King in the last few days. Not only has the author dropped a new horror movie recommendation for spooky season on social media, but there was also an exciting streaming announcement and there is now an opportunity to witness a unique adaptation of a King classic.

All of that and more is packed into this week’s edition of The King Beat, so let’s dig in – and let's all wish a very happy birthday to the legendary author, who turns 76 today!
