The King is Back

Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie

I was searching through my channel guide the other day and came across an interesting mini-series on A&E. Maybe I missed it when it came out last year. Before I got my http://www.cabletvadvisor.com/direct-tv-deals.html I didn’t have as many channels and maybe I didn’t have A&E then. Or maybe I skipped over it not realizing it was by Stephen King. Anyway, it’s a Stephen King story with a lot of familiar people. Jason Priestley from the original 90210, Pierce Brosnan and a girl I recognize but didn’t recognize her name in the credits. Per typical Stephen King, it’s a creepy story involving a stumped, grieving writer and his descent into madness. While at times campy with some over-the-top acting, the story still sucks you in and sends chills down your spine. After watching it I certainly had trouble sleeping—his stories always get under my skin. It’s called Bag of Bones and is well worth two evenings of watching if you enjoy Stephen King stories and or just creepy tales
