Stephen King To Get The Rights Back To Several Films Based On His Work

Stephen King had a busy week, as he was filing to get the rights back to several 80s films based on his work. As it turns out, the films in question are The Dead Zone, Cujo, Creepshow, Cat’s Eye, Firestarter and Children of the Corn. The question on many horror fans’ minds is “why”? One rumor is that King wants control of the rights free and clear so that he can use the characters in the upcoming Hulu series Castle Rock, helmed by J.J. Abrams. That would imply that the new show will include elements from the period of what some argue is King’s best work. Either way, Castle Rock is certainly something for horror fans to look forward to. Stay tuned here at horrorfuel.com for all the details on the upcoming series.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Adrienne Barbeau

Greetings my Little Monsters. I see you have returned to find out which wonderful woman of the horror genre is in the spotlight today. As you have already seen, this week’s Woman Crush is the immensely talented Adrienne Barbeau. Adrienne is a California girl, born and raised in the city of Sacramento. Her career began when she started touring with the San Jose Civic Light Opera in 1963. It was when she went on tour through Southeast Asia with a musical comedy revue, to provide entertainment for military personnel, that Adrienne truly fell in love with acting. She moved to New York in the late 60’s to further pursue her dream of acting. And as many actors and actresses must do, she took a job that would pay the bills while auditioning for roles. One job she held while living in New York, was as a go-go dancer for a particular infamous organization. I won’t give their name, but I’ll
