“We may only feel really comfortable with horror as long as we can see the zipper running up the monster’s back.”
—Stephen King (born September 21, 1947, in Portland, Maine)
Following on the heels of his 70th birthday this year—and the release of the big-screen adaptation of his novelIt—Halloween seems a fitting time to celebrate Maine’s horror master. Just don’t do it at his Bangor mansion, please: To cut down on holiday crowds at their gate, King and wife Tabitha have been known to publish ads in the local paper saying they would not be home on Halloween night.
