Butcher Billy’s Song Titles Turned into Stephen King Covers!
An artist who calls himself Butcher Billy came up with a pretty cool idea for a series of prints. He takes song titles from the 70’s and 80’s, re-imagines them as titles of Stephen King books and then creates the covers.
Very clever and very well done!

I will show a few snippets from each zine and give you a link to download a pdf of the whole thing, which I hope all of you will do!

The Top 10 Stephen King Movies of All Time
Alex Maidy and JoBlo.com present their choices for the Top 10 Stephen King Movies of All Time. Using just their choices here are my top three…
#1 – THE MIST
Frank Darabont films represent three of the films on this list but it is THE MIST that deserves the number one spot. A perfect representation of King’s sense of horror combined with a master filmmaker’s eye for framing and storytelling. Couple a stellar ensemble cast led by Thomas Jane with one of the most gut-wrenching endings in movie history, THE MIST shows what can be accomplished when a Stephen King novel is given the best treatment possible.
#5 – STAND BY ME
Based on King’s novella “The Body”, STAND BY ME is a movie that represents an entire generation. Helmed by Rob Reiner, this is a movie about growing up that proved Stephen King was more than just a writer of horror stories. This film encapsulates the adventure young kids have gone on for generations but mixes it with very real and candid conversations about life and becoming adults. Reiner would go on to adapt another King novel but this one shows he should definitely make another.
#6 – CARRIE
The first Stephen King novel published was also the first turned into a film. Despite a lackluster sequel and remake, Brian De Palma’s original CARRIE remains a classic. Owing more to Hitchcock than any true horror inspiration, CARRIE is an examination of what it means to be a teenage girl growing up with the threats of abuse, bullying, and psychological trauma. CARRIE remains to this day a great movie and one hell of a scary one at that.
If it was my list I would have included The Dead Zone but it sure would be hard to decide which of these three to remove.
