"The Mist" by Stephen King

I have been a Stephen King fan since Carrie scared the daylights out of me. High school wasn't all that kind to me and my mother was, in my opinion, a bit rigid. You can imagine how much I, for just a moment, really wanted those powers.

Despite that, I'd have to say that, out of all of the movies and series I've seen, "The Langoliers" is my favorite Stephen King story. During an ordinary cross-country flight from LA to Boston, several passengers wake to find that virtually all of their fellow passengers have disappeared. One of the people still on board is a pilot, who takes control of the plane. As time passes, they are unable to reach anyone or any city over which they fly, including military bases.

After diverting the flight to Bangor, Maine which has less traffic than Boston, the passengers realize that not only did their fellow passengers disappear - so did everyone everywhere else. The Bangor airport is a ghost town. But stranger yet, none of the ordinary items in the snack bar are real. There is no carbonation in the soda or beer, the sandwiches have no flavor, and the matches won't light. As the situation becomes more and more bizarre, one of the passengers slowly descends into madness - convinced that every approaching sound is the Langoliers, coming to kill him.

There is simply no way to sit back and calmly watch the creatures coming at the plane as it sits stranded on the tarmac. Every fiber of your being is wrapped up in the fate of the awakened passengers and one very frightened madman. An ordinary flight with extraordinary outcomes.

Today, I was watching the movie trailers for The Mist. Once again, a group of diverse people are brought together by an ordinary situation. Except this situation was imagined by Stephen King, so it quickly becomes unnatural, extraordinary, and terrifying.

Be sure to check out the trailers on the movie website. Then, get ready for another unforgettable and intensely unnerving experience - The Mist by Stephen King.
