And finally, though The Dark Tower disappointed just about everyone back in August, the last month has been a pretty good time to be a Stephen King fan.

After It blew everyone away a few weeks ago, King fans now have another hugely successful adaptation to savour, one that honestly might be one of his best to date, certainly in terms of his strict horror works.

Fingers crossed that Netflix actually promotes the film rather than just quietly dumps it and never speaks of it again, because it absolutely deserve to be seen by as many people as possible.

Needless to say, with King's novella 1922 due to hit Netflix next month, it looks like the streaming platform could be a safe haven for the author's more low-key works.
