I strive for that when I can, King is always someone I’m calling on for tone, he’s such a master of tone”. His stories, apart from a few of them, aren’t just totally nihilistic, they’ve got that humanity and that humour and they feel lived in and authentic and kind of relatable in a way that I think all the best horror does. Savage is a big King fan and appreciates the heart of the horror maestro’s work.“I used to read a lot of his stuff when I was growing up,” he told Far Out Magazine (opens in new tab) last year.
This is actually the first full movie adaptation of King’s short - you’ll find it in his Night Shift collection - but is all about a man who has lost his children to something that hides in their bedrooms… When it comes to monsters that lurk in the dark, he speaks fluent frights and going by the trailer above, his take on Stephen King’s The Boogeyman will hold plenty of terror. Director of Zoom-based horror Host, Rob Savage, understands scares on an innate level.
