“The monkey that likes killing our family is back.”

Anyone familiar with Stephen King’s massive body of work knows that no character is safe and anyone can die. In fact, the Master of Horror specializes in deaths that run the gamut from subtle and poignant to outlandish and cruel. Though Constant Readers are often devastated by the legendary author’s tendency for killing their darlings, we know there’s always a method to the madness. And sometimes it’s in reading about these horrific fatalities that we find the courage to enjoy the unpredictability of our own fragile lives.

Osgood Perkins takes this nihilistic sentiment and turns it up to 11 in his blood-soaked horror comedy The Monkey. Following twin brothers plagued by a maniacal toy, Perkins dares to laugh in the face of death while celebrating moments of beauty between cradle and grave. Delightful cameos and grisly decapitations abound...

One year after ABC’s juggernaut adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, the network hoped to reap similar success from a lesser-known King property: The Langoliers. In May of 1995, horror titan Tom Holland unleashed his take on the sci-fi oddity across two nights. The television event was a ratings success, but critics savaged it as “dull” with “ludicrous” special effects. (It’s hard to imagine anyone being scared by CGI meatballs with teeth.)

Enter The Timekeepers of Eternity, an experimental reworking of the miniseries from filmmaker Aristotelis Maragkos that chops the three-hour series down to 60 minutes while centering the story around its most compelling character, Bronson Pinchot’s Craig Toomey. More importantly, Maragkos animates the movie into a “paper nightmare” (his words), with the picture ripping, crunching, and wrapping in on itself. It’s as cool as it sounds.

Well, it’s Valentine’s Day on Friday. Get ready for the same ol’ song and dance online: “Blah, blah, blah about being lonely and depressed” We all are. “Blah, blah, blah about it being a fake holiday created by Hallmark” They all are. Hopefully, this year, we can all cut the shit and accept that human beings are simply disgusting, selfish, primal souls looking to get lucky.

Sure enough, The Losers’ Club has no shame about being this self aware, and so they’re back with another smutty episode for Valentine’s Day. Last year, if you recall, they shared their favorite sex scenes in Stephen King‘s work (See? No shame! No shame at all). This time around, however, they’re back to lust over their favorite King crushes from his works.

Stream the episode below and return later this week when the Losers dive into The Timekeepers of Eternity.
