King always gets a down vote, as a horrible person. Between his willful drug use, twenty years driving drunk, and otherwise hurting people
reddocs
I'm in love with him.
BigKahuna128
He’s got some dark shit rolling around in his noggin

I told my father something similar years ago when I was working at the Mütter Museum. It was 100% true. http://muttermuseum.org

Like how many of his stories have turn into films, so prolific...
TattieBoJangles
I'm pretty sure he said this while going through a raging coke habit... Not sure if that makes it better or worse
WastelandPuppy
Never been a big fan of King. This reinforces my disappointment.
Columcille
He steals stories from the Simpsons movie and old German TV shows.
TheMysticalWarrior
He's not joking. :(
Sauroctonus
Poor Timmy.
Tomhasaterriblevpn
His books are amazing
thatauzzieguy
Nice cosplay Jemaine Clement. You can't fool me.
sjbrooksy7447
Normally the monsters in his stories are just people with some supernatural stuff thrown in to entertain.
Affray
The scariest monsters are the ones that look and talk just like us.
InoffensivePablum
Because it’s so much fun, Jan.

Thank you Quentin

Not original, as usual for King. I read this in the 60s, I think said by Robert Bloch. No, not gonna try to find source.
BigFuzzyOne
It was Bloch. For those who don't remember, Bloch was the author of "Psycho".
DichotomusPrime
Never read a King book in my life before On Writing, but that book is one of the best I've ever read.
IAimtoMisbehaveNotLikeThatOtherSpacePirate
THE STAND IS AMAZING. Also, he wrote The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption if you're not into horror!
HerrFraeulein
Try "Hearts in Atlantis" if you want to try non-horror Stephen King
DichotomusPrime
After hearing him talk about the thought process behind some of his stuff, there's some I def wanna read. The Stand in particular.
XAMANDER
Poe and Lovecraft are better.
emiliemk
It’s not a contest.
XAMANDER
No, it's an opinion. And a popular one among horror story fans.
emiliemk
Well you might be interested in what Lovecraft said about Baron Dunsany, who wrote the wonderful story My Conversations with Dean Spanley. 1
emiliemk
Which was made into the movie Dean Spanley. A lovely story about reincarnation. Not horror. A prolific writer. Lovecraft so admired him 2
emiliemk
That he believed him to be the father of science fantasy. That’s not quite horror. I don’t see any of them as writers of horror stories 3/
ShamelessSeamus
I think James Gunn wrote something like this on Twitter and was fired. RIP Steven King.
iLickGrandmas
He wrote too many fucking little boy jokes,is that what you’re trying to defend ?
HerrFraeulein
Nobody can fire Stephen King, he works only for himself
CameForNatalieDormer
Technically he could be dropped by publishers, but... which publisher wouldn't immediately snatch up King, even mid-media suicide?
braaaiiiiinnnnsss
I mean, if Stephen King talked about periodically taking that heart out of the jar and fucking it, maybe.
Mimsey
How do you think he manages to churn out so many decent books? Sacrifices to Slaanesh.
n1c3cleantoilet
I personally think his tweets were hilariously...
Buckbeak1486
"Hilariously..."? Hilariously what?
n1c3cleantoilet
Hilariously hilarious
UncleMontie
RIP? Lol err no
MattHolmberg
He’s referring to him being sacked like Gunn in light of this quote. It’s heady stuff, but try to keep up.
UncleMontie
Still failing to see the connection here, but fuck me right ?!
MattHolmberg
It’s an overstatement, aiming at humor. The idea being king is now dead cuz this quote. Like, he was killed due to political incorrectness
ichangedmyusernamebecauseiregretmyoriginaldecision
He wrote a hell of a lot more than just "something like this" my dude
somnif
Yep, he wrote "Tromeo and Juliet"
GlassSword
Yeah, jokes
UmamiMama
Umm, jokes are funny. Being a creepy pedo-like, not so funny.
realistichorsegonadbehavior
Very nasty jokes
ThySausagePrince
Instead of dead baby jokes, he wrote child molestation jokes. Neither very funny.
myusernameisnotcreative
Can I have your number so you can tell me what jokes I am allowed to laugh at? I really need someone to police my thought and jokes.
ThySausagePrince
Also, I just watched the TNG episode with Data trying to understand what's funny. Hello, Data.
cool299
It's not that some jokes are funny and others are not, it's that certain jokes will be better received by the public than others. There are
cool299
consequences to your reputation in posting certain things online if you don't know the difference.
ThySausagePrince
You're welcome to laugh at any jokes that you find funny, just that most in this column tend not to be.
pizzapartyhard
Yeah, i like his movies and GotG3 is probably gonna suck w/o him, but what the ever living fuck man?!
chrismofer
game of thrones: generation 3
ichangedmyusernamebecauseiregretmyoriginaldecision
Yeah. Its too bad, I was really looking forward to that movie.

fistermatic5000
Jesus Christ. None of that is funny. And NY sense of humor is about as twisted as it can get.
Midgarmerc
What even is a joke amirite?
steviedrawsdinos
Some of those are only as bad as they are in conjunction with the others. They're still bad, but worse with the other ones..
TheShittyReposterStrikesAgain
Some of those are pretty funny. Inappropriate, but funny.
oblimo
I like the joke about the Giving Tree. Yet even I’d know not to publicly post something like that when working for freaking Disney.
SolarDildo
He wasn't working for Disney yet though...
snowboundmage
Look at the dates
pizzapartyhard

TashaYar
If he regretted those tweets, he should have (would have) deleted them.
Volimar
Stephen King literally had a child gangbang in IT. Is depicting child sex worse than joking about it?
snuffcarcass
Stephen King doesn't work for Disney. Disney can't defend toddler rape jokes. Clashes with their family-friendly culture.
Mimsey
King was doing it to depict innocence lost. Countless authors over the ages have done that.
2774
Steve did it when he was trying to balance cocaine with liquor - uppers and downers.
He did it poorly most times.
ichangedmyusernamebecauseiregretmyoriginaldecision
depicting it isnt making light of it.
Volimar
That scene from the book is not in the films because it wouldn't acceptable. King acknowledges it was fucked up and he's grown. So has Gunn.
DarkZalgo
Apparently so. Or maybe because it's 32 years old and the tweets are only 7-10 years old? Who knows.
Volimar
King admits he was high AF back when he wrote that. Look at Disney's own past films. I think the point is that growth should be encouraged.
DarkZalgo
It should be, but Disney is all about avoiding any possible publicity mishaps. They'd rather lose a great director and shit out a bad movie
