On top of every other reason nobody wants to be an author anymore, it must be dispiriting to be a horror writer and see 50-year-old books being adapted for the umpteenth time.

Sorry, I'm still pissed they re-did The Stand...

There's too much story for a movie. It really needs a full TV Show like Last Of Us. *

This is what puzzles me about the streaming revolution. It's true of basically everything.

It must be that production costs, uncertainty of reception, insurance, etc. push people to produce one-off content.

Maybe the film remake of the Stand will be better*

Loved the book. The 90s miniseries was fine, but I haven’t had a chance to watch the newer one.(nm)

I'd think it's a golden age to be a horror writer especially with all the content being pumped.

Perhaps a valid comment, although Bezos no longer runs Amazon*

Content doesn't need to be good, it just needs to be one more tile on a screen that
