I met Mick the same day I met my husband, on the set of Brutal Massacre: A Comedy. In fact, it was my husband who provided the photos, which were taken by our friend Mike Manikowski. Mick also wrote me a note, which has been lost. It said: Mind the gristle, Krystle! Drinks after shoot? Unfortunately, I could not go for drinks... I was only 20.

This is the Stephen King interview for Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments in its entirety. Even Bravo does not have this footage, which includes behind the scenes, outtakes, and candid conversation with King. My husband and his business partner filmed this interview and met King. (Unfortunately, I didn't even know my husband then... so I did not have the pleasure of tagging along.)

This is the animatronic anteater head used during the filming of Kingdom Hospital. The final screen version used CG overlay, but this stood in on set with the actors to allow for better blocking and interaction. The inner mechanics are intact and the latex and "fur" are in perfect condition. My husband purchased the antubis props as a gift for me. (The other test antubis head is in storage.) Expect more photos of Antubis and his ugly twin later...

[Tito_Villa]

Nice stuff, what's your favourite book?

[Ben Staad]

Great collection and love the ant-eater...very creepy.

[stkmw02]

My favorite book in general is The Dream Eater by Christian Garrison... my favorite book in my King collection is the first Stephen King book I ever purchased, Insomnia.

[The Library Policeman]

Very nice collection! I have the same style bookcase as you only mine is a different colour :)

[Brice]

Very nice collection!

What's the story on the Antubis? I've never seen that before.

Edit: Nevermind I found it. Pretty cool!

[stkmw02]

First King related Birthday/Graduation gift? Bag of Bones Phonograph Press Kit!

[Brice]

That's about the nicest promo item there is. :) Congratulations!

[Shannon]

Good job! P.S. Where are the pics? Can everyone see them but me?

[biomieg]

There's a link (not underlined) in the first post...

[Shannon]

How the hell did you guys know that was a link!? Wow, lol

Aggghhhh ant-eater! lol that's creepy! Awesomely creepy! lol You have McFarlane Toys! I had a small collection (in boxes) but decided against collecting anymore. They take up too much space. I am selling mine if you're interested. Let me know.

I'd love to see that Bravo footage. Behind The Scenes stuff is the best!

Nice Bible.

Wait, there's two Eyes Of The Dragons dustjacket states!? What's going on here?

Good stuff!

[skyofcrack]

Wait, there's two Eyes Of The Dragons dustjacket states!? What's going on here?!

Sun-faded.

[Shannon]

You sure? That looks mucho intentional to me.

[skyofcrack]

You sure? That looks mucho intentional to me.

Now, I'm not so sure...

"When EYES came out I located a copy from all three publishing houses that did the 1st edition run. I found these at bookstores. The strange thing is, all 3 jackets are slightly different. The Haddon Craftsmen, Scranton Pennsylvania jacket has the red letters with just a hint of white around them on both cover and spine and the "scales" on the jacket are very shallow. The Arcata Graphics, Keene, New Hampshire jacket has deeper "scales" and white background on the cover letters but no white on the spine. The Arcata Graphics, Hawkins County, Tennessee has deep scales, with the white outlines on both the cover and the spine. These books have never been exposed to sunlight. Your different coloring on the spine may be an indication that they changed dies or some other factor when printing these jackets or, more likely, they were printed in three or possibly four different printing facilities. Whichever is the case, this is a quite fascinating discovery."

[Shannon]

Hmm ... where was the quote from?

[skyofcrack]

Hmm ... where was the quote from?

I don't know where it originated. I copied it from here.

http://www.stephenking.com/forums/showthread.php/15065-Eyes-of-the-Dragon-dust-jacket-variant?p=334225#post334225

[stkmw02]

underlined... :redface:

We're going to get a better picture of Antubis soon. We also contacted the FX company today to get some more information about him and his ugly twin. We just now realized he may be the ONLY finished head prop. We already know he was used on set with the cast, which was cool enough for me. lol

My husband is the one with the McFarlane set. He has... a lot. His goal is to someday display each figure with a photo of himself and the actors. He has pretty many, but not enough space to display them. Let me know what you've got available... if it's something he's missing, I might snatch it up as a gift for him!

I think I watched the Bravo footage a dozen times in a row when he first showed it to me. I still get giddy when King has a casual conversation with my husband.

That bible is pretty darn old. I just got it for Christmas from my 85 year old great aunt. It's been in the family for a long time... I'm in the process of restoring it.

I'm trying to figure out that Eyes of the Dragon deal myself... because I'm considering selling one. If it's sun damage, I'm happy to give it up... but it's a potential duplicate cover, I might hold on to it. lol

[Merlin1958]

You really need to post the pics here, IMHO. Use the "Direct Link" from Photobucket and copy to the "insert Image" icon above. Nice stuff!!!


:emot-cthulhu::emot-cthulhu::emot-cthulhu:

[stkmw02]

As you wish. ;)

[Merlin1958]

Very, very nice!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[skyofcrack]

It's nice to see your wonderful collection over here.

About the EotD cover: yours might be a combination of the variant cover and sun-fading. I would hold on to it for now.

I see you have the Dario Argento Collection. Are you a fan of his as well?

[Brice]

Argento is brilliant!

I do NOT think that's sun fading on the EotD at all. I think it's printed that way.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like everything, but the Christine autograph made me laugh, I love it!

[skyofcrack]

Argento is brilliant!

I do NOT think that's sun fading on the EotD at all. I think it's printed that way.

If you look at the descriptions of the three different printings, they either have white outlines around the letters or not but no mention that the actual letters are a different shade/color other than red.

I worked in a book store in 1987 and saw a lot of copies of this book, including ones with sun-faded spines/covers. I'm pretty sure red will fade to this color when exposed to sun over time.

If there were no white outline, I would believe it's a variant. Or, if the letters were red with white outlines.

I'm a huge Argento fan.

[stkmw02]

I'm a fan, but my husband is the one responsible for most of the DVDs and toys around Antubis. ;)

I'm really not sure what to make of that EotD cover... I've had a lot of different opinions from collectors and sellers. I suppose I'll hold on to it for a bit.

[stkmw02]

This is a slightly better image of Antubis... he seems to be smiling!

I'm hoping to get Mick Garris to sign there, next to the "Beware".

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn298/stkmw02/Stephen%20King%20Collection/IMG_3080.jpg
Also in perfect condition! My husband might be better at finding collection deals than I am!!

[Stockerlone]

Nice collection....
Antubis is AMAZING !!!

[Brice]

Very nice! I need one of those myself. It is like the holy grail of promo items. I do have the Dark Score Stories book though.

[Shannon]

Ahem, I think you're forgetting about a certain TMSG? :)

[Brice]

My TMSG died. :cry:

[Randall Flagg]

The EOTD cover is a faded cover. The red is the first color to fade. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

[stkmw02]

Adding a 'Salem's Lot first edition with second state dust jacket to the collection... photos to come (as soon as my camera returns from NYC).

[Tito_Villa]

Snap me too!

[stkmw02]

lol Nice! I'm pretty excited about it. Even though the dust jacket is a little rough, this is a book I've had a tough time finding in my price range. I think it'll be a good motivator to start finding more deals too. ;)

I should be receiving a few more new books shortly. What's your next purchase??

[Tito_Villa]

Probably a cheese cob, it's all I can afford :-) but I want a US Carrie 1st !

[stkmw02]

I know what you mean! lol I'm hoping to find a copy of Carrie that fits my budget too. Of course, I think I'll knock out some of the less expensive books first.

[skyofcrack]

I was at Books-a-Million today and saw 3 copies of Just After Sunset that were 1st's with no remainder marks but the jackets were kinda beat up so I passed on them. If I see a decent one, do you want me to grab it for you?

[Thelangoleer]

Hey there I have a half price books by me with tons of the common firsts just let me know what you need and I'll look out for you

[stkmw02]

Thanks for the offers! I'll certainly let you know when I'm ready to make some purchases again. For right now, I'm waiting to receive recent orders... then I'll update my "wish list". :lol:

Just arrived and soon to be photographed:
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three
The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands

Both are shrink-wrapped. Any input on whether or not to unwrap them??

[Tito_Villa]

Yes and put brodart covers on the dustjackets, the book will be kept nice and you get to open and enjoy it too!

[jhanic]

Unwrap them!

John

[Shannon]

Shrinkwrap = Devil! I have heard so many stories about shrinkwrap ruining the dustjackets, finding fuck ups and printing errors whe they take off the dustjacket, finding signed limited books without the signed limited pages, lol, the list goes on and on. Unwrap.

[skyofcrack]

I would say keep the shrink wrap on only if you have a spare copy to trade of any book. If it's your only copy, remove and put a plastic cover on immediately and examine the book for imperfections.

[stkmw02]

I'll be unwrapping them tomorrow... My husband still had our camera in NYC, so pictures are still delayed. Thanks for the reassurance that unwrapping is the way to go. I would have felt terrible if I opened them and learned that I committed a collecting crime! :lol:

[Brice]

No book deserves to be left in shrinkwrap. It makes my heart a little sad to see books imprisoned that way. :(

[Bad Penny]

And, I heard somewhere, there exists the possibility of residual moisture that may have been trapped within creating warping issues down the track a ways :smile:

[Brice]

Oh, and shrinkwrap is evil too.

[Garrell]

SK is writing a new novel..."Shrinkwrapped", may be his scariest yet:)

[stkmw02]

Brice, you will be happy to know the books are free... breathing in the good air and enjoying the feel of my fingers on their naked pages.

[Brice]

That almost sounds a little naughty the way you worded it. LOL

But yes, that does make me happy.

Garrell, I don't know if I could bare to read it. *shudders*

[Brice]

It's a joke John...earlier in this thread some of us were joking about a book called shrinkwrapped...Stephen King's scariest book yet because of comments regarding leaving books shrinkwrapped.

What is the story on a black cover on CLYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF?

[biomieg]

Very nice additions!!

[Thelangoleer]

Yeah what is that black cover?!

[stkmw02]

It's actually the same cover. When I used a flash, it made the cover seem much lighter and "faded" than it really is, so I took another without the flash... which makes it seem much darker. I'll need to get my husband to use his skills to capture the true perfect color of that cover.

[Stockerlone]

NICE NEW BOOKS !!!

[becca69]

You got some great books there!

[Tito_Villa]

I especially like the Salem's Lot 1st!!!

[Thelangoleer]

Yeah that salem's is awesome, looks familiar wink wink

[stkmw02]

I obtained that from a highly respectable collector!

I also just obtained my new Green Mile with slipcase! Photos to come.

[stkmw02]

Adding to the collection, but with some questions:
The Running Man first edition first printing Signet paperback (Should the price be $2.50 or $2.95?)
The Long Walk first edition first printing Signet paperback (Should the price be $1.95 or $2.25?)
Secret Window BOMC (should the price appear on the dust jacket?)
The Green Mile Part 1: The Two Dead Girls first edition first printing Signet paperback
Dolores Claiborne first edition first printing
Storm of the Century hardcover BOMC
Pet Sematary first edition first printing second cover state (although the Y38 is damaged from glue, it can still be read)

Plus Castle Rock newsletters (first four staple bound stamped "original", complete - I think - up to Vol. 4 No. 12)
So that means I am definitely on the search for the remaining issues!
Anyone have a suggestion for the best way to preserve these papers? I know of a few different ways, but want to be sure I pick the most cost effective and successful method.

[jhanic]

Long Walk: price should be $1.95. http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Stephen+King+First+Editions:Lon g+Walk+The+-+Trade+PB

Running Man: price should be $2.50. http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Stephen+King+First+Editions:Run ning+Man+The+-+Trade+PB

There's no price anywhere on Secret Windows.

John

[stkmw02]

Thanks, John! The resources I check to confirm first editions sometimes have conflicting information. Of course, I definitely trusted the seller of this stuff! ;) I just wanted to see if there was any reason for the conflict (like price errors on certain states, etc.)

I am one happy collector! Thanks to all the sellers from this forum who helped me celebrate my birthday and graduation in King style!

[Shannon]

I wouldn't trust the seller, I hear he's one mean SOB. :)

[stkmw02]

Now, I didn't say the seller was nice or polite or pleasant, just trustworthy. :lol:

Yes, this person could be an extremely trustworthy mean SOB. :lol:

Starring ... N/A. Lol

[Brice]

I'm sorry....does that say Evil Bong? :rofl:

[stkmw02]

I'm sorry....does that say Evil Bong? :rofl:

We have the actual Evil Bong in our home. Sean was a producer on that one, but didn't have any hand in the actual creation of it. Same with Thankskilling 2, Gingerdeadman, and a few others.

[Brice]

Pretty awesome! I would love to do a horror movie. I have everything it takes ....except talent.

[stkmw02]

No talent required. :lol:

Hells Half Acre was Sean's first solo movie, no budget. A few major companies offered to purchase the rights, but he won't sell. Someone at Bravo saw it and asked Sean to film some of the interviews for their 100 Scariest Movie Moments - that's how he worked with George Romero and interviewed Stephen King. From there... well, we met on the set of Brutal Massacre: A Comedy and then worked together on the movie Bereavement. He's currently assisting with the TV show School Spirits for NBC, filming his own documentary on arcade games, and doing boring corporate work for Martin Guitar factory and MLB's Majestic Athletic.
You can see his work at:
www.kstudios.com

[Brice]

Very cool! That would be so fun! I used to "work" at a year round haunted house doing makeup/minor prosthetics, etc... The etc... =mostly running through the back corridors scaring the shit out of guys who could curl me with one hand. LOL

The huge muscle bound guys are usually more scared than the girls and kids.

[stkmw02]

Just picked up a copy of TWTTK first edition first printing US addition to add to my UK addition (that has my FACE on it! lol)

Wasn't it so cool how they did that mosaic on the back of the UK edition! I'm there too somewhere.

[stkmw02]

Super cool! The only reason I'm on there is because my husband submitted a photo for me. I was so busy at the time, I didn't even know about it!

[Jimimck]

Now that's true love.

Those are cool! Are they from specific movies?

[stkmw02]

The items themselves aren't official movie props, that I know of. But the machete is signed by all the Jasons and I think a few other Friday the 13th cast members. The chainsaw is Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame and Bruce Campbell, the other chainsaw wielding awesomeness.

Very cool ephemera you have there - quite impressive !!! :thumbsup:

[Jimimck]

I love that Friday score!

I'm gonna do a marathon this Friday night of my favourite films from the series (4,6,7 and vs Freddy) - but don't get me wrong, I love all of thm, including numbers 9 & 10 lol

*covets your chainsaw and machete*

[Shannon]

Excellent excellent items. :)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

And I thought my shelves were crowded! Very interesting and unique items, and I also love the chainsaw. Reminds me of SCARFACE (Al Pacino-DePalma version) for some reason I can't quite put my rolled up hundred on.

[Merlin1958]

Very, very Cool!!!!!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[stkmw02]

The rest of that room (which is my husband's office/our cat's "bedroom") isn't quite as crowded. All the movie figures make it look a little cramped. lol

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Just think, when the room is deserted all the figures come to life and scamper around. I know this is true because I saw it in some Pixar movies.

[stkmw02]

I hope they do... and scare the shit out of our cat! (If you knew the cat, you'd feel the same.)

I've never seen those before Neat!

How many King-themed ones are there?

John

[Jimimck]

Ha very cool! I like.

[Brice]

I've never seen those before either and I like that one a lot. Can we see the rest, please?

[Bad Penny]

Excellent, I love this sort of stuff !!!! :nana:

[stkmw02]

I'll get the rest scanned soon so you can see them!

[Brice]

Yay! :dance:

[Shannon]

Very nice! Good find!

[needfulthings]

BRING EM ON.

[Brice]

*taps foot*

[stkmw02]

lol Sorry! My husband is away on business and he handles all the scanning of things, since I once broke the scanner and am now paranoid. I'd take photos of the cards, but since the camera is broken I can't.

[Brice]

It's okay! Just let him know that he's gonna' have to stop letting his business get in the way of our entertainment.

[stkmw02]

My husband added this item to our collection.... a very awesome Fluffy.

[Ben Staad]

Very nice addition. Was this a custom piece made for your hubby?

[harrison ryan]

That's really cool! The chains on the base are a nice touch. **looking around for my Super Sculpey**

[jhanic]

Nice!

[Dan]

Nice Fluffy! What is it made of?

Very cool!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[dnemec]

Fluffy is awesome!

[Dolso]

Cool Fluffy but I also like the Cereal Killers Cards -- did I miss you posting more of them?

[stkmw02]

Fluffy was made by Homemade Horror, check it out on Facebook!

And no, I never got around to posting more of the Cereal Killers Cards. I'll have to remind my husband that he promised to scan more! Definitely check out the artist Joe Simco. He's done artwork for the movie we're working on too. Awesome work.

That is indeed an awsome Fluffy, Krystle - as Shannon would say .... I WANT ONE !!!!!! :nana:

[Ben Eads]

Awesome collection!

[stkmw02]

Feels like forever since I posted in this thread...

I just moved my collection (and the other contents of my home) into a new house. Instead of being crammed into one glass doored bookshelf in my living room and stuffed into a closed cabinet that rarely saw the light of day, my books and other King items will now have a home in an official "Library" in my attic. (Having my own home library makes my heart so happy, I almost cry every time I walk in there!)

The room is still in shambles as I unpack, touch up paint, and have woodwork finished... but I'll share photos as soon as I am able.

Now comes the challenge of arranging the items for display and cataloging them somehow digitally. I just added the Home Library app and paid for the full version to record all of my books, DVDs, etc. Does anyone else use this? Does anyone else have a better program?

[jhanic]

Congratulations on your new house and library.

I use an Excel spreadsheet for my King items, and even then I miss some things. If I remember correctly, that Home Library app has a size limit that's less than the size of my collection, so I've never used it.

John

[jsmcmullen92]

I just use good reads... I have also used Library Thing.
The nice thing about Good Reads is there is a scanner so you can just scan each UPC and it will add it. I have multiple shelves such as 1/1, collectible, and reading copy that I scan them to. Makes things easier than typing everything out. I tried doing that but then I forget to update it. I even added a shelf of want so that I can add books to that shelf so others know what to get me come holidays :).

I do know that Library Thing is coming out with an App but I haven't checked in awhile the progress of it.

[zelig]

Congratulations. It's a good feeling to get all your books put up on shelving.

Whenever I hear someone has SK books in their attic it makes me cringe. I hope that room is climate controlled so no excess heat or humidity gets to your books.

Yeah and DARKNESS:) Can't wait to see pics when it is done!

[Merlin1958]

Good deal, Krystle!!! I'm very happy for you. It's been a long time coming!!!!

[Dan]

I use both an excel spreadsheet and Bookbuddy app on IOS. I've tried different apps, this one works pretty good.
