    Default Physical Descriptions

    Is there a thread that catalogs the descriptions of all of King's characters? I can't remember what they all look like and most the time King only gives a description once in the book. What they wear in the books would be cool as well.

    There is no such thread. I propose this be it both for DT and non dt books.

    That's what I was thinking, a complete list of descriptions of as many characters that can be gathered. What is the best way to do this? Just posting in a thread might get messy. The books are all already listed, would adding the characters to them be best?

    A good one for starters might be the "cards" from UTD? I suppose you could also mix in artist interpetation's. Just a thought. I could probably help a bit (I think!!) LOL

    Very cool, Brice!!! besides the cards, we have Ned's Illo's from Wastelands and a host of others I am sure. I'm not really great at finding all these pics on the WWW but, I got you started with "The lawnmower man". There is probably a few you can borrow from the case editions just let me know, I have most of the pics on file if you like.

    What are my orders Col. Brice?

    Here's a start, not great and a lot of the info is missing, but that's my point. When I try imagining what they look like, I'd like some definitive guidance on what to imagine them as. Short, tall, fat, skinny, scars, complexion, limp when they walk...

    I did not like the blue dude in the 79 movie of Salem's Lot. In that movie they down played the vampire in favor of Straker, and I didn't like that. I thought that really Donald Southerland would have been a great Barlow, and James Mason was a great Straker. Cromwell was a good Callahan.
