Stephen King's "The Mist" was first published in 1980 as part of his "Dark Forces" anthology and later added to 1985's "Skeleton Crew," a dynamic collection that featured 18 short stories, two poems, and two novellas. The real source of terror in "The Mist" is the tentacled Lovecraftian beasts that roam around the town of Bridgton, along with the increasingly violent divide amongst the local townsfolk (who abandon reason and give into panic). This heightened sense of paranoia that tears the small community apart is the focal point of Frank Darabont's "The Mist" film adaptation, where the creatures appear less monstrous than those gripped by religious frenzy or collective angst that manifests in unspeakably ugly ways.
In both King's novella and Darabont's movie, these events are triggered by a storm that is only a precursor to the chaotic turmoil that is about to unfold in the otherwise peaceful American town.

LucasFilm has recently opened up a new studio dedicated to the creation and launch of games based on George Lucas’ iconic cinematic franchises. While LucasFilm Games might not quite measure up to the LucasArts of old just yet, it’s clear that the Star Wars series is going to be a priority for the studio, as it was for its predecessor. This expansion of the brand has already led to original titles like Squadrons and Jedi: Survivor getting launched to phenomenal success.
However, LucasFilm is also dipping into the archives and celebrating older titles with remastered editions of the likes of Battlefront and Jedi Dark Forces. The latter is an especially important title in Star Wars history that spawned many sequels. However, the Dark Forces series also highlights a major culture of cancelation at LucasFilm, with a mysterious, suspected final Dark Forces entry seemingly getting canned before it could ever...

Many Stephen King works have been adapted countless times for the big and small screens, with varying degrees of success. One adaptation that stands out, however, is the 2007 film version of his novella, The Mist. While the movie received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike, King himself loved it, particularly because of its “anti-Hollywood” ending.
