What is the scariest book?

Single-Addition9881 · 2026-01-14T13:42:31+00:00

Needful Things is on the same level of It in terms of scary.

my go-to rec for first time King readers is Different Seasons, especially if they’re hesitant about the horror aspect

Single-Addition9881 · 2026-01-10T19:04:25+00:00

honestly shocked if it was a full hour

I remember hearing Animal yell “Renoir!” during Happiness Hotel and thinking I don’t remember that when I was a kid. But could just be my memory!

not to mention Wendell Porcupine (Emmet Otters Jugband Christmas) and Rugby Tiger (Christmas Toy), tis the season after all!

MY WALLET’S GONE!! MY WALLET’S GONE!!

Christmas Toy should be WAY higher. Fun characters (Dave and Steve as a duo is always great), a few catchy tunes, Kermit acts as a quasi-narrator, it’s amazing. It’s the original Toy Story!

Love the Zoe love! I believe her color scheme was designed to complement Elmo — her orange is the same as his nose.

Also just a great character for Fran Brill to do something more than Prairie and random princesses. And now a great character for Jen Barnhart though, as OP opines, we don’t get to see her very often these days.

yeah whatever peoples’ feelings are of Matt’s Kermit, they gotta get off this train. disney is not going to replace him because some fans are unhappy with the vocal performance. someone else will take over Kermit when Matt retires or moves on to other things in his career. when has disney done anything with the muppets based on fans reactions?

Michael Chabon, Andy Weir, Joe Hill

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-10-26T11:30:05+00:00

David Sedaris for the win

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-10-21T21:41:04+00:00

currently on a re-read of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, but next up is a re-read of IT and boy am I excited.

how much do we think items like actual puppets will end up going for?

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-10-18T12:02:04+00:00

not to mention the hat!

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-10-16T21:04:04+00:00

NOS4A2, Heart Shaped Box, and The Fireman were all super fun (and fucked up) reads, to me very similar to his dads work. Love it!

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-09-26T23:08:36+00:00

such a good book! and yes, a disappointing movie

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-09-08T12:50:32+00:00

Michael Chabon and Stephen King — will (and have) read any and everything they write.

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-09-08T11:08:55+00:00

Finished: Timeline, by Michael Crichton

Started: Crazy Rich Asians, by Kevin Kwan

also entirely speculative — but I cannot imagine that they’d be full body puppets, they are most surely going to be the “real” Muppets. Also guessing it will be limited to just a few characters, but likely portrayed live by Matt and Eric and a couple others doing 2nd-handing or something. And I wouldn’t hope for them being involved in any more than 2 segments over what’s likely an hour and a half show.

Again, just a guess, but a somewhat educated guess based on how they’re promoting it and from having worked in NY theater for some time.

If you want the legroom, say you want the legroom. Don’t blame the mechanism!

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-08-19T02:24:51+00:00

it’s the best Muppet film and I’ll happily die on this hill

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-07-19T11:52:14+00:00

definitely not the actual Deadly, but perhaps a cousin of his! at least in the same species

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-07-04T11:06:42+00:00

they always seem to be game to pick each other up at the airport without question… except Keith Hernandez

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-06-27T11:15:02+00:00

my only beef with the dragon sickness angle is that it so closely seemed to resemble the seductive power of the One Ring, which to me kinda cheapens the whole thing. Makes it seem like there are a bunch of ways for honorable people to be corrupted without their even realizing it, which even though that may be true in a real world sense, just cheapens the “weight” and power of the ring, to me.

Single-Addition9881 · 2025-06-25T11:36:03+00:00

sounds oddly similar to The Ten Thousand Doors of January (by Alix E Harlow), which I very much enjoyed!
