Stephen King Month: Nightmares and Dreamscapes

So, I was looking online to find a video of Bag of Bones so that I could review that, but I couldn't find any links that worked and instead decided to talk about Nightmares and Dreamscapes, an anthology TV show, based on eight of Stephen King's short stories, from 2006

The stories that are shown in the show are Battleground, where a hit man must battle toy soldiers after killing the head of a toy company; Crouch End, where a couple honeymooning in London stumlbe upon a weak point between dimensions; Umney's Last Case, where an author replaces the main character of his own book series; The End Of The Whole Mess, where a successful film maker recounts his brother's attempt to solve world violence and the horrible cost it has; The Road Virus Heads North, where a horror writer is stalked by a painting he buys; The Fifth Quarter, where a recently released convict goes on the hunt for his friend's share of treasure; Autopsy Room Four, where a man has been bitten by a poisonous snake and is alive, but unable to move as they are about to start his autopsy; and You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band, where a couple find themselves in a town populated by dead rock and roll stars.

The series was a lot of fun, though a couple of the episodes are a bit meh. It's the kind of show I would have liked to have seen go on for longer, and be like Stephen King's own version of The Twilight Zone. My personal favourite episodes are Battleground, Umney's Last Case and Autopsy Room Four.

As adaptations, I must say I've not read all these stories, but based on the adaptations of Battleground, Autopsy Room Four and The Road Virus Heads North they were done well and kept all that they needed to, though a couple of things were added here and there to make them a bit more TVish

In short, I'd recommend this series and wish it had got at least a second series
