Strange but true Stephen King Story

Stephen King – the king of horror, is in NY promoting his new movie, “The Mist,” says that his life is as weird as his books. “I’m in the supermarket one day with my cart, and there’s this woman, about 95,” King recalled at the Regency the other day. “She says, ‘I know who you are. You write those stories, those awful horror stories . . . I don’t like that. I like uplifting movies like that ‘Shawshank Redemption.’ So I said, ‘I wrote that.’ And she said, ‘No, you didn’t.’ And that was it. Talk about surreal. I went to myself, for a minute, ‘It’s not very much like my other stuff. Maybe I didn’t write it!’

Reviews of the movie ‘The Mist’ are quite good from what I have seen.
