Welcome back to my ongoing review of everything related to Four Past Midnight!  This review examines 2004's Johnny Depp starring adaptation of Secret Window, Secret Garden, known to moviegoers simply as Secret Window.  This movie came out during the peak Johnny Depp reinvention years, just after he resurrected his career with Captain Jack Sparrow.  So what does peak Depp in a King adaptation look like?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

The next six episodes of the Stephen Kingcast will examine Stephen King's 1990's novella collection, Four Past Midnight.

The Sparrows Are Flying Again this week in the Stephen Kingcast! In this week's review, I look at 1989's fictional metatextual story of alter-egos and twins.  With The Dark Half, King summons the ghost of Richard Bachman whose alter ego, George Stark, cuts a bloody swath through the Northeast on his way to reclaim his life from author Thad Beaumont.   Fans of Needful Things will know that this also marks the first appearance of Castle Rock Sheriff Alan Pangborn.  My biggest question is: why don't more people talk about this novel?  Find out in this week's episode!
