New Episode-Trucks (1997)

Episode Description from the Publisher

1997 was a prolific year for Stephen King. Not only did he publish Wizard and Glass, but the television world also saw adaptations of The Shining, "Chattery Teeth" (Quicksilver Highway) and the second adaptation of his story "Trucks."  A vast tonal departure from 1986's Maximum Overdrive, Trucks strips down the more over-the-top, cocaine-fueled insanity of the original adaptation, leaving behind, well frankly, a car frame without an engine.  As always, if you have any thoughts on anything related to Stephen King, write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow on Bluesky, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.  Stay organized and up to date with all things Stephen King at stephenkingcast.com For even MORE Stephen Kingcast content, head on over to patreon.com/stephenkingcast
