Revisiting Nightmares & Dreamscapes: A Hidden Gem

 

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to take a moment to revisit my previous post about the amazing TV miniseries Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. I received a lot of great feedback from you all, and I'm excited to share a little more about it, along with a special find!

In my last post, I discussed one of my favorite episodes, “Umney’s Last Case,” featuring the incredible William H. Macy. If you haven’t checked out the post yet, I highly recommend it—it’s a deep dive into the themes, storyline, and fantastic performances that make this series a must-watch.

I’m really happy to share that I found a link to the episode on YouTube! You can watch “Umney’s Last Case” right here. I thought it was taken down since I was only finding half of the show. Trust me, it’s worth your time, especially if you're a fan of noir and supernatural elements blended together.

Additionally, I briefly mentioned another favorite episode of mine, “You Know They Got a Hell of a Band.” This episode is another standout from the series, blending suspense, mystery, and Stephen King’s unique storytelling style. If you have the chance, definitely give it a watch as well.

Well, while there are favorites, there are also some dumb ones. Yes, that damn “Crouch End.” I hate it. I didn’t really understand it, and I found it to be really stupid. But I won’t ruin it by telling you what happened—nope 🙂‍↔️. However, when that part comes on, I just use it as background noise 😂.

On the flip side, “Battleground” was really good, and I wholeheartedly believe in karma for bad people. Anyways, enjoy watching because it’s 5-plus hours of King lmao 🤣.

As a Stephen King super fan, revisiting these episodes has been a joy. The series brilliantly brings King’s short stories to life, capturing the essence of his writing and the eerie, thought-provoking themes he’s known for.

If you end up watching “Umney’s Last Case” or any other episodes from Nightmares & Dreamscapes, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to leave a comment or reach out on social media.

Title: More Stephen King Miniseries, Shows, and Movies You Should Watch

Hello again!

Since we’re on the topic of Stephen King, I thought I’d share some of my other favorite Stephen King miniseries, shows, and movies. Ok, where to begin because I just love watching Stephen King movies and reading his books. Ok, so there are so many, but I’m gonna try to narrow it down lol 😝.

First one is the scarily accurate movie titled The Stand. We were actually living the movie for three years straight thanks to the horribleness of the dreaded coronavirus. Ugh 😩. Let’s hope that never ever happens again. Once you watch that movie, then you’ll know exactly what I mean. Scary accurate. I think that book became widely popular because of the pandemic.

The second one is Rose Red. Ugh 😩 I love that movie, and of course, as usual, it is a long movie only because like Nightmares & Dreamscapes, it was a limited series. A must-watch.

Then the third one, probably should’ve put this one first, is my favorite favorite favorite movie—well, again, limited TV miniseries—it is Kingdom Hospital. 🏥 I mean, I could go on and on about this show. It’s freaking awesome. I had it saved on my computer, but of course, my computer had to be reset to factory settings thanks to viruses. 🦠🤬 But it’s a good thing I always back up everything to my Google account or my Weston External Hard Drive. Just go check it out, you won’t be disappointed. But every time I watch it, I can’t believe how lax the laws were when it came to children and the living/working conditions. I will say no more—go watch. Although that one is very hard to find on YouTube and I would upload it if I could, but I’m not.

Christine is another favorite of mine. Just go check it out. I won’t say The Shining because everyone and their mama knows that movie, which is fantastic, but the ones I mentioned don’t get talked about as much and they’re fantastic.

How can I forget the awesomeness of the movie Carrie? It's very popular and is my absolute favorite movie of all high school-themed movies. I’m so glad Stephen King’s wife convinced him to keep it.

Thanks for reading, and happy viewing!
