You might get more life out of this if you posted it as a guest post for the blog.

Whatever you want to do though of course.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I’ll check my email and respond soon.

Absolutely, in fact, I love all the movies (even the TV movie) and definitely the new TV series as well.

They’ve always been able to capture this hard-to-describe, elegant eeriness that I’ve always loved.

Well, to the average Joe they probably would think of it as a mythical creature, but to true believers I think they’re thinking is likely more aligned to it simply being an undiscovered animal or possibly a “new” species of an already discovered animal, or maybe even a hybrid animal.

My worst costume would probably have been in one of my teenage years where I was “too cool” to dress up or put in minimal effort.

My best was probably when with my friends as children, all three of us dressed as Jason and played a trick on this old lady. Instead of all going up to the door at once, we hid and went one by one.

As we did she became more confused each time and (and we might have even continued the rotation, can’t remember that part)… finally she said “Hey, haven’t you already gone through?” squinting her eyes in suspicion.

We laughed and ran away as children do.

You can look it up, but the best example that isn’t sight, smell, touch, sound or taste is spacial coordination. Close your eyes and then touch your nose. Keep in mind this isn’t touch or feel, it’s the ability to find your nose without visual assistance. While blind people certainly rely on sound, this is another sense that becomes one of their primary senses.

Most people could probably close their eyes and navigate their house as that grid + muscle memory is pretty much burned into their psyche.

We still don’t even fully understand our own bodies or minds or what everything is for or has the potential for.

The pineal gland (third eye) is really interesting. Just by thinking about it I can make it tingle. I know for a fact that we can sense when someone is watching even if we cannot see them.

As a child I remember freezing and looking up at a pitch black hallway, convinced that someone was watching me, I stared for a long time not being able to see anything, but having that obvious what I know now to be “fight or flight”, I went to investigate.

When I walked into the darkness something jumped out at me terrifying me so much that my legs basically just buckled and I fainted. Turns out, it was my cousin playing a trick on me. But, as to how I knew he was there, could be one of the known 18 senses (that’s right, there are around 18 scientifically documented senses, not the common 5 that most are aware of).

Keeping in mind that those are only what we’ve discovered so far, we’re far from having all the pieces. So things like ghosts, different dimensions, communication, telepathy, sensory and so on can eventually all be founded in real science, we just aren’t there yet.

What’s the saying or famous quote, “The supernatural are elements that simply haven’t been discovered by science yet.” – or something to that effect.

Here are some interesting anecdotes about the King/Kubrick “feud”:

My guess is that King will guard “Doctor Sleep” with his life from becoming adapted into a film, at least unless he scripts and oversees it.
