Summary
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.
