His new book, Screaming and Conjuring, takes us through that era of many hits, twice as many misses, and a genre that was feeling lost as it whiplashed between generic studio remakes, found footage ripoffs, and torture porn. King's genre work was getting some pretty bad adaptations in this era, too, and we discuss that, King's own film criticism work at Entertainment Weekly, and his support for the genre even when it was down and out. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-kingcast-531978/episodes/288-talking-king-s-place-in-90s-and-aughts-horror-movies-with-clark-collis/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kingcast-531978/288-talking-king-s-place-in-90s-and-aughts-horror-movies-with-clark-collis.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
