288: Talking King's Place in '90s and Aughts Horror Movies with Clark Collis
Clark Collis returns to The Kingcast to discuss a very specific moment in horror cinema: the '90s through the early 2010s. 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.

287: Pet Sematary (2019) with Jeremy Ray Taylor
You know him as young Ben Hanscom in the recent It films and now Jeremy Ray Taylor is all growed up. He's a married man and works with cars, but he still acts and has a new project out in theaters, an action comedy by the name of London Calling where he co-stars with Josh Duhamel as a nerdy kid forced to tag along with a lousy hitman by his mobster father in order to toughen him up some.
We talk about that movie as well as his experiences working on It: Chapters 1 and 2, before we dive into his chosen topic: 2019's Pet Sematary remake. Why this one? Turns out, Jeremy is a bit of a horror scaredy cat and this is the movie that helped get him into the genre.
