Youknow, I've always had this love for King.
And part of the reason I've become a member of this site is to share my zombie themed video with all of you... However, I've also subscribed to this site for one other very specific reason:
That is, I am very curious... Does anyone of you ever wonder why Hollywood has never really acknowledged the works of Richard Laymon? Mr. King must have had over 100 of his novels turned into films by now. But I really can't recall any of Richard Laymon's efforts being produced into film. Do you you think that it was because of Richard Laymon's over-use of ultra violent sexually themed story-lines?
Also... Between the two of them... King VS. Laymon, There must have been a trade off (As far as their fan-base was concerned...) Some horror lovers must have gravitated to Laymon because they viewed Kings work as too tame. While others went to King because they believed that Laymon was way too far over the top. You see what I mean?
King may have gotten to make his movies and his money, while Richard Laymon could claim that HE was actually the more "HORRIFYING" of the two...
I find it strange that no one has ever pointed this out.
I sure would honor anyone's input on this subject.
I sure do love King. But dead or not... Richard Laymon still has got some moves!
