Stephen King Vs. The Munsters: 2 Book Reviews

Here are two books available from Watson-Guptill Publishers that are perfect for anyone that loves Stephen King movies or loved The Munsters TV show (which you can still find in syndication on TV).

Stephen King is the acclaimed Book and Screenplay author that puts a chill in everyone's spine when they read his works or watch one of the movies he has penned (or have been taken from one of his many books). The Munsters is a much loved show featuring Vampires, Werewolves and a Frankenstein Monster living together as a family at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Here are two books that take you into both of these worlds.

The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Guide
By Stephen Jones

This wonderful book contains, in order, all of the movies that have been created from the works of Stephen King. It includes behind the scenes information about each movie, including Stephen King's own thoughts on the movies themselves. There is some great information available in the book for any fan of Stephen King, whether you are only a fan of his books or if you also love his movies.

Did you know that when Stephen King is asked about how he feels about all of the movies that have ruined his book he simply states something like, "They may not be good movies, but they haven't ruined the books. Look, here they are, lined up on the bookshelf." So even if you think that the books are better than the movies, they are still liked by many and will continue to be created as Stephen King continues to write more books.
