Doctor Sleep

[RJK1981]

Can one of the moderators fix the title of this thread? It's supposed to be Doctor Sleep, not Dr. Sleep. I know, it's a minor thing, but it bugs me!

I was literally just thinking that when I clicked to see the newest messages in this thread, lol. Or at least thinking that name of the thread was wrong anyway

the more the merrier!

Got my preorder via Amazon too - wonder how many variations of this one will be produced (after the TWTTK experience, particularly UK editions)

Awesome! Can't wait!

I guess I'm not used to seeing the word "tween" in print. I read the first paragraph of the the blurb for this 6 times before I figured it out! Of course, I was still in the process of waking up when I read it. He promised that Dr. Sleep would be a return to balls-to -the-wall horror, so I'm all for that. And I wanted Danny to be "normal" after the events of The Shining.....

The new description sounds better than any I've seen so far. I'm so glad it's not regular vampires.

I hope this isn't going to be a sequel like Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. Where they take a popular story and use it to sell a not so great idea that in no way relates to the previous works. Guess we'll wait and see. I am cautiously optimistic.

Actually, they never intended Halloween to be a series about the same bad guy, Michael Meyers. Originally, they intended it to be a *different* story for each sequel; so Halloween 3 was in line with their original vision. The fans and marketplace demanded that Michael return in each one, and thus a franchise was born. I'm not sure if the 2nd one was essentially a continuation of the 1st in that regard, or the 3rd was a "return to the original vision".

Personally I think the 3rd was unique and original, but I can see why people might not like it. Also, bear in mind the special effects (it's weak point) are cheesy in hindsight, it was made in the 80's.

Squire, perhaps we should call you Serpent. Tempter in the Garden. Or just Crawley

Don't know about that...I was "Gator" for awhile. While on the crew (rowing team) in college.

Everybody here is blaming ME for spending THEIR money on books! I just don't understand it...

Because it is your fault.
