Stephen King Project 16: Christine

Posted on 2019-01-22 by thomaspihl62

How about the premise of a possessed car? (No, not re-possessed. Just possessed) Sound strange? Still better than a possessed mangler, right? I don’t think it would work in any other country, but this is America we’re talking about. The … Continue reading →
