Steven King has the author of several horror novels to readmany of which turned into successful movie and TV adaptations. From "Glitter" to "That" to "Lots of Salem", the writer has more than proven as a true master of the genre, so whenever he recommends something frightening, horror fans take it seriously. Given that in mind, King boasted praise Edgar Alan Po Series, Mike Flanagan, "The Fall of Usher's House", On Netflix - and he even compared his creator with director Quentin Tarantino. As he wrote to X (formerly known as Twitter):

"The fall of Usher's house (Netflix): I missed this when he worshiped due to hip surgery, but this is the case of delayed satisfaction. Scary, involvement, by writing that is spiritual and moves the plot. There is a case that should be made Mike Flanagan to be Quentin.

King designed explain the real one for Comparing Flanagan to Tarantino, but IT MIGHT HAVE SOMERCHING TO WITH THE FACT BOTHISTS Boast Distinct Creative Voices and Like to Deconstruct and Revise the Genrees Operate In. While Tarantino Has Made Crime, War, Horror, Action, and Western Movies, His Work is Almost a Genre Unto Itself-So much so that it's even inspired a sub-genre of tarantino-esque movies like. The Valley "and" things you need to do in Denver when you are dead. "

Similarly, while Flanagan mostly makes horror movies and TV shows, it is not loyal to the regular formulas of the genre. "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a major example of its originality, as the series modernizes the stories of POs and applies them to a satirical family drama within "Succession". Perhaps this is why he found a big fan in King, who also praised Flanagan's adaptations for his stories.

As for this writing, Mike Flanagan has brought three stories on Steven King on the screen - "The Game of Ericarald", "Doctor Sleep" and "The Life of Chuck" - and earned heaps of critical praise for each of these adaptations. Moreover, he is currently working on Kerry's miniser and Giving yourself all to adjust the "dark tower" to TV -Showsuggesting that he is more than happy to spend his creative energies on King -inspired projects for the coming years.

This will also come as good news for King, which routinely praised Flanagan's projects, not only by all those based on his work. In fact, he passionately supported Flanagan's series "The Ghounting of Hold House", based on the beloved Chiller of Shirley Acksecson of the same name as he revealed in the post shared on X/Twitter In 2018:

"Stunning Hill House, revised and reconstructed by Mike Flanagan. I usually don't care about this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to the work of a genius, really.

Of course, Flanagan's unconventional approach to storytelling can also be attributed to the influence of King's stories on his style. The filmmaker is a lifelong fan of the author, and he is driven by his stories of terror, watching how they are more than afraid of scares and bleeding.

Steven King's influence on Mike Flanagan surpasses his work, as some of the original ideas of the television and film creator are Love -Build Letters to the Author's Style, Sensituals and Topics. For example, Flanagan's "midnight mass" can easily be wrong for one of King's creations if you didn't know better. Netflix minisers tell the story of a priest who carries miracles in a small town, but terror is lurking in the shadows. It also resonates the royal stories such as "Salem's Lot" and "Storm of the Century", which focus on rural communities that encounter supernatural threats of horror.

Like King's stories, Flanagan's films and series are fascinated by human drama, and supernatural elements are only there to facilitate transformative trips to their characters. Flanagan believes that King's stories are more than horror, so he gravitates to them, as he once explained in an interview with Editions of Suntup:

"His attention to the development of character, humanity and narrative structure are some of its most precise traits, and they are very difficult to translate into a medium that tends to expose such types of nuances in favor of shock, blood and frightening ...

Although there may be a case to make that Mike Flanagan is a horror Quentin Tarantino, he is probably a natural heir to the King genre, though in a different medium. Regardless of who is comparable, however, many horror fans agree that Flanagan is a real deal.
