The best thing about “King on Screen” is the prologue by Daphne Baiwir which finds her walking in to a shop called the “Creepshop” where she hopes to show a painting she’d purchased. The setting, the characters, and the items in the shop are all subtle visual and verbal references to Stephen King and elements of Stephen King’s stories. It’s something that hooked me in right away and I quite loved the entire effects of Baiwir being savvy to King enough to deliver something of an ode to King. It compensates for “King on Screen” which, in its root, is another basic talking head documentary.

Please introduce yourself.
I am Elaine Pascale. I have been writing for as long as I can remember. What I write has almost exclusively always been horror.

First of all, please introduce yourself a little:
I started writing at the Lorraine Hansberry Theater in my hometown of San Francisco, I was always a spooky kid and loved shows like The Twilight Zone so it was probably inevitable that I’d grow up to be a spooky old lady writing horror stories in my backyard stroking a black cat.
