42 - The Raft

Published: May 24, 2018, 3:40 a.m.

In this week's episode, Patrick Lacey (author of Bone Saw) joins us to discuss "The Raft" from Skeleton Crew (1985) and Creepshow 2(1987). We dig into the bizarre yet fascinating history of the story's previous life, which includes the time Stephen King got drunk and stole a bunch of traffic cones and was promptly arrested. Also, why is there even a raft out in this lake if there's a NO SWIMMING sign? Why did George Romero decide to turn the protagonist into a creepy rapist? And where exactly did Deke hide those drugs? PLUS: Danny Boyle's 28 Trimesters Later.
