This interview of Stephen King looks rare, thanks for sharing this.

The original was better. FIGHT ME

My wife bought me the book the stand complete and uncut version. I love it! It's very interesting especially about the characters the movie or show didn't really mention I'm barely on chapter 3 and so excited to read more 😊

What an overrated P.O.S. book.

Funny how many of the comments are "I just finished the book and..." I also just finished it a couple days ago and I can already tell it will be one of the books that stays with me forever. I read the Complete and Uncut Edition coming in just short of 1,200 pages (my longest book by a good deal). Despite it seeming a little overwhelming to start with, it seemed to roll by on it's own momentum and was over in fairly short order for such a whopper. The parts King mentioned in the video are some of the more memorable scenes from the book so I am glad I chose the version that contained them all. It would have been a lesser book without them, though undoubtedly still a masterpiece.

Did someone hear the fart at 7:45?

"It" is definitely his best book

I wish I'd kept my copy of the cut-down version of The Stand; probably worth more than $12.95 these days.

Bad bad bad mistake. The 1978 version is superior. The uncut version is just TOO slow zzz 🥱 😴

I have a copy of the uncut version and I will be seeing all the gaps that get filled in from the original!

It was not in vain.

The simpleton of novels. Love this guy how blissful it is to escape into story in this dopes head

One of the best books I’ve ever read

Under the dome is best

Oh BTW George Romero said to say hello badass mofos

Talk about the Las Vegas trip LOL damn what the heck or hell either way

Even though it's not with a b and a pH instead Stephen King anyway funny stuff

That's for Steven got your buddy sitting right here

This guy looks a lot like Joe Hill.

#cheers ... #cujo STYLE #stephenking

Holy shit

How beautiful is this! I love him so much! Thank you so much.

I love Stevie but damn..... Wtf is that face 😵

You want to be able to have been in a positiion to have a 1300 plus page version of a novel that then have 500 pages edited out.

Anamorphic Embryos

The Furious Five would approve of this origin.

Cutting out The Kid is a tragedy that is the scariest part in the book, I felt disgusted after reading that part

The following is a true story believe it or not. I read the Stand & its still to this day, my all time favorite Stephen King novel hands down. It's scary as all hell because for me, its something that "could" happen in real life IMO. But that's not where I'm going with this. So one night I had just finished reading King's book "Pet Sematary" & just as I closed the book on the last page a thought came to me. How it would be really cool if they made this into a movie. Now for the part you won't believe. Just as I thought that, as God as my witness a commercial came on & YES it was a preview of a NEW Stephen King movie due in theaters called & are ya ready for this, PET SEMATARY! Talk about being freaked out, I mean what are the odds of that happening? I know, crazy right? But its a true story & I wanna thank Stephen King for scaring the shit out of me once again. The master of fright continues on....... Thank you Sir King!!! GREAT JOB!!!

who knew the stand would become a true story in 2020 with the Coronavirus

Blaine is a pain.

I had no idea that i read a mutilated version. I want to get my hands on the original. 😁😁

Not sure if he has ever acknowledged it, but Stephen King looks cooler, or I guess less of an asshole, now that he is old and shaven.

I was like a kid on Christmas Day when I bought the uncut version of The Stand in 1990. I think I read the first 300 pages in a little over a day. I was as obsessed with those characters in The Stand as Annie Wilkes was with Paul Sheldon’s characters in his book.

I love the uncut version. Why did they make him cut it down. It ruined the story in parts

I know this will sound weird to some people and to some they will sadly know where I'm coming from. Stephen King saved my sanity as a teenager. When i read his books i could leave my horrible home life for a few chapters at a time. If I'm honest more than a few chapters at a time. But i digress. When people talk about his drug/alcohol abuse. He's human. Shit happens. Mr. King is the one who told us He had a problem. He's overcome His addictions and is a better man for it. Also from what I see and hear His kids are well adjusted human beings. Be like Stephen King!

Lol he can never keep his dates straight. He talks like he submitted The Stand in 1974, he didn't even start writing it till '75!

"His fingernails ripped back like wet decals." OWWWWIE!!!

👁$ extended at Walmart & ✔ out 👧 asked if 👁was going 2 read it,& 👁said: "No- 👁m going 2 use it as a 🚪 stop" "Oh," reply

I'm glad he was willing to put up with the HASSLE!

Jeezus he's always been such a weird looking dude lol hasn't he?! 🤣 Brilliant author and storyteller, but goofy looking nonetheless.

your ghostwriter name richard bauchman stands the same mike doug jodys game

Big King fan here and I'm actually reading the stand right now for the first time and during the pandemic somewhat ironically

My favorite book of all time.

...did he poot?

Can you get rid of that annoying black bar with the stupid numbers? ☹️

His books suck.

Would love to read an uncut version or even add to it from your perspective now, Stephen...would be supercool!

I wonder what he’d say about the remake of the show. It seems like most of the people that like it are the ones who have never read/can’t remember the book. I’ve never seen it but the few clips that I’ve seen of it make me think that they tried to match the book with the show.

I started getting into King last year and I realised there was no better time to read the Stand than during a flu-like virus pandemic

Nooooooooo!
