Stephen King's Thoughts on Halloween | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@danielmoore8853]

Conan is definitely one of the best late night show hosts. He has a real connection with his guests on his show, unlike a lot of other late night show hosts. He actually talks to them and isn't self centered. Overall a great comedian in general.

[@tessyoung419]

I agree one hundred per cent!

[@thomashood5973]

And there a turd somewhere that is LESS stinky than the others. Get it?

[@nicolasmeca4797]

And not only that, but also the fact he is a writer so he might be fascinated with King's work. He has proven to be one of the most sensible and smart heads of the new age of Hollywood stars. For me, there's no other late night host.

Stephen King was completely straight-faced when he mentioned that he could never figure out what was going on in the Ladies Room 😂 🤓

[@eltravos99]

This is definitely his writing style. He comes up with a brilliant idea and then navigates it to the ending.

Not really. His shit isn’t scary at all.

[@Voldycssm19]

@@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss I think it's hard for literature to be scary, it can't jump out at you and you have to think about it a lot. Pet Sematary was scary though. One of my top 3 books

[@kransin390]

He actually wrote a short story about a tiger in the bathroom called Here There Be Tygers. Not his best work, but interesting nonetheless.

[@carlodave9]

I would encourage you to write it! Cuz he didn’t. There is no copyright on an idea. “What if a bathroom turned predator?” Answer that in 30 thousand words and you’re a novelist.

[@Technickcall]

@@carlodave9 They could make it so when a man goes in to investigate there's nobody in there. Only when a women goes in does she disappear.

[@3rdreichball525]

Theres almost limitless ways to approach this story. Could be a haunted bathroom where a serial murder happened. Could be the entrance to an alternate dimension. Could be a sex trafficking scheme that has people abducted in the bathroom where a secret tunnel was dug. I mean you could really turn this into something if you want

[@rickardedman8836]

There's a film called Glorious (2022) that's kind on a similar theme, it's a restroom out in the middle of nowhere and this guy is having a conversation with this ancient eldritch god behind one of the toilet booths. The whole film almost only takes place in this restroom, or just outside.

[@GorGob]

lol make him drink it first!

[@osmankovacevic6135]

This last bit summs up the whole Steven King universe. A perfect pitch that gets you hooked enough so that when you see it's going nowhere you'll still finish it because of the hook. I guess he never knew where does it go for any of his books.

"NIGHT IN ZAGREB" by ADAM MEDVIDOVIĆ is Stephen Kings latest pen name fo a series that he is doing, and the first part from the series is already out. That is already his postmortem gift to readers because its supposed to be revealed after he dies. This is info from close people to him, so thats the new read we have

He is suffering from severe TDS.

[@thegildedagemadonnabe]

The toilet from hell just puts the image in my head of what Metallica's original Kill Em All album cover was supposed to be. A hand with a switchblade knife coming up out of the toilet. I love Stephen King. He is one of the best storytellers in the world and wonderful man.

[@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed]

That was actually pretty funny. Criminally underrated. I didn't think King even had a funny bone in him. I think that's what caught good ol' Coco off guard. He was so smooth with it too that Conan had to think about it for a second. The quip almost went under the radar.

[@wolfhaven9312]

@@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed if you didn't think King was funny then you haven't really read his books. Some are disturbing (Pet Sematary, Rose Madder, Gerald's Game). Some are sad (The Stand, Dolores Claiborne, Hearts in Atlantis). And some anti-government ones (The Stand, Firestarter, The Tommyknockers) and those are the ones that have the most humor. I really enjoy the cynicism of Jim Gardner in The Tommyknockers. You can see a lot of his humor in many of his books.

It’s the spirit of a bullied, “peeping Tom” (one of those pee fetish types) teen who was drowned in an aggressive “swirly” incident. He is now coming through the plumbing to exact revenge, specifically targeting women, because they always rejected him and his disproportionately large nose and were creeped out when he would ask to watch them “do their business.”

So i could have listened to King outlining the story for the ladies bathroom for another hour! My mind was already racing just from the concept. Although personally, its also cool NOT to know what was in that bathroom....my mind will happily fill in the blanks and write its own fiendishly dark ending. Sounds like a perfect short little number from his 1990s collection 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes'. Are there any May 2024 people here with Kings new short story collection 'So You Like It Darker'?
