The Fire Starter Experiment: Stephen King History

[@rondocalrizian3962]

Love using the shop to connect to so many other stories

[@80sMoviesRule1]

The original movie with Drew Barrymore was my favorite. The connection between the father and daughter was palpable. You really feel it. The pyrotechnics were breathtaking and scary. The remake…. Kinda disappointing.

[@darthjoe91]

Honestly, my favorite part about Firestarter is where I got it from. I had an English teacher who kept different books in her classroom for book reports, including multiple by Steven King and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, the first comic I ever read. I asked her once about the comics she kept, and she told me that even comic books are considered literature. For Christmas, she gave each student a book that they might enjoy based on the books we chose for book reports, Firestarter was the book she gave me.

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

That's so awesome. I love hearing about GOOD memories / interactions between teachers and their students :)

[@nursemelissajane]

A great English teacher is an amazing thing

[@ArchTeryx00]

The scene in both book and 1984 movie where Charly burns down the Shop still sticks in my mind. One little girl basically became a walking Crocodile tank, armored and armed to the teeth and able to throw flames and incediary projectiles with machine gun speed. The Shop sent everything they had at her and EVERYTHING they sent was promptly shot down or burned, human and machine alike. Small arms, machine guns, RPGs? Couldn't even scratch her. And the absolutely terrifying thing was that that was just the tiniest sample of her powers. A line from the movie always sticks with me: "Suppose there is a little girl out there, somewhere today... this morning!... who has within her, lying dormant at present... the power someday to *crack the very planet in two like a China plate in a shooting gallery?"* She was a doomsday bomb. It's really too bad Stephen King never followed up on that.

[@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical]

He could've done a hell of a lot more with The Shop. In the Lawnmowerman Movie ( nothing remotely to do with the short story) The Shop was funding and monitoring the experiment that blurted the lines between the Virtual and Physical World. Tapping again into the part of the brain and weaponize it only to have it run out of control and destroy thier agents Frankenstien Style.

[@johnalbert6900]

Doesn’t Charlie think about how she’ll be able to manipulate the sun when she gets older?

[@ArchTeryx00]

@@johnalbert6900 She thinks that's a distinct possibility, yes, that she'll become so powerful after puberty she'll be able to influence the sun's fusion reactions. Considering the power she showed as a young kid, she may not be far off. I always thought, "No, she probably can't turn the sun on or off, but she sure as hell might be able to trigger massive solar flares, which could EMP the planet and knock out anything electrical worldwide." Scary thought. On the other hand, the Shop probably was thinking far too narrowly. You have a girl who might be able to *start fusion reactions with her mind.* Put her in front of an experimental fusion power plant and tell her to flick the lighter...

[@enerioffutt1881]

@@johnalbert6900 YES! She thinks, "I changed the sun" and then realizes it's just the steam and it will blow away. But then, deep inside herself, she has the knowledge that one day, she WILL be able to change the sun.

[@travisbell736]

I certainly chuckled at that also

[@Itried20takennames]

Glad the Tuskegee experiment was described accurately here, in that the bad part was that the study did not tell participants that they had syphilis (more common at the time). The study did NOT give participants syphilis, as many YT videos claim.

[@Allspadez]

I'm from Alabama...some Had Syphilis already and others were exposed to Syphilis. These are/were family members and friends of ours. The point was that they studied them like Animals without treatment, helping spread the disease, and cause more issues in our community. My Grandfather's and uncles friends Did Not have the Disease until they ended up getting 'treatment' from the sellout Nurse Evers and her Doctors.

[@kimwhatmatters4085]

Why are you glad?!? What’s wrong with ppl thinking the government gave the men the disease and how are u do sure they didn’t?!? Which is untrue if you don’t inform those who have if they’re infected and they infect others you did it. Like omission of the truth is still a lie. That’s happening is the invalidate or minimization of damage by demonic ppl that don’t want true accountability. Even worse the demonization of the victims as if they are to blame for thier predicament like they’re partly to blame 🙄🤨. How evil do you have to be that you’re bothered that ppl find the experiment wrong 😮 ur like 🗣 it wasn’t that wrong 😑

[@jharris3267]

No this experiment was not benign. The men were not treated at all! The medicine they were given was a placebo. The experiment had no real purpose just a morbid fascination about what untreated syphilis would do to those who,had it. The damage that was done to those men was horrific. The damage that was done to Black Americans is still being felt today. There is a mistrust of white doctors. A suspicion that they are not receiving medicine.

[@kiraaisling9603]

There are other cases of multiple different governments giving their citizens std’s to see the effect that might be why people are confused. Still super fkd up.

[@MoiraWillenov]

Yes they did. You need to do more research.

[@montecristo1845]

I adore this type of epistolary storytelling. Some of my favorites include Dracula, World War Z, and the Griffin & Sabine books. Also, kudos for the documentary style this video utilizes. Also also, I audibly chuckled when the “bathroom in Florida” was filled with boxes of documents and the “laptop in Delaware” were key clues in the Firestarter/Shop mystery. 😂😆

[@GuiltyKit]

I liked that he managed to portray effectively having superpowers is something you would absolutely not want to have to deal with. How he turned what would be a power fantasy for most into a horror story.

[@elmermedina1713]

Depending on the power. I'd love to have the power to teleport. Save lots on transportation. Just enough to teleport between countries

[@MoiraWillenov]

He was very correct.

[@FullMoonOctober]

@@elmermedina1713 Just wait until you accidentally teleport into oncoming traffic, or partially into a solid object. Most of the time they portray teleportation (with consequences) is that you either have to know the place you're going or have some sort of way to feel out the place your landing and course correct. Although never having to pay for a tank of gas or car insurance again does sound like it'd be worth the risk.

Thank You very much, first time I found this. Been a Stepehn King fan from start. I have cancer and reading I am so tired so love hearing my favorite stories

[@itf2586]

It's been decades since I read Firestarter, so any specific memories I feel I have retained from the novel may likely be influenced by the 5 or 6 viewings of the 1984 film I have rewatched over the years. That said, my favorite part of the the novel is "The Incident at the Manders Farm". Not for the destruction it causes, nor for the chaos it brings to both the Manders & McGees, but rather the goodness & kindness offered to complete strangers, helping our fellow man & woman, that's all it takes. At a point when Andy is most desperate and terrified for his daughter's safety, after just having lost his wife, the Manders take in both Andy & Charlie, despite the red flags & warning bells. People helping people, strangers saving strangers, that's all it takes, and it's a shame that we don't cuz no one need ever feel alone & helpless.

I always wondered if maybe Carrie White's father was a part of these experiments or that "the Shine" is a product from them.... I agree that this is an underrated gem!!! Great storytelling, good sir! Cheers

[@modestalchemist]

I feel like the shine might have been augmented by the experiments, and those who didnt have the shine died horrible deaths in the lab. I also think everyone who survived captain tripps in the stand had the shine, and thats how abigail and/or flagg was able to come to them in their dreams.

A story that I like a lot is "Hearts In Atlantis" from the book of the same title. Nothing of any major significance happens so I don't know if there would be much you could do with it on this channel, but I just find the characters and their unhealthy addiction to the game of Hearts really interesting. And I think King loosely based Peter Riley on himself.

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The Live Like A King Real Estate sign is an image from the Castle Rock TV show... And the John Rainbird image is sort of a happy accident. I was trying to generate him on the Midjourney AI app... and it kept refusing to create a normal looking eyepatch. After a lot of editing and image regeneration, that ragged looking crow-like patch over his eye was the best I could muster up!

[@alicenolfi2095]

Great video as always! I read 'Firestarter' around 8 years ago, and I've read *hundreds* of books since then, but I still remember it well. Andrew was truly a tragic figure, I rooted for Charlie like I've done with few other characters, and Rainbird was terrifying. Also, I really, *really* hope we get an episode of Hatfield making it safely back to the mainland. Considering King's Multiverse, I envision the podcaster either hitching a ride with a marine animal, or making a deal with some kind of Lovecraftian horror XD

[@alman54]

This was so interesting to watch. i love how you mixed real-life events with the fantasy of the story, i.e. the laptop in Delaware, the "upcoming" film, and all the photos and even George Hatfield, too bad he disappeared.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

I read the Stephen King Novel before ever watching the film? This happened to be one of King's Best! The Novel always has a backstory and many details you never see in any film! In the opening credits of the Firestarter it states the Novel was based on True Events. Of Course we see this more often now as a ploy to get viewers whether it's true or not? However, in the early 1980's this was not the case. When a film stated it was based on true events, we took that to heart.

You forgot about the fire at the Manders' farm. Irv Manders picked up Andy and Charlie McGee while they were hitch hiking. The Shop followed them to the home of Irv and Norma Manders. Charlie set fire to these guys, chickens, the barn, a chopping block, and made the cars explode. Andy encouraged the carnage and he had to slap Charlie in the face to get her to stop. Irv gave Andy a Willie's jeep and Andy and Charlie took off. Charlie came back to the farm a year later without Andy.

So I keep going back over it,… maybe King borrowed the name from IT and decided to just think nobody would notice or use it as a callback.

Honestly, the sheer amount of horror stories we're only now hearing about makes it difficult to even fathom, that people are STILL being treated like lab rats by the U.S military and C.I.A etc. Obviously these people must have spouses and kjdd of their own, so what did they tell them they worked as when leaving for work every day?? Also, didn't any of them ever even feel bad or remorseful for their actions over the years. Scary!!!
