I think the New Outer Limits did something like this, where a couple get ahead of time and watch as everything is being built by robots(?). It would have been funny to see the people in The Langoliers arrive ahead of time and see blue people running around doing last minute adjustments but just for a second, and they have the feeling of being watched.

This is a film that could use a remake, with modern graphics, but no other changes. It's a BRILLIANT story, and actually scary. It is exceedingly rare that horror lives up to its name in even the faintest of ways for me.

The creepy sci-fi suspense of the first 90% was SO GOOD. But it really needs a change of ending, the monsters were so jarringly bad it was easy to forget all the quality setup before that point. A collapsing void of nothingness, a marching wave of petrification locking things in time forever, anything else. Say the *people* stuck here are The Langoliers if there's any need to justify the title.

@@jbutler8585the langoliers themselves won’t ever look very scary on film. The concept of them is what is scary and it really only works when you are reading compared to watching. An emotionless, likely mindless creature that only does one thing: eat the fabric of that reality. The reality of the past. For the passengers that accidentally slip into that reality, that would be a horrifying thing to comprehend. Seeing it as a viewer? Meh, not quite as much. That’s why I think majority King’s stories don’t make good movies. As a reader you tend to put yourself in the shoes of the character and it’s more real for you, viewing it just doesn’t equate. One of the scariest parts in IT for me is when Ben sees mummy pennywise on the frozen water and he lets go of balloons that float toward Ben against the wind. Seeing that on screen wouldn’t be scary; but for me at least, putting myself in his shoes while reading and imagining I’m seeing that as him would make me shit a brick

Langoliers was the backrooms before the backrooms/liminal areas were a thing. I saw this movie as a kid like six years old maybe. It has stuck with me my entire life. The short story, like the movie, the langoliers aren't the fear, they're a part of the stories for all of five minutes, it's the empty spaces you expect to occupied. It's walking into a room expecting someone to be there, you know they're there, but they aren't, you know something is wrong, you can't prove it, it just is and it's wrong. And you're alone and there is nothing you can do about it.

I think what happens to the people that disappear is they slip into Todash space. Todash is a concept from the Dark Tower which is the place in between worlds like the empty space of a wall cavity. It's also generally assumed that the creatures we see in The Mist are the natural denizens of Todash space, so it's not somewhere you want to be.

IDK if anyone here watches Phineas and Ferb, but the creators explicitly said that along with Groundhog Day (cuz time keeps looping), the show's original series finale is actually inspired by The Langoliers. And honestly, I can see it. Literal rips in time eating things away, things going missing leaving the world feeling emptier, literal zones outside of time that feel unnatural and dead.

Have you read the book? It's a bit long but a fun read and the horror never stops. It's part of a 4-story series from his novel collection "Four past midnight." They also made a movie called "Secret Window" starring Johnny Depp and John Tuturro. This is also in the collection along with The library policeman and the Sun Dog. I wish they would make Sun dog. A teen gets a Polaroid camera for his birthday. The pictures come out the same no matter what he points it at. He soon sees a dog appear and wonders if he should continue taking pictures or destroy the camera.

This mini-series was scary as hell as a kid and even today it still is, what's great about it that the Langoliers don't show up until the end. Most of the rest of the mini-series is slow burn setup for their appearance and its about mostly about the passengers learning about the world left behind in time and its eeriness. Why that works is that it makes the Langoliers arrival even more scary. What's interesting is that the Langoliers are not real threat to the passengers, but a sociopathic corporate executive who suffers a mental breakdown and harass and menaces the others while they are trying to escape.

I've never been into horror as a genre, especially gore, but as a kid I remember seeing the movie of this on TV once when I was 10-12 or so. I don't even remember most of it, but getting unsynched back behind the universe in time and seeing the cleaners that clear out what is left in the wake of reality was just interesting as a concept to me. Not "scary/horror", just...psychological and almost scientific/physics, which has been a hallmark of my life since. I don't find it surprising that you liked it as well. : )

this is such a cool idea. stephen camped it up with making the universe fun liminal and having the monsters be kinda silly and escapable and stuff, but just the concept, that the eternal universe is real, we all exist in a sort of reality crystal where everything already exists, but in our part of the universe, some creature eats the past, and so a plank seconds behind you is an annhilating eldritch force, always trying to catch up and eat the present, the conscious you, and its destroying our past, which could have adverse effects of causality or something. its a cool concept.

When I was a kid IT was the scariest Stephen King story. Now as an adult, I haven't even read or seen The Langoliers yet, and the premise is already giving me the creeps way more than Pennywise ever did. I can't wait to read this one. The film's 1995 CGI is just plain goofy though. The titular monsters look more like one of the CGI sequences from The Lawnmower Man than eldritch timeline-eaters.

King has another novel about time travel, 11-22-63. It's mostly a historical fiction adventure with some mystery and conspiracy thriller elements, but in the last act it ramps up into sci fi horror along similar lines to this story. It's just about possible to stitch the two stories together, as mucking about with time in 11-22-63 is clearly doing something physically disastrous to the planet but it's never made explicit how.

Definitely seared itself into my subconscious after I read the book as a young teenager. Toomey’s last line always haunts me, “How can they run so fast? They have no le”

I read that story like 20 years ago when I was around 15 and I will never forget a scene when one of the passangers gazed into the abyss for a few seconds and the mf almost lost their mind completely. You are not supposed to see "nothingness" and certainly your brain and mind are not made to process such thing. Such moment sent me into Lovecraft and cosmic horror.

I remember watching this with my parents in April of 1996 and we loved it. We watched the 2 VHS version one night and stayed up until midnight because we had to see the ending. My family and i were fans of "bad" B movies like this.

Dude, I've had vague memories of this movie for years and could never remember enough details to find it. Thank you! I also totally forgot it was based on a Stephen King novella that I read at the library a while before I saw the movie.

See, I'm actually kind of glad to hear that theirs wasn't the only plane that went through that. The TV movie ended with a goofy little Freeze Frame while the survivors walked arm in arm if I recall, but even at the time, I was wondering what would happen to the pilot when he returns to the tarmac having delivered no one to their destination and returning with only a small handful of passengers. He's still got a crapload of questions to answer, but I imagine those questions will be asked in a friendlier tone as presumably one of the few pilots to bring anyone back.

as a kid, I'd rented the video of Langoliers from my local video store and found it to be an interesting movie. A few years ago, when I was first getting into audiobooks, I devided to see how the novela compared to the movie. I was able to track down a narration by Willem Dafoe, which he nailed. It was a great experience, and I found that the book was very close to the movie. While the movie's nothing special, since it was made for TV and had subpar acting and special effects, the portrayal of the story was captivating. The actor that played Toomey was great.

I watched the movie first. I was like 11. And I was obsessed with it. So I read the book and got into Stephen King novels. I will always love this story
