Rose Red with Mallory O'Meara
Episode 207, Nov 29, 2023, 09:00 AM
Kingcast favorite guest, the James Beard-winning author and co-host of the Reading Glasses Podcast, Mallory O'Meara comes back to the show to discuss the intriguing TV mini-series Rose Red. Mallory brings the smarts, citing her deep knowledge of Shirley Jackson, but don't let that fool you. The trademark Kingcast chaos is on full display, including a rather humorous tangent about how susceptible we'd all be to horny ghost tricks. It's a wild one, so strap in!
Rose Red is Stephen King's take on Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, made exclusively for a TV mini-series in the early 2000s. Ghosts, psychics, greedy professors desperate to prove the existence of ghosts and the afterlife, Jimmi Simpson being a creepy weirdo, prune-faced entities, Melanie Lynskey being awesome, this series has it all!
