However, the room is far more sinister than anything he’s ever encountered, and soon the stay becomes a nightmarish ordeal that leads to his physical and mental anguish. In his short story anthology Everything’s Eventual, there is the story “1408” about a writer, Mike Enslin, who ends up spending the night in a haunted hotel room in order to write about it.
And while there are plenty of King film adaptations to choose from, I wanted to go with something a little more under the radar. There’s nothing like a good horror anthology to really make the season come alive, and Stephen King is a master of the horror short story. This book will haunt you as it explores themes of love, heartbreak, and what it means to understand and harness one’s own power. That New World, in the late 17th century, is no less a place than Salem, Massachusetts, and the curse is only the beginning of the story. But Maria’s world is thrown into chaos when the man she loves abandons her, causing her to follow him all the way to the New World. Maria is abandoned in the snow as a child, only to be taken in by Hannah Owens to raise as her own, and taught magic. Alice Hoffman, who wrote the eponymous book the film is based on, has been expanding this magical universe and has just released her second prequel to it, Magic Lessons, all about the origin tale of Maria Owens. At the heart of the film is a curse set on their family by Maria Owens, who had her heart broken by a man. Practical Magic is a classic, mixing elements of horror with a romantic plot full of witches, the living dead, and spells gone awry. Start off the spooky season with a little romance and drama to ease you into the darkening days.
