it’s hard to look at these things the
same way ever again
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
things stephen king ruined for us before
we begin we publish new content every
day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at the everyday
objects places and/or situations that
have taken on a dark twist ever since
the horror master got a hold of them we
were thinking of upgrading into a Ken
house sleep
14:08 please number 10 cell phones given
the dependents a lot of people have on
their electronics some folks might wish
he’d ruined this one a bit more in his
2006 novel cell which was later adapted
to a film of the same name after an
event known as the pulse using a cell
phone becomes deadly and transforms
anyone who turns one on into a raging
zombie insert throwaway joke about how
smartphone users are already zombies
anyway after reading or watching this
story you’ll probably think twice about
answering that call or text because like
they did number nine kink anyone who’s
ever engaged in a little BDSM will tell
you that the most important thing is
safety this is good you like that
however or Jesse Burlingame is anything
but safe when an attempt to spice up a
problematic marriage goes horribly wrong
and she’s left handcuffed to a bed her
husband dead on the floor and although
given some of the terrible husbands King
has created over the years that might be
for the best you won’t be scared if the
Fifty Shades series got people
interested in bondage play
Gerald’s game does precisely the
opposite and as Jesse fights to survive
you might find yourself thinking twice
about real handcuffs or other durable
apparatuses during sexy times you can
pull to your wrists break you’re not
getting out of those cuffs number eight
other people you think you know a guy if
there’s one thing that defines the work
of Stephen King it’s his ability to look
down the streets of every town America
and make us wonder what really goes on
over the garden wall in Kings suburbia
the monsters aren’t in the woods are
high up in a lonely tower okay well
sometimes they are but often they live
right next door don’t trouble your
pretty little head dear get it
it works like it Salem’s Lot and the
outsider audiences are forced to
question how much they really know about
the people who make up their communities
even those they think they know number
seven cars and trucks
nothing like packing up the car and
hitting the open road right honey you
might think twice about that if you’re
familiar with these infamous automobiles
in from a Buick ate an abandoned car
turns out to be a portal to a hellish
alternate dimension
similarly Christine the eponymous car
from the 1983 film and novel is almost
literally Hell on Wheels while killer
cars are taken to a whole new level in
the danger surrounding cars is usually
reserved for bad driving but in the king
multiverse even empty vehicles are
deadly
number six children and childhood
innocence there are so many creepy kids
throughout the SK Canon it’s almost
impossible to list them all question not
my judgment Malachi I forgive her of his
work gage creed Danny Torrance
Charlie McGee Isaac kroner they’re all
creepy for different reasons and they’ll
all make you wonder if your own little
kid niece nephew or even the brat you
babysit can start fires with their mind
or talk to the dead he’s gonna weigh
missus times or you’ll wonder about your
own childhood and what your
coming-of-age moment was hopefully it
didn’t involve finding a dead body
many of kings young heroes also have
complicated or strained relationships
with their parents why can’t you have
friends like Denny’s sure they are a
thief and too Pheebs if you’re gonna
ruin childhood might as well been
trustworthy mentors and parental figures
to look at them now boys and nothing
like a little fear to make a paper man
crumble
number five prom for many students
across North America prom is an
important milestone after all those
years of hard work it’s a decadent
send-off into the wider world you’ll
never forget it however since the mid
70s even if it’s not explicitly
mentioned thanks to Carrie White no prom
is complete without a joke or thoughts
with bullying and school violence a
bigger problem now than ever stepping
into the glitz and glam of a senior prom
is not without its stressors odds are
your prom is not gonna end with a
telekinetic temper tantrum but better
make sure the exits aren’t blocked just
in case number 4 pets it’s pretty hard
to flat-out ruin pets however have you
ever wondered just how easily they might
turn on you what if your little furry
friends weren’t so friendly anymore in
Cujo a big goofy st. Bernard goes from
cuddly canine to killer simply because
Hindon Pet Sematary Louis Creed’s
attempt to give his cat Church a second
chance at life leads to some very bleak
places you’d be forgiven if the next
time you let the cat in you wonder just
where they’d been and if you really knew
number three the state of Maine few
authors have become so tightly connected
to their home state as Stephen King
while generally less emphasis is placed
on location in the film adaptations in
the books constant readers have been
regularly reminded that the Pine Tree
State is the place for a scare the
fictitious towns of Derry Castle Rock
and Jerusalem’s also known as Salem’s
Lot are all located in Kings main has is
Shawshank Prison but other real small
towns are also employed giving them
extra creep factor now when people head
to vacation land it’s not just Lobster
and rocky beaches tourists have in mind
but vampires otherworldly mists aliens
and general spookiness number two hotels
before the shining gothic horror was
generally reserved for old mansions
however King cleverly replaced creepy
castles a washing ghosts with a more
relatable location the whole genre of
haunted hotels seems to stem back to
Stephen King and it’s changed the way
most people view their stays be honest
you’ve definitely wondered once or twice
while stepping out of your hotel room
into a long empty hallway if you’re
gonna be invited to play forever and
thanks to King more than one hotel goer
has probably thought about what lies
behind the doors of those long quiet
corridors and maybe if some patrons have
[Music]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions I know
you’ve been out one clowns and balloons
there was a time when clowns were highly
beloved entertainers hi Georgie hello
however the world clown Association has
come out to say that the publication of
it and its subsequent adaptations have
ruined the reputation of clowns
effectively destroying their jolly image
for good beep beep – and sadly we have
to agree more often than not when clowns
are brought up in conversation these
days it’s not the smiling faces of bozo
and Ronald people think of but the
maniacal grin of Pennywise don’t feel
too bad about it though
here have a balloon they float they all
