The slice of life film is quiet, filmed primarily in long takes and is presented in a non-linear fashion. Van Sant adopts a pseudo-documentary filming style and the cast is almost exclusively composed of non-professional teen actors who improvised their scenes and characterizations. The second film in Van Sant’s so-called “Death Trilogy,” Elephant is “the Columbine movie”: it’s a loose recreation of the 1999 school shooting that claimed the lives of 13 people. It’s been a month of vampires, slugs, and biddies with episodes on The Hunger, Night of the Creeps and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? This week, however, Trace and I are getting serious as we tackle gun violence, school shootings, and queerness in gay director Gus Van Sant‘s enthralling film, Elephant (2003).

This particular chapter is dedicated to the uncollected stories from the Creepshow franchise. It’s a volume of the Stephen King Archives, a recurring Patreon feature that sees co-hosts Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams discussing King’s unpublished short stories, long-forgotten interviews, dusty manuscripts, and alternate versions of your favorite tales.
