Stephen King Gift Set

The Stand: Originally aired as a television mini-series, this all-star filmization of Stephen King's gripping epic of good versus evil chronicles the episodic adventures of a disparate group of people who struggle to reestablish civilization after a man-made catastrophe wipes out most of the world's population. The world abruptly ends when a deadly virus accidentally escapes from a government sponsored biological warfare laboratory. Soon people are dropping like flies from the plague, but a few survive and find themselves strangely compelled to head into the West. Good-hearted people follow the voice of an ancient black woman and head for Boulder, Colorado. Bad people follow the enigmatic Walkin' Dude to Las Vegas. It is only a matter of time before the two sides are forced into a climactic battle over the final fate of humanity. Golden Years: This made-for-TV mini-series from the notorious horror writer centers upon a hapless old janitor who begins undergoing incredible physical changes after he is accidentally covered with experimental chemicals following a laboratory mishap. Now the government will stop at nothing to get him back. The Langoliers: Ten passengers on a red-eye flight from L.A. to Boston discover that they are not the only people on the plane, but after making an emergency landing in Bangor, Maine, they discover that they are the only people on the planet. This film was based off the Stephen King short story Four Past Midnight.

hours of enjoyment

I really enjoyed this product..Almost 13 hours of viewing...These were made for TV movies and are pretty good ..I usually watch about 1 hour of a movie each morning before work so these kept me entertained for a while..Gary Sinise is very good in The Stand..It has to be incredibly hard to make movies from some of Stephen King's works, but these are fairly true to his novels..A great buy!!!!

Stephen King Gift Set

The Stand is a classic. The Langoliers was somewhat scary and The Golden Years was rather slow and somewhat dated. September 24, 2008

Stephen Kings gift set the stand golden years and langoliers

The Langoliers just happened to be in the set, no value to me, but the Stand and Golden Years were some of the best I've seen and for the price the value of this package is very good. August 28, 2008

Good Choice!

I have been a Stephen King fan for years. As a result I have a pretty good collection of his books and ended up purchasing the movies as they came out. My son, who also shares the SK passion enjoys the movies so I started passing them on to him. At one point I realized that I wanted to rebuild my movie collection and when I reviewed my options Amazon.com seemed the most logical. With this pick I got three of my favorites and ordering online makes it so very simple. Thanks I am tickled with the addition to my movie library! July 20, 2008
