From the Archives: Horror Writer Stephen King on the Terrors of Sex.

Part I of a two-part interview with "Mr. Horror," writer Stephen King. To date, he's written 24 novels, 19 feature films, two mini-series, and one TV movie. He ushered in a whole new era of horror with his first novel, "Carrie," published in 1974. He's got a new novel, "Gerald's Game," which deals with sadomasochism.

In addition to Steven King and Jordan Peele, we talk with Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins about how he humanized Hannibal Lecter, the oh-so-sophisticated cannibal of The Silence of the Lambs. And Carrie star Sissy Spacek remembers sneaking into the theaters in New York City to watch audiences jump at the sight of her hand stretching up from the grave at the end of that film. Plus, we hear from actor Mercedes McCambridge, who voiced the devil in The Exorcist; George Romero, who directed Night of the Living Dead; and Kathy Bates, who starred in the 1990 film Misery.

King talks about what terrified him as a child — and what frightens him as an adult. Peele talks about the fears that inspire his filmmaking. Originally broadcast in 1992, 2013 and 2017.
