  • Sort of like how every Pixar film is just "What if __________ had emotions?"
  • @FrankJames
    you know our boy is knocking it out of the park when I've read exactly 0 Stephen King books and still find this hilarious
  • @Templar5
    What if ManCarryingThing was scary?
  • @MrR2TheZ
    Bullies in real life: "Ha ha, you have a stupid name. Gay..." Bullies in Stephen King novels: "Hey twerps!"
  • Stephen King said once in an interview that sometimes he would get incredibly blackout drunk and wake up with a new Novel written
  • @Engineer_Who
    I see commenters calling Daniel's character something like "Stephen King's publisher," but I choose to believe that he's just a personification of the concept of cocaine-induced productivity and confidence.
  • I can’t believe you actually got Stephen King’s publisher to cameo in this video
  • I'll admit I've never read a single book by Stephen King, but thanks to this impeccable summary, now I won't have to.
  • @antk8493
    I really appreciate that for IT you didn't just say "what if clowns were scary" but the more accurate "what if fear was scary". Stephen King is crazy but that's why he's the goat
  • So following the trend would that mean Carrie is just “what if prom was scary?”
  • @Hedgpig
    This felt four times longer than it was, just like a Stephen King book
  • @Newoaf
    Fun fact: Stephen King used to get such frequent nosebleeds from cocaine use in the 70s that he would stuff cotton balls in his nostrils to stop blood from dripping on his typewriter while he wrote.
  • @Blizzic
    I love how the timer eventually just stops mattering
  • @muttjones222
    Bag of Bones is basically “What if ghosts were scary?” so it tracks.
  • @DanePavitt
    We need a HP Lovecraft edition of this. "What if colors were scary? What if air conditioning was scary? What if anyone who isn't me was scary?"
  • I’ve read so many King’s books, including rather news ones, but whenever I take a pause of reading his works, he writes EVEN MORE and it’s hard to catch up. It’s kind of scary lol 😂
  • @dandaropa
    Always nice to see M.C. Thing’s makeup artists at work. This time they even made him look like a new person!
  • @gremlinwc8996
    Never read a Steven King book but literally the reason he wrote the Shining was because, while at the Stanley hotel, he had a nightmare that his son was being chased by a vacuum cleaner. That's it lmao
  • bag of bones is probably about a bag of bones i feel like you nailed that one
