Late happy birthday to the King Of Horror. GOAT shit right there.
 
I remember reading my first Stephen King novel, The Shining. I was still a grade-schooler, everything was so vivid in my mind, the brain splatters on the wall, the hedge animals coming to life, and the scariest scene for me was the lady in the tub. I can still see her in my mind.
