Stephen King is well-known for creating horror stories surrounding creepy clowns and mysterious spiders, but he also has the ability to make horror emotional. That’s what he did with his 2015 short story Mister Yummy, and that story is finally getting its movie adaptation due.
Not only that, but horror filmmaking icon Ben Young is attached to direct. The Australian filmmaker rose to fame thanks to his work on Hounds of Love, making it clear that he can bring emotion to a world of intense fear in a breathtaking way.
Mister Yummy can be found in the collection of short stories in The Bazaar of Bad Dreamsfrom 2015. In this story, we follow Ollie Franklin, who is a charming and engaging resident in an assisted living facility. After the death of a resident, he starts to suffer from disturbing visions, and it’s clear that something supernatural is going on.
While King is a master at supernatural horror, there is much more to this story. More often than not, we are our own worst enemies, and Ollie is certainly his own in this case. He is forced to confront some of the secrets of his past, with topics of the 1980s AIDS and feelings of regret coming up.
Very much like The Life of Chuck, this King short story is more than just about the scares. It’s about humanity, and how people react as death gets close.
This is something Young said lured him into the project in the first place, sharing with Deadline that “It’s creepy, moving, character-driven, and exactly the kind of movie I’d line up to see.”
Young will work with Troy Abruzzise to adapt the screenplay, while also directing. He shares that it’s the first time he’s directed and written the script since Hounds of Love, which gained praise from critics and audiences. He has proven his ability to create character-driven, heartbreaking stories while still keeping the thrills.
Mister Yummy is just the latest King adaptation in the works right now, as fans are still waiting on Carrie, Fairy Tale, and another version of The Mist.
