Mmmm …Chrisssstiiiinnne ….Īlistair Cross grew up on horror novels and scary movies, and by the age of eight, began writing his own stories. When it comes to (dramatic) evolution of characters, this is the yardstick by which all my efforts are measuredĪdditional thoughts: Is it just me, or is Christine a totally sexy name? I don’t know what it is about it that gets me all hot and bothered, but it does. How it inspired me: I’ve rarely seen a character arc as compelling and emotional as that of Arnie Cunningham’s in Christine. Sounds kinda silly, right? Not the way Stephen King tells it, it ain’t … I mean, think about it: Christine is basically a book about a haunted car. What it taught me: That any idea can be a good idea, depending on the delivery. Other media: The 1983 film of the same name It’s like a Timex watch, it takes a licking and goes on ticking.” I can’t explain it either …įun Facts: In a 1984 interview about Christine, Stephen King said, “Seriously, I don’t know how Chrysler feels about Christine … but they should feel happy, because it’s a pretty lively car and it lasts a long time.

Standout achievements: For me, I’d say it’s the way the narrative switches from third to first person POV, out of the middle of nowhere. Stephen King tosses in some dang fine tunes here Most memorable scene: Christine, hunting down the enemies of her man … Notable characters: Dennis Guilder, a high school jock Arnie Cunningham, a high school geek … with a killer new car Christine, the killer new car My favorite quote: “If being a kid is about learning how to live, then being a grown-up is about learning how to die.”
