My Take

As a horror devotee, Mick Garris occupies a special place for me. He became the trusted translator of Stephen King's strange, sprawling worlds to screen, a job far harder than it looks. Adapting prose that idiosyncratic without flattening it is a craft unto itself, and his 1986 Edgar Award proves the mystery world respected his instincts too. He's never been the flashy blockbuster auteur; he's the devoted craftsman who loved the genre enough to keep nurturing it. Still creating frights past seventy, he's quietly earned my applause as a genuine benefactor to everyone who loves being scared.
