Lair of the White Worm DVD

From my reading this sounds quite familiar to a Stephen King short story I read a long time ago... One of his more overt Lovecraftian stories with many HP references.

Of course, IMDB says it´s based on a Bram Stroker novel so now I´m really confused... anyone who feels like making things clear for me?

I think it was released around the same time Gothic was released. It has nothing to do with King and everything to do with being wonderfuly fucked up

That poor boy scout.....but what a way to go

It has nothing to do with King AFAIK. I think any similarities can be put down to "coincidence".

The film is the usual Ken Russell nonsense, not worth buying unless you're a massive Stoker fan or something.

It's worth it if you like to see Hugh in a kilt and blowing on bagpipes. Despite that, I always thought it was a fun little piece of trash.

And yes, it is based on a long ago short story by Bram Stoker. King might have used some of the imagery from that story for his own tale "Jerusalem's Lot."

Awesome film, I love it ... LOTWW and GOTHIC both show Russell at his finest ... There are a few versions of this DVD though, and steer clear of the full-frame one ...

The Irving Klaw-style wrestling stewardesses is worth the price of the DVD alone

Definitely. You can't really take this movie seriously. The Freudian dreams are a riot, there's some wild make-up, and enough sex to keep you awake. Really weird and entertaining.
