I wasn't quite as innocent as this but somehow based on later homages/ripoffs I expected the idea to be there was an actual woman named Christine whose ghost was haunting the car I was kind of surprised the original just straight up has an evil car for no real reasonhttps://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1369117912934580226 …

Imagine if your car wasn't particularly mean to YOU, because you're white, but it's like getting into racist Qanon shit Keeps trying to switch to talk radio while you're driving and run over people who look like immigrants Stephen King's MARJORIE

"Just randomly in this world common everyday objects are sentient and malicious and want to cause you harm" I mean, when you put it that way, that's a completely reasonable view for most people to take.

If my memory serves, King wrote about how his explanations often felt like the weakest parts of his stories. He would have the inspiration and then add explanations for marketability. I believe that explains some of the strength of his short stories.

Boy howdy, 100% agreed on this as a strength of his short stories over his novels.

It’s interesting because that’s purely the movie adaptation: In the book it *was* someone’s spirit (or rotten life force, or something) possessing the car. The movie totally drops this and slaps “Bad to the Bone” on at the front so you know where you are

You can just assume that every monsters in King's stories are emanations of the Todash Space, the "There's a weird place that lies inbetween all the parallel universe and the monsters come from it" of the Dark Tower.

If I remember right, wasn't that part of the deal with the Oculus movie? The mirror is evil and incredibly sadistic about what it does and makes people do, but it's never given an origin, it's just there and it gets passed from house to house because no one thinks it could be bad
-
"Sure, the five previous owners of the mirror were involved in a gruesome murder-suicide, but it's just a decorative mirror, it's perfectly safe."
