Referring to the movie King said, "The ending will tear your heart out.but so will life in the end" (via Best Life). They soon realize that something is terribly wrong when a man runs into the door of the grocery store, covered in blood, and claiming to have seen something unnatural in the mist. Deviating from King’s original 1980 novella, the show borrows its initial premise: A scenic Maine town (Bridgeville in the show, Bridgton in the novella) is engulfed by a mysterious fog. While inside the grocery store, a thick fog begins to envelope the town, trapping the town's grocers inside. King was inspired to write the story after a thunderstorm killed the power in his hometown. David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his son, Billy (Nathan Gamble), go into town to the grocery store to gather supplies for the house. In 1980, Stephen King published one of his most disturbing stories, a novella called The Mist. Set in a small town in Maine, like many of King's stories, The Mist begins with the townspeople recovering from the damage from a storm that wreaked havoc on their town. That's because the film was adapted from King's 1980 novella by the same name. The Mist, released in 2007 and directed by Frank Darabront, is a particularly appropriate film to include on a list of Stephen King's favorite horror movies.
