Written in 2010 as part of King’s Full Dark, No Stars collection, 1922 tells the story of a Nebraska farming family with a dark secret. Thomas Jane stars as Wilfred James, who kills his wife Arlette (played by Molly Parker) in a fit of rage.

Netflix’s adaptation of the tale has been directed by Zak Hilditch, who made These Final Hours. Among the other castmembers of 1922 are Dylan Schmid, Kaitlyn Bernard, Brian D’Arcy James, and Neal McDonough.
The film will be released on Netflix on October 20.

That film is now the highest-grossing horror movie in US history, with Andy Muschietti’s film surpassing the amount collected at the box office by the seminal film The Exorcist back in 1973.
Muschietti also revealed recently which King horror novel he’d like to adapt after he finishes the sequel to IT – although he has yet to be officially confirmed as the sequel’s director.
