Jamie Lee Curtis: hello midnight society King: jamie lee curtis! oh wow! King: i loved you in Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends Curtis: oh yeah i was in that Curtis: sorry that's not usually what people recognize me from King: why? what else have you been in? Curtis:

Curtis: i was in halloween King: oh yeah! i loved that! John Carpenter: you hated it when it came out King: well now i love it! Carpenter: Carpenter: god damn son of a bitch

Curtis: and i was in the fog King: oh yeah! i loved that! Carpenter: you hated it when it came out! King: well now i love it Carpenter: GOD DAMN SON OF A BITCH!!

Poe: what brings you here, jamie lee curtis? Curtis: well, i have a relative who wants to be a fictional horror writer Curtis: so i was hoping you guys could give them some ideas Poe: King: Lovecraft: Barker: Koontz: Poe: a fictional horror writer?

Poe: when you say a fictional horror writer, do you mean a writer of horror fiction or do you mean they don't exist, like they're making up a character who's a horror writer or...? Curtis: yes

Poe: well jamie lee curtis i think it would be best if your relative came up with their own ideas Poe: that is a big part of being a writer Koontz: OH OH OH Koontz: have they considered writing a story about a dog?

Curtis: tell me more Koontz: ok so what if there was a dog that was so good that everyone loved her and petted her and this dog was named trixie Curtis: ok Koontz: trixie is my dog's name Curtis: ok Koontz: i named her after my dog Curtis: ok Koontz: if you use this idea, you have to keep the name

Curtis: ok but where does the horror element come in? Koontz: what if the dog had to fight an evil monkey? Koontz: an evil monkey who was jealous of the dog cuz the dog was so cool??? Koontz: also the dog is super smart Curtis: i love it! King: dean don't give away your best idea for free!

King: dean don't just give away your best idea! King: especially not to a fictional writer who doesn't exist! Poe: steve i'm pretty sure she just meant "fiction writer" not a writer who doesn't exist King: oh i thought she meant like a george stark situation Curtis: tell me more about george stark

King: oh well george stark was the evil alter ego of a fiction writer in the dark half and Poe: steve King: and he becomes real after thad beaumont Poe: steve King: what? Poe: King: oh! King: oh you almost got me, jamie lee curtis! King: well played
