Stephen King at the University of Dayton 1982 (1 of 8)

[zombiwok]

The fact that people so vehemently debate the merit of King's work for so long proves its worth.

[DarkSecret48]

Inspiring, finally someone who understands, and both eloquently and accurately puts the writing of the horror genre into perspective. Thanks again Mr. King hope to meet you soon!!!! :)

[KroliggBloodhoof]

the vocabulary used is hilarious

Jeez King in his younger days!!! He's such an awesome guy! Never arrogant, always down to earth, just a normal guy doing what he loves :)

[Jonnn79]

By that point he was HUGE, and even then he was humble and modest and extremely personable. People claim he's horrible and his works are garbage, but he's actually the most human, intelligent, down-to-earth "celebrity" I know of.

[rane29]

Love King. I mean, absolutely LOVE King, but he says he doesn't remember writing Cujo. I have to wonder if he remembers this :)

[Grisbi6]

I can only imagine how SK must have been cringing during this pretentious wingnut's introduction....

[raggsvettma]

What the fuck, fanny fatigue? Never heard that word before.

[Cairothejackal]

All the big hair is just hilarious. :)

[74candygirl]

He cracks me up!! Francis Ford Coppola! He does look like him here!

Apparently, this was video taped before the advent of color.

[stronghorse22]

[pwninator345]

God damn look at that beard!

[redpaul79]

click 2:22 to skip the boring, pretentious asshole at the beginning who excruciatingly takes his time to spout wise. nice haircut, douchebag.

[elpmanticore]

@redpaul79 haircut? no way, that's a rug.

[redpaul79]

@elpmanticore could be; the only problem there is: who would BUY a wig that terrible looking?

[UncleRabbit1]

@redpaul79 You have to understand this was taped in 1982. Hairdos were different then. This was The Big 80's we must not forget that.

[UncleRabbit1]

@redpaul79 This tape was made back in '82. That explains the weird haircut.

Thank you so much 'nightfallseven' for uploading this Stephen King interview from 1982. This is a real treat to all King fans. (And he was just 35 years old here!)

[ZachClooney]

Stephen King, looking like Francis Ford Coppola, comes on after 2:30

[johnsadgirl]

Thank you so much for posting this, it's awesome, thanks a lot!

[CastleRockFan]

He really does look like Coppola. 

[arthuronfacebook]

[ViperRob42]

Hah wow! I'm glad he got rid of that big ol beard and haircut, then again we all weren't looking at our finest in the 80's ;) thanks for the upload!
