After having a surprising amount of fun last week, the boys were actually looking forward to watching this, third sequel to the original adaptation of a Stephen King short story. Taking place in the arctic and having major The Thing vibes, Sometimes They Came Back For More had all the potential of being the same type of direct to video trashy fun that Sometimes They Come Back Again was. Did the filmmakers succeed?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they conclude their look at the Sometimes They Come Back movies with this look at the third 1998 sequel. And be sure to stay until the end, as the boys reveal their next retrospective!

When agreeing to do a Stephen King retrospective, the boys knew that there would be plenty of direct to video sequels and/or adaptations. The Night Shift Collection is notorious for a lot of them. But nothing previously started a future Oscar winner. Until now.

After the first Sometimes They Came Back was shown on TV, the rights were bought and a whole new company was in charge. But now, they were going straight to the video store shelves. With Family Ties’s Michael Gross, Pulp Fiction’s Alexis Arquette, and the aforementioned Hilary Swank, could this be the type of hidden gem Garrett was craving for?

Listen in as the boys review the 1996 follow up to the surprisingly decently reviewed Sometimes They Come Back, the very creatively titled Sometimes They Come Back…Again.

While looking at the literary resume of Stephen King, one might find some similarities. Reason being King would seem to be honing skills in short story form before embarking on bigger books later on in his career. This all pertains to Sometimes They Come Back, a story originally published in Cavalier Magazine right before Carrie was released, and then re-released in the Night Shift, the book whose film adaptations we are reviewing now.

In 1985, our good buddy Dino DeLaurentiis decided that Sometimes They Come Back would work better in a full feature film as opposed to the anthology format his then in production Cat’s Eye was being made. But in the time between 1986 and 1991, Dino’s production company had gone into bankruptcy. However, King’s name was still bankable as the films Pet Semetary and the Oscar winning Misery, as well as the 1990 tv movie adaptation It were certified successes. So why not add Tim Matheson and King veteran Brooke Adams to the Sometimes They Come Back adaptation, and bring in Friday The 13th Part VI Jason Lives director Tom McLaughlin to helm it, and then bring it to CBS tv. How did it turn out?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam to have that question answered, and be sure to come back (see what we did there?) the next couple weeks as we will review all three (yes, three) entries in the Sometimes They Come Back series.
