DEVELOPMENT HELL returns with STEPHEN KING UNSEEN, a 4-part limited audio series unearthing lost and troubled adaptations from the Master of Horror.

Part III: THE LONG WALK

Written under the Richard Bachman pen name, THE LONG WALK is a dystopian horror drama surrounding a group of 100 teenage boys who participate in a brutal competition that will leave just one of them standing. Stephen King wrote THE LONG WALK as a teenager and published it in 1979.

While there have been multiple attempts to adapt the story for the big screen, over 40 years later, it's still a King story to have never been officially adapted. Learn about the many big-name directors attached over the years and the surprising current status of the project by listening to this episode today.

Podcaster and Constant Reader Rachel Reeves (@thevinylgrrrl) joins us as a cohost for STEPHEN KING UNSEEN.
