On the other hand, the lack of monsters on The Mist TV series is understandable to an extent, at least as far as the limited budget constraints of most cable shows.
The upcoming TV version of The Mist won’t be a “monster show,” strictly speaking.
One of the newest entries into the King-based TV series realm is Spike’s The Mist, based on King’s lengthy apocalyptic novella from the collection Skeleton Crew.
The Mist was of course previously adapted as a feature film in 2007, directed by frequent King collaborator Frank Darabont, who had previously helmed both The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.
